Nice watch!! Not too into this brand but may I ask a question? Is there any lume on the watch? Any lume pics to show?

Watch Professor · 17 October 2012, 01:12 AM

Beautiful piece. Congratulations.

byeedo · 17 October 2012, 01:27 AM

subtona · 17 October 2012, 01:50 AM

well done, you guys just keep pushing me

... are you wearing puffy's jeans as well, that pocket shot looks familiar?

jerseyden · 17 October 2012, 02:24 AM

A real beaut. Enjoy.

Congrats Dalip you sure not joking around when it comes to Haute Horlogerie

Mauiguy · 17 October 2012, 07:08 AM

I'd like to echo what everyone else said, but will add that PP really hit a huge home run with the 5167. Elegant simplicity and versatility all in 1 magnificent watch! Congrats!

spuds · 17 October 2012, 07:10 AM

Superb!!!

Congratulations Dalip mate!!!

The Joker · 17 October 2012, 07:25 AM

I don't have any pics handy, but this one actually does have real good lume.

Thanks you all very much

Your comments are what always add even more to the joy of owning a new piece.

The watch strap needs patience to size and careful/constant measuring/checking putting the watch on/off following each cut. Started with two at a time and then one leaving it looser than you normally would at the end.

My local AD watchmaker said he'd do it as he'd done them before and knew exactly how much room to leave. Especially as you needed more room with the tropical strap tending to pull in a bit over time as it moulds to your wrist shape.

It's not a hard thing to do as you can see from Puffy's tutorial but its an easy thing to get wrong if you're not patient and fit it too snug.

I've already found that its shifted during my course of wearing it as my wrist changed with the different temperatures.

With the watch being so light it works very well to have it with more room than you normally would.

I found this with the AP diver also. I tend to often have that one notch down than I think would be right when I first put it on. With this you don't have the choice ....once done that's it.

Once again....really appreciate the comments.

This is a very special watch.

sleddog · 17 October 2012, 09:07 AM

Love it, and certainly a special piece to have Dalip!

Enjoy it mate, you deserve it~~!

nick c · 17 October 2012, 11:38 AM

Congrats!

brkanand · 17 October 2012, 11:42 AM

Great! Owning and wearing a PP is a totally different experience. It is a new feel. Great addition to your collection. Congratulations!

alexlt730512 · 17 October 2012, 11:51 AM

congrat, looks great on u

Stuxnet · 17 October 2012, 02:03 PM

Hope you are enjoying it as much as I am. I was a Rolex man like you and now with my second PP I realize I am on a slippery slope.

Once you go Patek Philippe, nothing else feels quite as sweet.

dalip · 17 October 2012, 02:12 PM

Thanks guys-

psv · 17 October 2012, 02:34 PM

Time to add PP to that profile of yours! :-)

dalip · 17 October 2012, 03:17 PM

Was just thinking that Patrick. Will need to cut it in later.
