Apologize for no photos, but I did not bring my camera.

So we are at a Newcomers Club of La Jolla event, Western themed party.

And we are seated randomly. So I noticed the guy next to me was rocking a 5712 (at first I thought it was a 5711).

Well, I asked him about his Nautilus and he had just bought in a few days ago from our local PP dealer, and we began a 2 hour watch discussion, much to the consternation of both of our wives and the others at the table. Even though both our wives wore Rolexes, they are not really into watches.

He showed me photos on his phone of his 15 watch collection, which included several Pateks, a Rolex DSSD, a GP, a minute repeater, an IWC, and so on. He specializes in complications.

He uses a microscope to examine the finishing on his watch and has taken some stunning shots of the movements.

He struck me as a loner and does not participate in forums.

You should have sent him here! Well maybe not right now. Patek section is a bit of a mess

I told him about this forum but he did not seem interested. He takes photos of the innards of his watches purely for his own enjoyment. Very nice guy, though.

Which minute repeater did he have?
