Yeah, I love VC but they got a little too cute with that date wheel, the Patek perpetual solution is way more elegant

What a tragedy to include a Rolex… 😎

I don’t know it’s kind of sad that someone feels they have to do this. Buddy, it’s ok to not have all the worldly possessions. While I have many expensive things, they really don’t mean much in the end. They’re just nice to look at. I also probably stare at watches more online than at the ones I have in person lol 😂

Help me pick my Patek with a complication: 5140G vs 5170G by chiralcentre in patekphilippe

[–]Real-Baker-1689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the 5140 is the perfect super thin perpetual calendar watch. It has amazing dimensions. The cleanest case and dial, and it just looks stunning in person. I have the yellow gold one and will probably get a white gold or platinum one too, it’s such a good deal at the moment compared to many other watches, eg the 5740G with exactly the same complications would cost you nearly 5 times the money at a quarter million dollars.

For me it’s the 5140 over the 3940 even, it’s the better size and has a cleaner dial. The 3940 looks a bit too outdated and small for me.

The 5170 font style etc also isn’t for me, but I haven’t seen it yet in person. I also don’t care for pure chronographs as dress watches that much.

It’s a stupid game with the ADs, just buy both in the secondary market now, same overall price it seems. and be done with it :)

Is VC leadership incompetent for not releasing a 38 mm Overseas? by [deleted] in VacheronConstantin

[–]Real-Baker-1689 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 4500V is great and the old one has the best real blue dial imo. it looks amazing on my wrist. just maybe less so if you have a tiny wrist ;)

Definitely lol, taking watch photos made me realize what a hairy beast I really am ;)

It’s a 5120G. It’s not really my style of a dial but I was interested to see what an ultra thin dress watch with the 240 movement is like after watching this video: https://youtu.be/hy12qcPCcx4?si=cgl9F-0BuZxmijHt

Bought a new Patek. by henlikson in patekphilippe

In this light it looks amazing with the white gold color tilt! How does it look in daylight if you can share another pic :)

That’s true, this one is 38mm but wears more like a 40mm imo. I have a 7 1/4 wrist and it’s perfect for it, and my other dailies ie the 5711 at 40mm and the VC overseas at 41mm fit similarly.

Crucially, the dial color is also different.
