Non-Rolex Watch Appreciation
This watch is so awesome I had to create a new thread. First off, I'm not really a Patek Philippe guy but this one is really something. Second, it mighty not be a watch for purist with the lume and the mixture of calendar registers and date wheel. Third, I'm not really a fan of complicated watches - and moon phases. Never the less, this design is flawless. I have seldom seen a watch with move complications that leaves the impression of open space. The dial is not crowded at all IMO. I don't own it, but dang, its a stunning watch. Feel free add the non-Rolex watch you appreciate for whatever reason And if you do own it, don't be shy to add wrist shots

I love the moon phase on your Patek . . . I love your Patek!
To follow a similar train of thought, here are two of my own moon phase watches.

Just to clarify the PP is not mine, nor is the pic. I just really appreciate it so credit to whoever owns it and took the pic.

That's a great watch. There are way too many non-Rolex watches that I appreciate to list. however given my love of Genta design, these two are my favorites.

Fabulous dial on that Patek
I am definitely a dial man. Love the ruthenium dial on my JLC MC Boutique edition

I'm also a big fan of Genta design, am yet to acquire an AP RO.
I also love Omega, IWC and PP. Here's my latest non-Rolex acquisition. And my beloved Speedy Pro

I do appreciate brands other than Rolex. AP and IWC are my favorite non-Rolex brands. I still need to get myself a nice PP Aquanaut or Nautilus.
