5146 was in the cards, but as others stated your remark kind of rules it out. Whatever it is I'm sure it is a great watch. Congrats in advance.

Today was yesterday's tomorrow
Today will be tomorrow's yesterday
Yesterday's today was yesterday
Tomorrow's today is tomorrow
Yesterday's day after tomorrow is tomorrow
Tomorrow's day before yesterday was yesterday
The day before yesterday's tomorrow was yesterday
The day after tomorrow's yesterday is tomorrow
The day before yesterday's day after tomorrow
And the day after tomorrow's day before yesterday
Are both today
The day after tomorrow's tomorrow
And the day before yesterday's yesterday
Are both too far away
Todays turn into yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes

So as you all know I have been going back and forth with which Patek to get for a while now... Finally I thought I found the one I wanted... something that was a bit different in my collection... something more dressy... thought the 5146 was the way to go...

Then it came down to the color of metal... then color of dial... then I finally realized that even though the 5146 is a beautiful watch... it just does not fit my life style... So then the choice was clear...

I had to make room for this next Patek, which was my Grail Patek for a long time now... so I sold a few watches and went for this with out a second thought!!!


The color of dial I chose on this one is Black... While I love both Blue and Black on this piece equally, I thought the Black dial was less common...


So here it is... thanks for looking....
