5968 Arrival
So my 5968 has arrived at my AD, I’m collecting it tomorrow.
Would you go for orange or black strap? It comes with both options. (Pic from internet for reference) Thanks 🙏 |

Congrats,
Have not seen any posts for this watch incoming yet. Look forward to the pictures. Are you based in the North or South of U.K? |

My AD sent me some pics but I cannot get them to upload. I will when I take some of my own. Yes I believe it’s one of the first released. I’m in the south.

Black if I had to choose, but to be honest, I’d switch AD if he doesn’t throw-in the orange one as a freebie.

I suggest to get both strap too if possible. This reference is highly on my list.

Lovely piece. If you couldn't get both - I would get orange just to be different.

Congrats, look forward to the live pics.
And just to avoid some confusion on the straps in this thread - it comes with both as standard. |

Love the orange one. It's something way more special than the ordinary black rubber.

love the watch and i want it, minus the orange strap. I said the AP funky diver collection was a bit tacky outside of beach wear and i have a feeling that orange strap will be the same. I haven't tried it on with orange though, only black.
Its a Patek... on an orange rubber strap Congrats

nice get! I think the color just depends on your mood or if this is a "sport" addition to your collection. Orange says it louder. A lot of guys wear a 5167 for every day, and no dress watch.
Enjoy |
