100 grams of perfection (photo heavy)

5146G-010

Could this be the perfect watch?

Really like the clasp mechanism. Always thought it looked a little confusing in photos, but instantly makes perfect sense in person.

Examined the watch front and back under 30X magnification. It is absolutely flawless.

Including a picture of the rotor bearings, 7 small white spheres, thought some people here might find the picture interesting.

The lume dot looks a bit off

Thanks for the awesome macro. That polished numeral exudes quality.

Very nice but I gather that beauty weighs more than 100 grams! SS aqua is something like 80g.

I'm genuinely surprised there is not more interest in Patek dress watches. That's definitely where their core competencies lie and every Patek PM dress watch I've handled was incredibly well finished and felt so much more refined and precious than any Aquanaut or Nautilus. Great photos, thanks for sharing!

Congrats! The 5146 is a classic AC! I have the R.

My 5205 weighs 94g without the deployment clasp. Probably will get the deployment clasp after I'm done with this strap.

Dude it's not even in the top half of all watches, doesn't even say SS Sport on the dial.
