I saw it again today as I was passing the store - they have it on show all alone in a massive streetside window - it looked rather lost but beautiful in there. I was seriously debating getting one myself but I think I have decided against it but it truly is totally gorgeous. |

It's not short for me. It's a 13 hour flight from Singapore!

My tape measure is cumbersome, Home Depot style. I didn’t want to commit metal on metal crime. My eyes suck to read the hash marks. I think you are overthinking. Call AD ask for pt tang and strap for the P. My guess is 20 at lugs and taper to 18 at tang or 18/16. Let them figure it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I believe it’s 21mm lug and strap tapers to 16mm. I removed the deployant as well and wear a different strap with tang

I spent a good 20 mins with the 5170p at an AD last month and realized that I’m only buying it for the potential of becoming a collectors piece down the road. But I’m afraid that diamond markers won’t make it one as they are not timeless nor classic and will always be considered bling bling no matter how subtle they are.
Long story short, I passed. Even though price was really good at $77K bnib. |

Anything can be collectible. Beanie Babies, shoe laces, hair from famous people... Have you considered the hot limited edition sneaker resale market?
It's all speculation, and can change to the downside quickly (just as Mr. Kraft).

Smart Move!!! It is a nice looking watch but IMO there is no way it is going to be collectible. They are all over the place and in this instance cant even be sold at 19K off of list. If Patek releases a 5170A this year the P will really tank is my guess. I am all for buying because you love the look but so few modern day pieces are going to be collectible. Just my 2cents

Wow! Boodles must of got the last dump of stock before it was announced to be discontinued. My AD had two across the stock books for a good few months then recently sold both and cannot source any more.
Boodles will soon move them to speculators I am sure. Its a beautiful watch |

how many would you guess - 500 made? Doesn’t seem excessive to
