Finally it's my turn: INCOMING!!!! :)
Well guys this watch was a long time in the making for me. I have dreamed about joining the PP club for a long time now. To me this brand represents the epitome of haute horology.
I have to thank a few good friends for their guidance on this fantastic brand Fremstar, dddrees, kilyung, steelerfan you guys are awesome. I can't leave out puffy and Mosco for their enabling pics :) Without further introduction .... You didn't think I'd do the reveal that easily did you lol :) anyone have a guess ;)

You can't leave out Mosco
and that beautiful 5712 that was for sale? I think Mike wrote it is the last mention that gives the biggest clue. |

Sorry, I was paraphrasing...
...and guessing since you did give props to Mosco, and since Mosco recently had a 5712 for sale, that you bought a 5712 (maybe Mosco's?) I saw the 5712 in the classifieds and scrambled to think of a way to grab it, but don't have the resources at the moment. Well, there's my guess anyway. But whatever PP it is, I'm sure it will be awesome! Can't wait to see it! |

David, my friend, I'd like to guess it is indeed a 5712 but even if I am wrong I know that given your good tastes and the incredible references PP produces you bought a beautiful watch. Congratulations in advance!
P.S.: I love teasers!

I love it David, and I think that watch would actually fit my smaller wrists. What is the size of that model... Wait, maybe I shouldn't get pulled into the. Patek P. brand just yet...
