Your first Patek
I guess I'm more of a sports watch type guy.

Here's my first one.

Only time will tell if this leads to more.

I don't have one yet, do I need to post pictures of my future first?

How about I let you guys decide? This way I'll have someone to blame when my girlfriend will want to kill me for having spent a fortune on a watch!

I don't have a Patek, but I'd I were to buy one, the 5711/1A would certainly be high one my list! Great watch!

I kind of like the look of the 6102P.



If you get us both one I am sure you'll go out in style Carl.

Indeed, even Neil Young wouldn't have said it better!

I like sport watches especially those from Rolex. When I think about getting my first dress watch, I was thinking about VC vs PP. Before I got the 5127G, my only dress watch with a leather strap is a 1940s Omega Seamaster (A gift from my grandfather before he died a few years back). I am glad I pick the 5127G. I like it cause this watch is quite versatile for a dress watch and I think the looks will never date!

Great looking watch, I like the way that dial, hands, and hour markers look.

Thanks for sharing.

No Patek yet, but there're simply too many Pateks I have my eyes on. Will it be a 5711, 5167, 5726, 5146 or 5127, only time will tell

But I've never been any good at keeping secrets or teasing others.
