Hey everybody!!

texex91 (Paul) just mentioned he was considering getting a new Patek.

Now trying to be helpful, I mentioned the following:

From talking with you I think the 5890 would be a nice watch for you. It has a bit more heft, and the case is thicker than the 5711/1A. The bullseye is pretty sweet too.

But if your feeling real froggy may I entice you with a 5960P? If I remember correctly you can get that in either a grey or blue dial.

However since I am only a rookie, I probably missed a few good ideas. Please be so kind to help Paul with his new hunt.

Please feel free to post some pictures whenever possible.

Paul could use our help, I'm pleading with you.

Cheers,

Dan

A Patek enthusiast needs our help!? We must oblige!

The 5980 is indeed a beautiful watch but I would prefer the 5960 myself, it does come with two different dials if you want to have the platinum version.

Does it have to be a chronograph?

texex91 · 11 May 2012, 12:15 PM

STOP IT DAN

One PP, one AP (and another inbound) are enough for two weeks

But....if you are Enabling, I am always willing to listen

Thanks Super Carl, things were getting a bit hairy and scary for awhile there.

Lets. let this soak in for about 10 minutes, however we may need to present the subject with more watches so he does not stray.

texex91 · 11 May 2012, 12:20 PM

Maybe this 6102P because it's a 44mm

FYI--Carl and Dan you have been removed from my Christmas card list

There have been a few like him before he showed up, and there will always be more just like him in the future.

With a forum this large there will always be a few.

Well if that's the case, I'll put the 6102P back on the list

Ask and you shall receive, I'll assume that our friend Paul wants a white gold or platinum model (if yellow and rose gold are allowed, you will never be able to make me stop).

Perhaps an annual calendar with a moonphase would be interesting...

No need for a calendar? That's alright...

Well I have to admit I like the 5396G-011, but at 38mm, too small.

And yes, of course YG or plat...nothing else would do

Nice efforts thus far, but no bites. I will take another look at PP site and report back with anything interesting.

May just end up with another AP...3 in 2 weeks is better than 2.

dddrees · 11 May 2012, 12:35 PM

I do like the Platinum Patek, the idea of the diamond between me and the watch, just kills me.

However no matter the metal the dial is my main focus.

The chronograph is my favorite, but they do so many complications so well.

Hold on, did you make a mistake in WG or did you really mean YG?

As for the size, what about those?

Psst! Dan! I think we're getting somewhere with this young Padawan...

5208 VERY nice!

Here's what we should do, the three of us get a group buy on one that we decide...buy three, in order to get the best discount

Sure Paul, you pay for the watches, Carl pays the taxes, and I'll be responsible for finding the watches.

By the way finding some of these watches may not be such an easy task.

Indeed, you'll probably have to aim at a watch in the complications collection (or a model that doesn't require an application), especially if it's going to be your first or second Patek.

Well I think the two of us can come to a consensus on one...look we both chose the 5167, can't be that hard

Your right, I think we can put our heads together and figure something out.

How do you feel about Patek Chronographs?
