My first PP!!!!
Ok guys... decided on a very nice preowned Patek 5134G Travel Time. Just got it about 45 mins ago and I think its my FAVORITE watch I've ever had!!! Its def love at first sight!!! Looks great, fits great and is VERY comfortable on the wrist! Its almost like Im not wearing a watch... Not sure if thats the comfort level, or the weight. The gently used strap wraps around my wrist very nicely too!
All in all, its very new to me, but its def something thats going to stick around... cant wait to get my NEXT one too! |

That's a model you don't see very often, congratulations! Your wrist shots sure look great.

Interesting Patek, never seen that model before actually.
More importantly though, you'd better see a doctor, something is wrong w/ your arm.

Great piece! You need to work out more though, your arm is skinny and flabby.

Thanks all!!! Always been a Rolex guy, and recently ventured over to Vacheron with my Overseas (which I like a lot too as a daily wearer). Now I have a Patek, and there's something else to say about having this brand!
Thanks too all that endured my countless post, PM's and emails while searching for this watch! |

Hey, I also spent 6 years active duty in the army! Sadly... I don't look like that.
Congrats on the new PP!

Congratulations on your choice of Pateks.
I don't think that you will have to worry about anybody trying to mug you!

This is all a 43 year old retired guy can muster. (hit 300 BP again though... not too bad.)
