dingle 57 Posted June 17, 2015 Patek.? Hello folks. It's been awhile and I have no clue nor the time to dig to find out. Looking for complications or perhaps something in the nautilus series. Don't bother telling me about the cheapies. Must be "DC" approved if he is still around. Budget $700 Later gents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted June 17, 2015 Hey noob, you still must search...... DC is still around and just wrote a bodacious 5130 World Timer review. He would defo approve the Nautilus, worth considering is an Aquanaut as well. He also says that the Pateks with complications fall short, therefore that's another vote for the Nautilus. Good luck, and I hope you are fully settled in your new house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,760 Posted June 17, 2015 _DC_ sold all his Pateks to pay for his wife's wedding dress. Good to see you around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,133 Posted June 17, 2015 A Calatrava it must be. Even 'HE' would approve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted June 17, 2015 PS: No complications but he really liked the 5227 with officer's case back. http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=101101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dingle 57 Posted June 17, 2015 You've been absent for a while ding...where ya bin'?.............Bible camp Camps kick me out when I tell them the Christian God and Muslim God are one in the same. Thanks for the replies and good to see all. Still looking. At one time there was a supposedly great Nautilus that just needed a few tweeks and perhaps a gen gator band. Have these improved?.....available? I will take a look at the 5227. Cheers all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martijn0007 3 Posted June 17, 2015 This will work Who has one willing to sale? Ts-watch is the only dealer who can get that piece. For some weird reason no of the other dealers can get their hands on it. http://www.tswatchltd.com/15314-pa15314-patek-geneve-white-dial-ss-lt-a2836.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BentleySharp 0 Posted June 17, 2015 Hey Ding. Long time, eh? The Nautilus and the Nautilus Chrono is snap crackin. I seem to remember DC writing something about how one dial color is better than another... Vauge recolection... Best to ask him. Since you put "Patek" in the thread title, I'm sure he'll be around soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,497 Posted June 17, 2015 For the nautilus and with that budget: you can get the Miyota one (http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=102_188&product_id=1080) and then get also a cheap one with (http://www.silix-prime.so/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_271&products_id=5167) and finally swap the hands to have the perfect Miyota one. Or just search the posts of _DC_ and see there. The officer case one and the world time are gorgeous too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted June 17, 2015 Camps kick me out when I tell them the Christian God and Muslim God are one in the same. Yeah....I take the blame for that...I should never have revealed that to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyboy 5 Posted June 17, 2015 That's it! Thanks mate. Did all issues ever get resolved? From what I can remember there was a bit of chat in the shouty about this also. I think it was deemed a lost cause due to the hand issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is so, surely someone has already done this and willing to sell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have currently a Miyota one and a cheapo that I got M2M to try the swap when I'll have some time next month And NO, I'll not sell the Miyota (maybe the cheapo after the regulation) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
