This arrived today, after several years of lusting after this reference and my first Patek. I finally saved up enough, and came across this one for sale here on TRF by Peter (WXwatches, Lee2375) and was able to get it for what I think is a fair price. He's a class act, and was a pleasure to deal with for anyone in the market for a watch.

I love the slate dial and classic proportions of the 5146g, and hope to really wear this watch often. I am a die-hard Rolex fan, but this timepiece really speaks to me. It came with a brown strap, which frankly I don't think looks very good with the dial, so I am planning to source a grey strap most likely from my AD. I think it will add to this watches ability to straddle both formal and casual setting very well.

I contemplated the 5146p, and nearly pulled the trigger on one, but tbh in the end I simply couldn't justify the price premium (for me and my financial situation). After all, I can get the Hulk I've also been salivating over and have change left over, so when you think about it that way, it seems pretty significant.

If you are an owner of fan of this reference, I'd love to hear from you. I'm toasting with a nice Margux from Chateau du Terte. Cheers guys!

Busted! I was too excited to get it on

On that subject... Do you set the day, date and moon phase with the crown in the open or closed position?

Thanks! I know I just think brown isn't my thing...

I think it will look nice with the grey, I love the grey strap on the 5146p.

I'm thinking the same thing. Maybe I'll keep the brown in circulation but I think the grey would look incredible with the slate dial.
