Interesting. A job only for the professionals.

Nice, I have the same. Great watch for £7

Yours looks like its crushing a slab of meat and your hand is about to go purple and drop off!

Yeh, probably the reason it costs in the region of £800 for a service!

(you more or less get a new watch)

all going well I will be picking up a Rolex Submariner 114060 non date, on Thursday,

its just parting with the £5K, that is causing me to have butterflys.

My dad's. White gold and very slim. He thinks all these modern watches are too big. Maybe he has a point.

 

[Guest2]

Very nice. Not too sure on the strap

Wont even bother to ask price - i imagine more than i earn...in 2 years

I've never asked but it wasn't new. The strap is some kind of super flexible white gold "solid" strap.

Can you afford it ?

 

[randomshenans]

That Patek is ace. I wouldn't wear the strap, but it's totally the time.

Soundood, I'd love a sub. More I think about it, the more I want one haha it's on the list.

If you can afford it then why not. Just take a deep breath before you enter your pin and then enjoy for the rest of your life.

*Works out what I could get selling a couple*

Still short.

Sell kids?

white gold "solid" strap.

sounds cheap

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

I just had a look around for that Patek Phillipe and it was not as expensive as I first though!

 

[mrk]

You see the name and think ££FFFFUUUUu but depends on the model like many other brands Like the £2k Seiko, you'd look at it and think "okay a Seiko, I can probably get that" and then see the price...

 

[Cosimo]

sounds cheap

and looks a bit....

 

[Skidder]

That patek is very handsome but I couldn't wear the bracelet without being self concious. A colleague of mine has a yellow gold calatrava of about the same period and on black leather it does look very good. With Patek's basic time only or date complications I really struggle to see how the price is anything more than brand, when you compare to other in-house high end makers like JLC.

 

[Guest2]

question about braclet links on all watches - Should there be equal links each side of the face or more on the back of the wrist?

I have 5.5 links on the back side of my wrist but only 4 on the front

 

[Skidder]

Ideally the clasp should end up centred on the back of your wrist, so whatever works for that. Typically equal but you may need a half link or an extra link one side to get it right size and therefore slightly off. That said some clasp shapes are not symmetrical and may be more comfortable not centred.
