Lots of my old friends from way back are just the opposite - they have got a dozen of nice cars each but except for one they are not into watches at all...

I am always chuckling when I see yet another wrist shot taken behind the wheel... There are so much nicer places to take watch pics...

there is one thing interesting about petrol cars: you won't be able to enjoy them for much longer:::))) it is now or never

Well I had to buy the 5711R and sold the 67R to a dealer. My wife said she really likes the 5711R . What can I say? Will receive it Friday. So it’s on her head and all my pals on the forum that said “ you have to buy 5711R” and “It’s a no brainer” I will be kissing my beloved 5167 bye bye. :-) thanks for all the opinions - will post pics of course. :twit

I like RG and Rubber too but have that on my sportier AP, so I think go gold on a sumptuous bracelet from Patek, good choice!

I love the 67r but a 5711r @ retail is a no brainer for me...

Get a 5167A in steel and call it a day man. $20k much better than $36k at MSRP? :)

I think james did get rid of the 67r to make room for the 11r he received

I meant he should't re-acquire it. I am aware he sold it since I was actually in the running to buy it from him :)

I actually offered him around $3-$4k more than what the dealer paid but he is a man of his word and sold it to the dealer.

The 5167R is hopefully in a good home now :O

Fat_ninja · 18 October 2019, 03:46 AM

Y’all realiZe james doesn’t need to get rid of anything? Lol

Token74 · 18 October 2019, 05:07 AM

I’d go for it for sure!

I like the quilted leather on his Bentley door. Very classy and goes very well with his 11R.

Humble michael · 18 October 2019, 12:25 PM

Thanks for all the comments. Well it’s been since June that I sold the 67 and got the 11R. Truly a great timepiece and very happy with it . Would I do the sale and purchase again ? Absolutely,but I do miss the 67R. Don’t think I will ever buy another though , just something about going back would bother me- crazy huh? The 11R is beautiful but rather dressy so I don’t wear it a whole lot. Maybe I should be more like Ninja who wore his for about 2 mos straight , even w a droopy extra line, Ha! (Hope dealer got it fixed).
Well , I guess I will limp along saving my pennies til I get another “call “ , If & when.
Oh my sweet wife wanted to wear the R on her birthday but I got her this one a few days early- she loves it ! Thanks for all the encouragement. :-)))
