cheers tony

the 5205 is the winner for me but i'd need it on a deployment buckle, the tang made it feel like it was stitched onto the wrist with a paperclip

in reality, they're all fine watches...

if only i was a billionaire, or even a millionaire..

Anders, I know what you mean..........
However, take into account that a lot of their Grand Complications also come on a tang buckle................Very Strange

Oh! and by the way.............I hate you..................Why did you show me the photo of the black dial 5980, now I can't get it out of my mind!!!!!!!!!!

You are such a bad boy LOL

I can't believe you quoted the whole first post. Talk about using up bandwidth...

Puffy, the photo tour was awesome. Thanks for sharing!

i think it'd be rude not to post these pics... i've got many many more from previous outings

i'd say the 5205 is nicer but i can see the appeal of the 5980 as well...

Thanks for sharing. Fantastic photos

Many beautiful watches, but I think the 5124 looks really special and interesting. I'm not totaly sold on the color of the strap though

Great photos! I did a similar tour of the Patek ADs a couple of weeks ago, was great fun :chuckle

Is it just me or is the Nautilus much nicer on leather as opposed to steel bracelet? I am yet to fully bond with the aesthetics of the 5711 on steel bracelet but were it to be available on leather I could definitely see it in my future

i think pateks look best on straps whereas rolex has to come on a steel bracelet
