_DC_ 218 Posted November 25, 2015 Ordered this beauty from the ever reliable WatchFinder. A Patek 5170 black dial. I deviated from my usual rule of only going for gen colour configurations on this one. Ok, the 5170 has just been released in black dial, but it doesn't have pulsometric scale and the subdials are larger than this. So why did I get it? Well, look at it... I like it for it's resemblance to the 5370 released at this years BaselWorld, which is gorgeous... Needless to say, with it's super slick ST19 column wheel chronograph movement, it's as good to use as it is to look at!! It also arrived in 4 days, nice job Tim!! Thoughts?!

_DC_ 218 Posted November 25, 2015 Oh, hey DC... Just noticed the 5370 also tells you when to "email"... Pretty snazzy feature mate! Haha, yeah at half past every hour it's email time!! In case you or anyone else was wondering, émail is French for enamel (it's an enamel dial)! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robin195959 2 Posted November 25, 2015 They're both gorgeous DC. It's a personal thing but I personally wouldn't try to carry off a big3 rep let alone a fantasy. But if you can, good for you and go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godfathar 1 Posted November 26, 2015 When I close my eyes, I see a French Parisian cooking up a shiny black strap.. Congrats on your arrival.. it's gorgeous. how come no Arabic numerals though? I don't think it was so hard to make! but all in all, a lovely add on to the collection. wear it in great health. still the master of Patekaholism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd be right about the Parisian strap maker, that will be happening next week I'd say, also got a deployant buckle incoming from WatchFinder for it (they forgot to send it with the watch :P) It's gonna look lovely!!
