Went searching everywhere and I found a gem



Any guesses TRF?

Here is a hint!

Daytonaman88 - Close on the Smurf! That was the watch I was wearing today (in honor of Neil saying its Bluesday)

Cmon bro! I had like three more hints left!


Anyways the cats out the bag.....
My first Patek, and also my first watch that isn't a Rolex.
I've always been scared to venture out of Rolex, but the itch was too strong.
I fell in love with it as soon as I put it on.

My Patek 5712R....

More pics and unboxing later (the packaging is AMAZING)

Sorry about that. I just know that watch very well having owned it. The micro rotor is hypnotic.

I don't know where the micro rotor is
I have no clue how to adjust the band
And I'm too clumsy to use the stylus to adjust the moonphase

But I love this thing! The worksmanship of this watch is head and shoulders above anything I've ever had. Just can't get myself to settle down, this thing is something else.


These three sang to me, but only one prevailed!

Many congrats my friend!, I thought it was the 5980r as the close up made the case look quite thick but I love the slimmer 5712, like silk on the wrist. I was wearing my 5711/1r after a few days break and it feels so refined.
