I remember Kelly saying she would be one of the first ones.
No Tiffany stamp I guess on these?

Unfortunately the lugs are not kind on this case for small wrists.

Ive got a week long trip to Vegas in middle of September. I hope it arrives before then. Taking my 5905 and the 5522 would be epic there. :)

Spoke to a girl who has worked there for years and she explained they don't stamp limited editions. They did not stamp the advanced research pieces that were received either.

Yeah I get it. Stamping them would piss other retailers off.

Stamping at 6 may have filled up a bit of the vacant real estate. I think only smooth armed people seem to be getting allocations

I was going to say you'd think these things were released in Thailand.

Take notes PP, wrist circumference must be considered in future allocations. This thing looks massive!

Unless I’m missing something, Patek doesn’t force this upon people with child-like wrist dimensions.
In other words, it’s solely the buyers who need to decide if a larger watch looks right on their wrist or not, no-one else – especially something that’s been clearly defined as a “Pilots” watch, which have always been big due to their sole design purpose of legibility.
