They bring a lot of watches in from their other stores. They had a large selection of Patek watches including two 5170's. They even had a BLNR in the store. That is one I have not seen in their showcase ever.

I would have loved to check out the 5170s! I've been on the hunt for a 5990. I've got a few other expenses coming up, but I'll get there. Incidentally, I just sold my BLNR. I'll have to check it out next time!

Congrats, and thanks for taking the 2nd pic, it's the first time I see the dial having a shade I like, usually they are brownish gold color, this shade is much nicer IMO

Thanks very much! The lighting at the AD is intense and it tends to wash out lots of colors when shooting with an iPhone.

I am now a happy member of the club.




Stunning and congratulations. Will this be a daily piece? Looks extremely versatile to me!

I do wear it every week for a couple of days. It is extremely comfortable and I really like the way it looks.

Slim and light, probably the easiest full gold to wear daily I have worn.

Thank you! Agree, the RG is beautiful and the Nautilus dial and case shape kick it up to another level.
