Nice! Hello from the other side (of the channel):



Also very impressed by the Patek-Army on here, great pieces!

Cheers Fred

Here's one my father gave me back in about 1982. It was his first 'proper' watch, which he saved up to buy in the late 50s, I believe. I recently had it serviced, and bought the new strap. 18ct Accurist.

Never really dress up so this is the closest I have to a true dress watch.

The "linen" dial on that piece is beautiful.

This is clearly my fave Patek chrono PC, it's incredible and discontinued if I understood, but then again it's not the only incredible watch you have in the collection, even this one if I remember you have the white and black, now that is awesome

Thank you and i agree😃
But I do not own both, thinking about it though but seems a bit nutty to do. I only own the white one which you are correct is discontinued.

We can hang your jersey up into the rafters with that piece. Hard to top in both rarity and beauty. My only gripe is you did not include the movement shot

I am still working on getting a serious manually wound chrono but till now here are my dress watch contributions
