Thanks guys , work comes first ..no work then no watches !!!!
Had to go back after my meetings to get strap sized and pay for it :-)
I let the watchmaker cut it. One of goodies that the AD throw in was extra strap so guess another go to get right ....

So how hard is it to source a 5167 in the UK?

Congratulations. It's a great watch. You will get a lot of wear out of it.

thanks , he is wrist shot , still need go back to AD and collect the wooden box.
Yes , this my 1st patek and all I can say I'm very impressed..super light everyday patek and great for these summer months...
In end not really sure how hard in reality the 5167 is to source , took me under 2 months and mine came directly from factory.

Yeah, i am wondering too after your other thread Scuba77. How difficult was it finally, how long did you have to wait after first contact, and what did your AD finally charge you.... As you mentioned that you had been offered some different options about the straps etc...

Congratulations on the acquisition!!

Very nice. Great choice. I really begun to like rubber straps more then anything, so nice during the almost full year summer in Southern Califrnia.
