WatchaholicMallorca 2 Posted March 8, 2016 The review to rule them all... I don't talk about my missus with half as much passion as you do Pateks! Brilliant as always Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted March 8, 2016 wow what a review and glad I took the time to read it in full (bit of a pictures kinda guy)the dial is stunning for a rep but what a shame with the sub dials do they look whiter too ? The dial and subdials are all the same silver colour, but the different finishes mean the colour looks different under different lights, sometimes the subdials look lighter than the dial, sometimes they look darker, sometimes it all looks the same colour! It's a very dynamic dial, which I like! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakethemouse 0 Posted March 8, 2016 What a great write up. Thanks for giving your time and effort. You can tell the passion you have with Pateks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakurai 1 Posted March 8, 2016 Fantastic review, very well executed - thanks for your strong engagement and for sharing, hugely appreciated. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks for the kind words chaps (and any chapettes). I often wonder if my passion might become a bit irritating to others after a while, a bit like "Yeah we get it, you like Pateks, jeez" haha! Glad that, for the time being at least, that doesn't seem to be the case!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazzla 23 Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks for the kind words chaps (and any chapettes).

Glad that, for the time being at least, that doesn't seem to be the case!! DC Not at all Dave, your passion is invigorating. I'm not 'into' Pateks per se, but I admire anyone that has a particular passion for anything and shows such an enthusiasm and expertise in their chosen subject, whether that be watches or anything else. Not everyone shares my passion for Seikos, but I get that. Each to his own. Excellent review. Wear in good health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC Definitely not mate we wouldn't be here if we weren't all obsessed with watches and it's great to have people who are passionate about different brands and are willing to share their knowledge.

cufflink 0 Posted March 9, 2016 Is this the 5070 or 5170? Some dealer got it stated as 5170 so I got a bit confused here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chase0224 0 Posted March 9, 2016 ^5070 Nice review, mine says hello! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted March 9, 2016 Is this the 5070 or 5170? Some dealer got it stated as 5170 so I got a bit confused here. It's a 5070 but I think all the dealers have it listed as 5170, the 5170 is completely different though so just ignore what they're calling it DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted March 9, 2016 Hahaha, sorry Foxy, you won't regret it though... You realise this means you now need to order a strap for it, right? DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxindebox 465 Posted March 10, 2016 Hahaha, sorry Foxy, you won't regret it though... You realise this means you now need to order a strap for it, right? DC I can't quite stretch to a Camille Fournet so I am having a chat with one of the Vietnam sellers on eBay. I've had a few from this guy and they have been really nice. In fact I had one on the JLC that I recently sold to Metalmickey and he seemed quite impressed too. I am trying to get a black gator with grey stitching as per the Gen pictures I have seen, so I would be interested to know the sizing of your strap (even though i have a 7 1/2" wrist) to get some idea on sizing if you don't mind?

Mrzestone 0 Posted March 14, 2016 Hey DC awesome review! The Watch looks amazing, where did you order it from??? I am a huge Patek lover but can't seem to find this one :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted March 14, 2016 I ordered from WatchFinder, a TD here, I'm pretty sure it's on his website but if not just send one of my pictures to him (member Fat Panda here) and he'll sort you out! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

submarinerboy 0 Posted March 16, 2016 DC, I'd like to know whether wearing it in person on the wrist, are the sub-dial spacings an obvious and glaring tell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
