Incoming! First Patek

Just received my 5167A. Unbelievably comfortable and the fit and finish are tops. The dial is truly mesmerizing.

I can’t say enough great things about my AD. They’re the best!

Congrats, im happy you like it and well done for getting it at MSRP from your AD. I understand this reference is hot nowadays, but in my opinion it is the ugliest Patek ever made and among the ugliest watches full stop. Absolutely do not understand the hype at all...

Don’t understand the post. If you don’t like it, why not move on? He’s happy he got it and obviously likes it. Why crap on his thread? Do we understand the hype behind any of the watches like the Daytona, Submariner, GMT Master, 5711, RM011, 15202....?

I think that’s how my AD justifies it, knowing I’ll have these for my lifetime and pass them on to my children.

Congratulations!!! I asked my AD about snagging the same watch before my 20th Wedding anniversary in June. Would be my first Patek and I'm hoping they can come through!

I am not crapping on the tread, i congratulated the OP and im sincerely happy for him that he got it. its a tough reference to get at retail. But that does not stop me from expressing my opinion on the piece, its a discussion board after all.
