I have initialed cuffs too...they're just someone else's initials...



I have a 5726 white dial, love it....but recently purchased a 5205G with blue dial, and just put on blue straps...the 5205G to me is far more beautiful.

Thanks for the advice... I’m no longer bespoke... too fat and my weight goes up and down too much...just j crew or something similar. Lol


So I called them since we are eating in the main dining room vs the private one the last time... they said I could wear jeans, no sneakers but I have to wear a jacket and tie optional. And my friends said I’m not allowed to speak loudly at dinner... so many rules.


My really good friend, Rolland is going to be there. He reminds me of you. Fully bespoke with initials and all that. Yeah his name is Rolland.

I’m one who doesn’t necessarily enjoy something everyone else has but then again at these price points you don’t see many. I’m of thr opinion the nautilus is not for me. Looks like an old tv.

That's a tough one.

I really liked the white 5726/1a, way before the blue dial and when everyone were trashing the reference. That was my "exit watch" (in terms of chasing hot pieces, at least).
Now that I can actually get a Nautilus, I think I'd prefer a white dial 5711 over a blue 5726, but a blue 5726 over a blue 571. However, if already going blue I'd try to get a 5712/1a.
Complicated, eh?

Does anyone know if PP will do a dial swap from blue 5726 to white?

If you’re going to La Bernardin, give my regards to Karl, he’s the valet guy!

A calendar and moon phase complications look somewhat out of place on a sports watch, imo.

Then again, very few things are rational in all this. As always, best to follow your heart.

The name Karl comes up very often. Is he the banned KarlS?

According to you Karl is a valet with a short man syndrome

On a previous thread a poster mentioned Josh is Karl and Josh got angry when you mentioned about the valet and Josh mentioned you said he had short man syndrome. If Josh is not Karl why he should get angry?

I noted on another thread a member called Aquaman had mentioned baglady was Karl.

I am so confused
