My 2nd Patek - 5167a (Totally unexpected!)

Hi all,

I would like to share my happiness in acquiring a 5167a from the AD.

As most of you recalled, I had just bought a 7234a from the AD. I had put down my name for a 5167a previously and SE mentioned that there was no visibility of delivery but will try her very best. Little did I expect that she will call me on the fateful day to inform me that the watch has arrived and ready for collection.

I relished the entire process as I appreciate how rare it is to receive a patek sports model in this current environment.

A crucial reason why i can be in possession of 2 amazing watches is because of my SE. I first touched base with her last year. Since then, there was no contact till now. She has duly delivered what she promised and followed up on my requests.

With realistic expectations and mutual trust, I am pleased to be on a journey with this AD.

Thanks everyone!

Is it easy to tighten this strap? Or do you need to order a smaller one?
