Wow, what a fantastic pick up - looks perfect on you & a great contrast to the RM11 to have in your rotation 👍👍👍enjoy!
Can you size the bracelet yourself (is it screws) or do you need a special tool for removing the pins?
I gather that it is almost identical to the 5980 weight & size wise, correct?

Thank you Colin

Pins...and have the equipment (pin pusher and watch holder) at home (bought when I purchased 5980).

And yes, size & weight approx the same. VERY comfortable watch

Sub dial is okay--just have to remember to look to the top instead of window on right

Roger thank you. RM is still king on the wrist time I have a feeling (and hope RG soon), but the 5990 has a great place in rotation for sure and very comfortable watch.

Very very nice Paul.


How about a dedicated 5990 thread with side by side comparisons to 5980. You and Ken could have a thread all to yourselves!

Desperate to see one in the flesh, also keen to see how it stacks up size wise versus other watches

Thank you!

But, I'm just a mere mortal--Ken, Elliot, John and others are the Patek go to (and of course the Patek museum himself Khalid).

I'm just here to satisfy some personal fun
