Met my Grail...
...and my next purchase (hopefully) and potentially a sporty number!

What size is your wrist? I love the 5207 but always thought it would be too big on my 6.5” wrist.

5524 is likely to be next. Need to do a lot of saving for the 5270! But...5968 could be a curveball option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, stock strap. Really nice, although could do with being just a touch thicker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, in truth, whilst the 5524 is a bad value proposition (whereas the 5968 is an awesome value proposition), I’m not in it for that, and the 5524 fits much better in the collection. The 5968 clashes a little with my 5990 and arguably the AP Diver. Also have other sports watches such as a Daytona on Oysterflex and Royal Oak, but don’t have anything like the 5524. And who knows, the 5524 is not that popular so may not hang around too long, so could be like the Rolex 116600 which appeared a bad value prop when I bought it, but suddenly came good! What appeals about both is that they are Pateks that are so un-Patek-like! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Were these all for sale? If so I would have drooled like a happy dog seeing the 5968 and 5712...One of each please! Swipe till my card melts.

Nope!! Its a stunning watch but it’s just not me. I chose the 5990 over it last time and once again I couldn’t pull the trigger. I’m not worthy!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At current valuations, the 5524 is calling to me! I wonder if I can pick one up around $30k :)

not having a 5711, though, it would probably be pretty damn tempting |

30 is a little low but not that far. I had the opportunity to buy one for 34k and passed. But kinda wish I hadn’t. I did try on a 5524r the other day and surprisingly I really liked it. But it was new and quite a bit more.
