It was your pics that started this addiction!!!

Thanks for everything Puff, I'm still in shock that I have the 5167a on my wrist today.

Congratulations, it is always a lovely feeling when you buy a Patek Philippe.

But it is even better, when it happens to be your grail.

So enjoy it :)

Hi Gents, thanks for all the great comments and hearty congratulations. I'm just working an overnight shift and man I've caught myself looking down at so many times! The 5167 is truly has truly a mesmerizing dial

Cheers, David

And wow....can't believe this is my 100th post!

Hi David! Congrats on the Patek! A true grail in my opinion, and one day I wish to be opening a box just like that!

Quick question, and I don't mean to be nosy, but if you're a surgeon, where do you store the timepiece when scrubbing in (or do you keep it on under the gloves and gown)? I'm an MS1 currently and have yet to find a good solution for this conundrum, even though I have a "few" years to go hahah!
