Bulldog72 0 Posted August 19, 2014 No Pateks were on my list then I had to see this thread. That watch is beautiful DC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted August 19, 2014 Haha, you won't be disappointed Ish, it's superb, accept the strap which is fairly average, but I'm sorting that come pay day with one of these.... http://www.lpvbespokeleather.com/watch-straps/patek-philippe-nautilus/classic/godiva-brown-dark It's gonna be epic! DC You sir, are very welcome #boatshoes&hoes Indeed, thanks for the heads up on these guys, reasonably priced too considering they are gen Aligator leather, though I'd preferably gen croc, I'll see how funds pan out but the availability of gen Patek or OEM straps is limited so might not have that option!

Ishmael 92 Posted August 19, 2014 Hey DC, couple quick questions. You said you got yours from PC; I just looked at Josh's sale page and noticed that the DWO on the page itself is white-on-black, but the QC pics he has available are the opposite, which matches the one you got. Toro (from whom I'm getting mine) also has the white-on-black DWO. To your knowledge, are there two different versions of this watch? Also, would you expect the dial, no matter which version I get (if there are indeed two), to have the same characteristic color fade from light to dark going to the edges? Dealer page pics really suck when trying to suss out details like that, so I thought I'd ask the Patek King. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrtsumoto80 0 Posted August 19, 2014 Exactly what ive been looking for? Now, the cons please? I mean besides the bracelet? how about functions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ishmael 92 Posted August 19, 2014 Exactly what ive been looking for? Now, the cons please? I mean besides the bracelet? how about functions? Main chrono seconds hand works, but the sub-dial minute/hour hands are fixed. See the posts above this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The white DW with black font as one DC is sporting is correct to the gen. It seem the TD's are displaying perhaps a prototype model with incorrect DW configuration?

I just emailed Toro the same question so we'll see what he says. Often have I ordered a watch with one or two details that didn't match up, but end up getting whatever the cartels have produced, so I'd imagine what I get from Toro will match what DC got from Josh. Checking just to make sure of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dealer page pics really suck when trying to suss out details like that, so I thought I'd ask the Patek King. Ok, first up the DWO, the QC pics on Perfect Clones website match my watch because they are actually my QC pics, seems I was the first person to order one so they used them on their site. I noticed the difference from website but I didn't mention it because black numbers on white background is what the gen has, so I preferred it. I guess there must be two different rep DWOs and maybe it's pot luck which you get?! When it comes to the gen it's always black numbers on white background ACCEPT the black dial steel on bracelet version which is white on black!! Secondly the dial, unfortunately in person the colour fade is not noticeable, though it shows up in photos. I think I actually went for the wrong one, I went for brown dial because the gen is quoted at being brown, but in reality the gen is far closer to a black colour so I wish I'd gone for that!! Neither brown or black dial reps are light enough in colour though! So, my advice is to go for the black dial on brown leather to get closer to gen, but the brown dial is very pleasant, I'm just anal!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ishmael 92 Posted August 19, 2014 Here's the gen: That doesn't look too far off from yours mate, at least in the pics. Even if the dial fade is underwhelming, there is something magical about rose gold and brown, especially with a brown croc strap (for example, the AP Don Ramon I have wet dreams about every night).

Mr Happy 1 Posted August 19, 2014 Another gen pic - aside from the dial fade it looks pretty good to me DC.... It's the combination I was hoping would be repped - stunning mate - wear it well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nev848 0 Posted September 22, 2014 PP's have never interested me just not keen on the 1970's TV look of them. But saying that this one looks very classy especially when suited and booted. Could be tempted by this one myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daddyof2 0 Posted October 12, 2014 This is the only Patek that the sales assistant had to practically prize from my wrist in the AD. It is truly breathtaking to see, let alone try on but if this rep is half as impressive, at 1% if the price, I can live with that, at least until I can afford the gen. Post some shots when you get your new strap though please..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
