I don't understand why anyone would spend $60,000 to $70,000 on a watch that has one name on the case/dial and another on the movement. Quote:

I met the Dalai Lama in person and gave him a lime spritzer. I also sat a couple of feet in front of him while he discussed spirituality. Now I have something in common with him besides just the spritzer!

Not impressed. It looks waaaay too small on him and doesn't go with the outfit.

Some things don't have to be HUGE to scream quality - Pateks are one of those things. Is that Katy Perry with Mayer?

Geez guys no one said anything about him needing something huge. But (1) he's a big guy and that watch looks too small on him. It's 38mm. He has other bigger models that look much better. (2) He's wearing casual clothes with a small black dress watch, doesn't go. Replace that with a 5960 and he's good to go. A 5980 even better.
Don't get so worked up. We all know it's a great watch, but I just don't think it works for him in that pic. And that is Katy Perry. |

As far as I'm concerned I respect your opinion but I'll have to say that I think this size looks good on his wrist, even with the casual clothes.

No hard feeling to anyone, I'm ok being in the minority on this one.
Maybe a picture of Ken's 5960P or 5980R would make everyone feel better :) |

...Along with his 5070P perhaps? What about the 5159?

Great!
Watch it mate, we don't like to read that type of vulgar comments around here! I'm sure it would fit you well, go for it!

Same here. There's more to life than oversized sports watches. The GQ style guide says the trend towards "bigger is better" has run its course. A gentleman's watch need not scream "look at me" unless the main focus is on the watch itself. I'm totally on board with this and have lately become enamored by crossover watches (i.e., dress/sport) that are more subtle and have smaller footprints. IMO, they look awesome.
