New 5270r black face on bracelet

[fbx]

I’m in love with the new release. Will the bracelet on this new model be interchangeable with a leather strap?

Alternatively, will the black face be available on a leather strap or only with the bracelet?

Great looking

Don't like that bracelet. Otherwise very nice. Can put your own strap on it if there is not an OEM or the P's one.

Not interchangeable the date month and leap year corrections are done with a stylus and the bracelet is where the adjusting is done. Never seen anything like it but that’s the way it’s done.

Very cheeky.

Editing my post. Seriously Neil? Read the description on the Patek website. Amazing that I post for the first time in months and am attacked for being informed. Read the description on the Patek website.

I think Neil means the way Patek handled it was cheeky not your response Martin!

Welcome back

That’s what I thought until I looked up the definition of cheeky.

Not you Martin, I meant PP and the way they are trying to force the bracelet on you.

I think #2 would be better applied here

Are they not simply saying that to allow adjustment with the bracelet in place that they have had to put special notches in the links to gain access? They haven't moved the correctors from standard so something had to be done. I assume removing the bracelet and replacing with a strap allows clear access as per normal?

Ok I’ll accept that.

Maybe. But if I were spending 200K on a watch I wouldn’t assume that. Why don’t you use your AD relationship to find out and let us know. I’ve seen guys take the bracelet off the 5960 and replace it with a strap, leaves a big gap and the case isn’t finished the same between the lugs.

I didn't suggest anyone would assume this to be the case - I would always ask and if you are interested and don't have an AD to ask I can enquire for you?

There are many photos of 5960 with straps that look perfect and from owners who are very fussy.

I’ve seen those pictures, it doesn’t look right to me and I’ve owned the watch and worn it on the bracelet but if you like the look on strap fine with me. I obviously have an AD but if you want to find out from yours that’s fine with me too. And thanks for the cheeky response.

No, but the OP might be wondering “what the hell happened to my thread”.

I actually think any thread that doesn't mention Nautilus is a great thread these days.

[martinr]

Back to the topic I just saw on SJX an article about Clapton’s 5970 on bracelet (same bracelet as the new 5270) and the push correctors are not on the bracelet but the case. So this new bracelet may or may not be interchangeable. Clapton’s bracelet looks like it’s scratced pretty bad from the correctors so maybe that’s the reason for the new design.

Martinr: on your 5960 with bracelet, is the case finished the same way as the strap version? What makes it not look right in your opinion? The lugs appear identical to me. Thanks in advance

Look at this thread. This member was the first I know of that tried it on a strap. His pictures are blurry but it doesn’t look right with the strap, especially the straight spring bar end. There is a guy on Puristpro website dr koi I think and he has a strap with curved spring bars and a curved strap so there is no gap. But if you try that on the 5270 you’ll cover the corrector pins.

The lugholes look very low down on that hence the wide gap when it is on the wrist, I suspect Patek does this on purpose if they are not supplying an OEM strap option, so maybe same on this 5270.

Fantastic piece!! Love it!
