GenTLe 1,501 Posted September 24, 2015 Eheh was waiting for them. I would add something different like a Vacheron or a Nomos and, why not, this one: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantomtech 4 Posted September 24, 2015 Nice collection! Both my 5980 work flawlessly so the issue can't be with all of them.. I noticed your rg 5980 had the Patek Phillipe name higher up on the dial than the steel one, on mine they are both positioned the same. Are they different makers?

That's interesting, I don't know, can I see pics of your 5980s?! I'd be interested to know if they have updated the blue dial version with a better blue colour lol!!

_DC_ 218 Posted September 24, 2015 Will shortly be adding a Pisa Datograph to the collection, once Tim finds one with all it's screws in place and no marks on the dial!!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantomtech 4 Posted September 25, 2015 I did some research into the Patek placement on the dial, I found a photo of an older 5980 I owned that had movement issues and that had the incorrect higher placement, see here: I since then had ordered a replacement and the newer one from the same factory had the lower correct placement so it seems the factory fixed this flaw, see here my new 5980r on Jacob strap: And lastly, here is my blue dial with the correct dial placement as well: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was your second 5980r a different dial colour?! It looks less brown, I much prefer it!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longvu88 0 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) what do you think when compare the 5107 and the 5227? Edited October 9, 2015 by longvu88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gentefina 0 Posted October 23, 2015 I've only just joined this forum and spotted this thread. Im quickly learning that DC is the Patek man, and I have to say, this is a fine collection! Less is more and this is a well thought out and refined collection. Now maybe just a Vacheron Constantin to complete the Holy Trinity representation?!

_DC_ 218 Posted October 23, 2015 what do you think when compare the 5107 and the 5227? They're very different watches despite their similarities, the 5107 has a very retro feel about it, with the chunky flat bezel and of course those crown guards, whereas the 5227 is very modern! Both superb watches in their own right, if pushed to pick just one I'd probably pick the 5107 because I do love the crown guards, but the 5227 rep has sentimental value so will never sell either of them, ever!
