I know some are great but my lifestyle and way of dressing would make the dressy watch stay 99% of the time in the safe, and that is something I do not want

I respectfully disagree with you 1000%

Ahh "wrist presence", the WIS version of "good personality"...

That is incorrect. All here do not disagree. That is easy to prove based on other threats. Many PP fans do not appreciate the thin watches at all. Fact.

Fair that my comment what "politically" incorrect to provoke debate, but how much executive class is it to hammer a guy 3 times on the head in a debate about watches?

Jack, no problem, I wasn't at all shocked by your comment, it made me laugh, I respect your opinion, before getting my 5712 I also was only in big, thick and heavy watches, now the exact contrary, I think it's the "feminin" attribute that people here didn't appreciate, I found it funny

I don't respect his opinion and it was more of a foolish comment. The 5167 is anything but feminine so to me the comment was simply rude. It is one thing to have opinion and another to make rude foolish statement. Class and tact are fine attributes of good forum members. Just my opinion Arnaud and Jack if you are reading.

Just like your post in 5711 or 5712 thread. Tiny girly wrist....Plain rude and foolish.

5167 guys, any regrets on the broker plain hands looking unfinished or out of place? It's always caught my eye as peculiar there isn't a bit more elegant Lume plot shape and champers or something ala gs or meant other brands. In fact more or less I do feel patek overlooks finishing on hands like I feel the similar ap RO/ nautilist rounded tips hands are better on the ap

My wife let me borrow for this wrist shot...Looks good in jeans or shorts or dressed up even in man's clothes.



PS She has 5068R and loves it so she agrees with you but hers has diamonds.

Ken I respect his opinion in the sense that he feels that the 5167 is too small and thin, but the way of expressing it was foolish IMO, and of course it wasn't very tactful or classy either, but in our times few people are anyways like I said I found it funny in the sense that the way of saying it was ridiculous, no doubt about it, Jack maybe thought this was the Panerai sub forum
