No offense taken (for what it’s worth)

Why even respond? A fellow TRF'er just got an incredible piece - a piece that for many is a dream to get from an AD. Say congrats or move on -

And who are you? The forum police? The OP has responded twice above and has no issue whatsoever with my comment. If you have something to say about the watch, go ahead. Otherwise, mind your own biz.

Nope - not the forum police just a decent person that would never call someone's newly acquired timepiece 'ugly'. Not trying to start a debate here so let's leave it at that. A rule I learned long ago 'if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all'

I meant to post this too but they threw in this Patek watch roll. Like I said, they treat me better than I deserve!

Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of Patek! The factory must have released a batch since I just got a 5164 a few weeks ago and there seems to be a few aquanaut incomings the last few weeks. Such beautiful watches, the finish, the dial, the movement... pure watch porn

I agree completely! I can't help but take it off to admire it (especially the crystal case back). Congrats on your 5164!

congrats on your Aquanut, what a great first watch from PP.
you have a lovely collection.
my guess is after trying PP for a while you might replace that sub with a dressier PP :)

My goal is a 6 watch collection so I'm hoping to hang on to the Sub if I can but I've definitely gotten bit by the PP bug. Hoping to have something on leather in the next several years (I really like the 5205R).

This is great. I love this watch!

Assuming Adler’s was the AD given you are in NOLA. How long was the wait even with knowing the Adler family?

Also fellow LSU fan here.

Outstanding pick up. This is at the very top of my wish list. Hopefully my AD will get one that he’s able to allocate to a small player like me.

Congrats OP. Glad some of these go to real collectors and not just professional athletes and such. I’ve talked with your hometown AD owner a couple times. Super nice people if that’s who you got it from.

What a lucky guy to not having to be forced to buy complications after complications to be considered to getting an aquanaut and a Daytona.
