The Pilot Has Landed---5524G Incoming!!!
I waited over a year for this, last week my AD called and said get your ducks in a row, its on the way. So, a quick one hour flight from LA to the Bay Area and it was on my wrist. First impressions, the watch oozes Patek quality, sits flat on my wrist and is very comfortable (will be better with a short strap arriving in a few days), seems light weight after wearing my platinum 5905P, is very legible, and the finishing on the movement is really well done. Something that will take getting used to, the rotor noise is really loud, in fact it's the noisiest watch I've ever seen or heard. Here a couple pictures, more to follow.

Looks fantastic on you Martin!
I remember when we saw it at Patek in Geneva you'd buy one--you had that look. HUGE congrats my friend! |

Congrats, Martin! I tried it on a few weeks ago - great wrist presence, extremely legible, and a well-proportioned watch. It looks great...enjoy!

Ha, I guess I should have been more specific. Did you have to wait over a year from placing an order/deposit?

Congrats Martin as she looks great! Glad to see another hard to get piece going to someone who can appreciate it as opposed to a friggin grey dealer or flipper. Wear her in good health my friend.
