Ask me what time it is....

Be an originator not a follower.

I think you have amazing taste, except for the LeBron. Sorry for taking the cheep shot Would be more sympathetic to PJS's "honesty" if I didn't think it was driven by a desire to bring others down because they have things he hasn't attained. But again he can prove me wrong with a photo.

Amazing taste Bryant park and amazing collection. Also thought lebron was weird in pictures but in my opinion it’s a Watch that’s has to be seen and tried on in real life. Amazing on the hand. Again I’m from New York with a Russian background so maybe like a little flash..

[Bryant Park]

Thank you and you are a gentleman. I suspect you are younger and bigger then me so I am sure you can pull off the Lebron. I wear a little gold and my kids bust me that I am making up for some shortcomings.

[Snow-Dweller]

Very very nice.

[Javier1971]

1971 not that young but yes I’m 6 foot 4 inches. Kids make fun of me everyday saying “dad your to old for this”

Congrats on an awesome piece! I have the 5524 (which I paid over MSRP), but would pick up a 5522 in a heartbeat if it was offered to me by my AD.

Love your 5905 as well, one of my favorite references.

Enjoy your fine collection in the best of health!

Cheers!

To me it’s a brilliant way for Patek to hype up a need by limiting production and releasing them in the US exclusively. Authorized dealers are using this Watch to tell you how lucky you are to get one knowing in the future you will be obligated to buy a big price watch from them where they profit much more from. The 5524 is much nicer in my opinion. Best decision is to sell now while you can double your money..

OP has a 488 GTB Ferrari, I don't think he needs profit on a quick flip of a 5522. Besides that, I think it's in poor form to tell a stranger what to do with their money or possessions. I don't control your opinion, your free to say as you please, but that being said, I quite like the 5522, I think it's a quirky looking Patek.

That's where you're wrong. This reference is easily worth six figures, perhaps seven.

Actually I could use the profit from my quick flip to pay for the gas?? . :)

Absolutely correct. I heard Janet Yellen is pegging the value of the dollar to the trading price of the 5522 instead of gold.

Very Nice! Or you can sell the 488 and buy many 5524s like Javier is suggesting.

[Socal to az]

Or I could just buy the 5524 when it arrives and keep my 488. Love that car! :)

This is definitely the best plan.

[Socal to az]

Hey I got no issue with Javier not liking the 5522. It's his prerogative and he has skin in the game. My only gripe is that the thread title wasn't what is your opinion of the 5522? I just wanted to tell what time it was! ;)

I heard Kim Un bought up half 5522 supply at retail, then will flip it for some nukes. 7 figure profit per watch after all.

[Hairdude1]

Congrats!!!

[Javier1971]

Social to az sorry that im insulting you on your thread. Great cars and I’m a big fan of the 5905. Platinum, 42mm and complication, It has it all. My point is what if Mercedes decided to make a limited sls with no gull wing doors with a 4 cylinder c class engine and would only make 500 pieces in brown color. Would you buy it?

[toomuchtalk]

Looks amazing! Congratualions!

Javier, you seem like a nice enough fella and I'd love to spend time engaging you on your watches. But you don't seem to understand that I'm not looking for validation from you. I don't give two shits about your opinion on my watch.

Imagine if I came to your house and spent 4 hours telling you how ugly the decorations are.

I get it- you don't like the 5522. I happen to be a fan. Do you get that?

It's not my only watch- I've got plenty. I wasn't forced to buy it. I chose to buy it. I like the simple clean dial. I like the 42 mm size. I like the fact that it's a Patek. I like the fact that it's unique. I like the fact it's limited.

So please either let's discuss something else- or just stop wasting my time.

Your call.....

Yeah, and don't call him Shirley.

Javier, he's Socal, he's not Social!

Social to az. “Don’t give a shit” is pretty harsh and insulting comment. I guess opinions are not respected here and are all taken as insults. Maybe you are on this forum looking for some kind affirmation for something you are lacking in real life. If you are looking to get affection get a dog eitherwise grow up...

[Marciano490]

You should've waited about 21 minutes to take that picture.

Why should he humor you after your multiple and varied comments on why you dislike the 5522? You stated your opinion and he stated his, is he the only person being harsh and insulting? This thread has devolved into a troll fest.

OP nice wrist shot, from your incessant posts around watch sizing I was expecting to see a much bigger wrist, . Enjoy the watch!
