With 12 Hours to Spare, My Last Incoming of 2014 and First Patek Philippe
Who says education isn't a little expensive. I've been on a journey from Rolex in the 80's then on to Tag Heur, Breitling, and Rolex. If I could change anything it would be to save and go with my grail. I need to give Ken all the credit for making this happen. My wife did not understand my Rolex problem let alone Patek Philippe. Ken had been looking for a 5970 for some time and probably got tired of my phone calls asking his opinion on this one and that one (Patek). He said to sit tight. Then the last AD visit while in Cincinnati, my wife wanted to go with me. We had two sales associates who did a fair job of educating my wife. While very interested in several, I called Ken again to ask his opinion and before I called I knew what he would say. But Ken did what I nor any sales associates could do, he convinced my wife of the merits of the 5070. Then last Friday, the call came in that Ken had found the 5070 he was searching for. I am torn between wearing it or looking at the movement! Without Ken, this would not be on my wrist now! Thank you!!!!

Huge congrats! Like yourself I bugged Ken more than he probably would have liked and I was really flip flopping between a 5070 or 5960. In the end I decided on the 5960 and so happy for you in picking up the 5070R! I've tried one on and it's spectacular. Enjoy in good health and hope I can add one down the road 😀
