I'm subscribed to this thread. There's a lot of less expensive watches that I would like to own but I've decided that I need to really discipline myself and save up for my first Patek. It's going to be hard, but this thread will keep me focused.

I agreed. Don't waste money on something that you like. Go for something that you lust! No need to restrict your first Patek watch with complications. Just spend your hard earn cash on watches that appeal to your eyes and make you happy for years to come!

I say we put our money in a pot, buy a great looking Patek and send share it!

How about a month each?

P.S.: In the unfortunate and surprising case that you would refuse such a great offer, will you cut one out for me?

Beautiful! Is this a ring made out of a President bracelet? It fits your Patek quite well.

That is a very nice Patek! You don't see them quite often.
