5207P vs 5208P

Hi guys,

I'm in the market for a minute repeater Patek, I've been the biggest fan of 5208P, but tourbillon makes me wonder about 5207P.

What would be your choice?

Cheers

I went with a 5208 over a 5207. I have lots of other tourbillons but bizarrely didn't have a monopoussoir in my collection.

Went with the R over the P - just a personal preference for black dials.

That said if I can find a 5207P chocolate dial, will absolutely snap it up if priced correctly.

I am far from legitimately considering either of these, but looks alone 5208 is hard to beat to my eyes.

In service at the moment but here is a shot before it was sent off. Sorry for the low quality I need to compress photos a lot to be able to post them here. Hence why I rarely post photos on here any longer.

Lovely!

Upload to drop box, click get share link, paste link into the image share button here, edit the end of the link from dl=1 to raw=1 then submit your post.

Full size higher quality photos.

Indeed! But if anyone was going to supply this wonderful forum with high quality imagery, it should be you

Well I tried but it didn’t work. Just says file invalid when I add the image link in the photo dialogue box. Sorry don’t have time or patience to try and figure it out.

I wouldn’t be able to do that either. But if you get the “Tapatalk” app you just hit the photo icon and your camera roll from your phone pops up and you just pick a photo and post it.

sorry to hear that.

If you have dropbox app on your phone, go to photo in camera roll, press share and you can send it straight to dropbox and it auto gives you the link to paste for here.

Dont attach it as an image, instead, you click on the yellow "insert image" button above the reply text box - copy your link there, you just change dl=0 to raw=1.


If it seems like a faff, TapTalk is easy and will work!
