_DC_ 218 Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks guys, once I get a decent strap on the 5970 it'll be really special! Any ideas where I can pick up an 18mm Patek deployant (the one with the calatrava cross in the circle)?! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanArgon 1 Posted November 16, 2014 Can't wait DC - awaiting yr review - meanwhile are the dates centered n does the moon phase work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jagsman 20 Posted November 16, 2014 Loving the 5107. More pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted November 16, 2014 Can't wait DC - awaiting yr review - meanwhile are the dates centered n does the moon phase work? Dates are perfectly centred so far, and the moonphase is the usual day/night indicator rather than an actual moonphase but that would be a lot to ask!! But this is the first time I've seen a watch with these complications that wasn't a 21j, it's a nice looking 25j A2838! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted November 16, 2014 That's a good shout Rob, thanks! I might ask him if he can get hold of a gold Patek rotor too (like for the SW200) as it's got a silver one at present and would be nice to have all my Pateks with gold rotor... DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pseudonym 0 Posted November 16, 2014 He had 2 last we spoke. One SS, the other RG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted November 16, 2014 Yeah he's just sent me the pic of those two, they look beautiful!! I'm hoping they're for 18mm buckle end strap though..... not sure! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pseudonym 0 Posted November 16, 2014 Pretty sure they are mate!! Fingers crossed!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gmtaddict 1 Posted November 17, 2014 If that's the same as the one I found in the bay, it IS 18 mm at buckle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted November 17, 2014 Pretty sure they are mate!! Fingers crossed!! Well no word on the buckles yet, but just tried the gen croc strap from my Calatrava on the 5970 and discovered that, quite impressively, the rep factory has gone to the trouble of making the lug width the same as the gen.......... which is 21mm!! How annoying, finding 21/18 straps is a mission! Found a lovely 21/16 but then the deployant won't work!! Grrr, damn those too accurate rep factories, lol!

Pseudonym 0 Posted November 17, 2014 Looks like an excuse for another Donerix huh...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted November 17, 2014 Looks like an excuse for another Donerix huh...? Well I was hoping I wouldn't have to coz they do take a long time to receive (still waiting on the one for my Datograph) but it looks like I might have to. I got a lovely RIOS strap for the Calatrava but they don't do that size as far as I can see! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
