RussP 22,335 Posted May 6, 2014 Man you might just love Patek reps more than me!! Although I count 12 fantasy models there, but still, whatever makes you happy right?! I have the cuff links in rose gold, although I never wear gold watches so they don't get much use which is a shame!! I'll have to contact Mary for a pair of those steel ones, they're swish!! DC I can't confirm which are fantasy as these have been acquired over a considerable period of time. The original owner has indisputable knowledge on all issues horological. But, like you said 'whatever makes me happy '. I'm quietly pleased with my acquisitions thus far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RussP 22,335 Posted May 7, 2014 Mebbe I should get paid a small commission for ALL the cufflink referrals that my post has generated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cus+0m 0 Posted May 7, 2014 nice! gotta question, the leather strap on the Nautilus, is it a rep strap or smth else like GEN or by strap maker.? looks much thicker&nicer then a rep strap. also, swapping between bracelet&leather on e Nautilus, is it tough? or is it 2 separate watches lastly, loving that grey dialled Nautilus, am on a mission to get one myself. hopefully i can!

With the exception of the blue faced and aqua faced Nautilus(es), I modified 2 Bob straps to fit the silver and black faced watches. As it was my first attempt at doing so, I can't claim it was a fabulous job, but unless one looks real close, you can't really see my clumsy attempt. Prior to resorting to butchering the Bob straps, I contacted many TD's to obtain replacement bands, but none could be of any real assistance, so I just went ahead and made my own. PS: What grey dialled Nautilus are you referring to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cus+0m 0 Posted May 8, 2014 ahhh, thanks russ.. sorry, must've been the light that made it look black/grey.. the blue is known to do that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mykielee52 0 Posted May 8, 2014 The 7th from the bottom the rectangular one please tell me how to get and the model is it a Gondla ? Did you get this from watchinternational ?? And does anyone know where to get Cartier tank or panthre thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted May 8, 2014 And does anyone know where to get Cartier tank or panthre thanx Got both a quartz and ETA Cartier Tank from WI, other TDs should be able to get them as well. Consider the quartz, it's cheaper and some Tanks are quartz. For Panthère, ask same TDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,335 Posted May 8, 2014 The 7th from the bottom the rectangular one please tell me how to get and the model is it a Gondla ? Did you get this from watchinternational ?? And does anyone know where to get Cartier tank or panthre thanx Yes, a Gondolo it is. Acquired by the previous owner some years earlier. There are newer versions available on some of our current TD's sites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twofake 0 Posted May 8, 2014 Hi Russ, Amazing collection. I may have missed te answer somewhere but are some gens?... I could have asked are some reps lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,335 Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks guys. My eclectic collection (all reps by the way) appears to have polarised opinion amongst the cognosenti on this site Whilst I can understand that tastes will vary, I remain of the opinion that if you can't say something positive, it is sometimes better to say nothing at all. To the posters (on the other thread as well) who've commented positively, I say 'Thanks'. To the ones that have refrained from commenting, I say 'Thanks' too. And to the rest of you.........
