A Trip of a Lifetime Deserves a Watch to Remind Me!
I cannot thank Danny Govberg and George Mayor enough for submitting my name for this 5976 1G Anniversary Patek Philippe and getting the job done quickly. Everytime I wear it I will remember the trip of a lifetime and those who I met.

Congrats Dave! And thanks again for sharing the pics of your trip. Do you still have the 5980R? It would be a very cool duo of Nautili (Hope that is the plural form LOL)

The 5976 is larger and here is the best flat picture I can take with my cell phone. The embossing I very hard to notice unless the light hits the dial in certain angles. In lower light it is not noticeable.

Two beautiful watches. I really like the size of the 5976, I find the dial of the 5980 to look a little small in comparison to the rest of the watch so the proportions of the 5976 really work well for me.

Looks like the WG wears like a 43/44 so should be great for many. I esp like the WG's Patek lettering and date font.
