Borrowed a Patek 5146J for the night

Recommended Posts

At 40K or so I was kind of pleased to return it. Beautiful watch. 39mm is a tad small and the AR coating is not great. Heavier than a similar rep due to the solid gold case. But otherwise it really makes you appreciate how good our reps are these days. Now if I was to open it up and look at the PP movement - well that is another thing entirely.

I was in Manhattan mate - should have brought it to you :lol:

 

Think if I am going to spend that much it might be on a Lange and Sohne - I need a bigger watch than this - but if he gives it to me....well.......

Agreed on the Lange. Plus their movements are incredibly distinctive and beautiful.

You must have a good friend to let you have it overnight. If it was an AD, there'd be a security guard going home with you :P

I hate myself for not being impressed by the watch.

Not one of my favourites either I have to say, always thought the dial was a bit off balance!

Yeah. I like it and the movement, but I prefer larger watch dials where those subdials would not look so out of proportion I guess. I am not telling my friend that though....(Archie Luxury indeed :lol:).
