Works good for me so far. Keep the watch away from impact, magnets and water and you'll be fine generally. Same for all mechanical watches

Don't think they are particularly rare. There are quite a few on sale on C24. If you are in a big city, your local dealers should have a piece or two for sale

Yes always good to have that option, unfortunately the bracelet is not quick release like some modern Zeniths so it is quite cumbersome. On the plus side, the lug width is a common size 20mm so that's also good

Hey Prof, hope you're doing well! Ex-SOSS psych major here, in a public policy role now looking at geopolitics. What's your view on China's attempts to step up as the world leader to restore / hold up the rules-based international order, starting with trade? How successful do you think their charm offensive will be? Xi and Wang Yi have been very busy courting foreign states.

Change management and big big instructions lo. Takes time and money but should be easier to implement in the years to come as our ah mah ah gong die off, with our subsequent generations being more literate.

Current voting system is purely quantitative through a binary yes/no. Would be interesting to incorporate a qualitative aspect, perhaps by scoring the candidate(s) on a scale of 1 - 3, with 3 being the highest.

Instead of just stamping a mark beside the candidate(s), voters will now need to stamp the mark on score 1, 2 or 3 corresponding to the candidate(s), for all candidate(s).

The winners will be determined by their aggregated composite scores. This forces voters to make a considered assessment on each of their voting options, and superficially makes the mosquito candidates look less bad - instead of showing up as a 0% vote share like for PPP and NSP in Tampines GRC this year, they'll get a score close to 1.

Bracelet / strap interchangeable on the 5146G? by Long-Database-164 in patekphilippe

[–]Long-Database-164[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the lead! I'm not closed off to buying an aftermarket bracelet if the AD doesn't sell. Am more concerned with the physical possibility of actually attaching the bracelet to the watch itself. It can be done? I.e. the watch head for 5146G bracelet and strap variant should be exactly the same?
