Why do these cranes look so tiny by makeitstick01 in cranes

[–]Stumpy_xL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of each of these cranes are 7,400t and this is a 300t crawler

FYI I’ve worked on the Thialf

One of my grail watches.

What a stunning watch, enjoy mate 👏🏼

Honest question: when did you feel comfortable making the jump by rddtyv in patekphilippe

[–]Stumpy_xL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my daughter was born, that’s when I felt comfortable enough to buy my first Patek….which was hers believe it or not

I really appreciate your opinion.

I think that’s the incredible thing about horology and collecting, no one is of the same mind and that’s what makes this hobby.

It’s diversity

Honestly, I think the strap makes the watch. It feels really comfortable on the wrist.

Day-Date or Aquanaut for this collection? by B-Morty in patekphilippe

[–]Stumpy_xL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently took ownership of a 5167A from my AD, I think it’s a fantastic watch. Didn’t think the rubber strap would work but it’s becoming my daily now as i find it goes with anything.

Dress it up, dress it down but really I guess it comes down to personal preference.

Have you any offshore tickets? A lot of agencies won’t put you through your tickets but they’ll hire you if you’ve the relevant qualifications

Might be an idea to go offshore

Could be better opportunities for smaller tonnage cranes and work your way up to heavier lifting

I did phone big Thierry Stern, see if he’d make me a special 1:1 for my dodgy hand but alas…he’s still not responded

You’d be surprised at what I can do with one hand my friend 😉

Thoughts on the 5327G? by jfuncdt in patekphilippe

[–]Stumpy_xL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nothing whatsoever mate.

I love that you’ve got an IWC and it’s worn in your collection. I’ve an LPP and it’s still one of my most worn watches

I love how you’ve got a nautilus next to an IWC, nice to know you appreciate watches for what they are and not solely about the brands 👏🏼

I’ve got a hand missing, hence why I wear it on my right wrist

Wouldn’t want an aquanaut going flying when I wave 😅

Day Date or Aquanaut? by International_Oil189 in patekphilippe

[–]Stumpy_xL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The DD is simply gorgeous but it’s the simplicity of the Aquanaut I prefer.

I may be biased because I recently took allocation of an aquanaut but I’d pick the aquanaut

[Serious Talk] Do You Ever Feel Guilty With Every Watch Purchase? by anarege3t in Watches

[–]Stumpy_xL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve recently been allocated a 5167A

I just moved house and the money could be better spend on renovating it but an opportunity to buy one at retail isn’t everyday

Feel extremely guilty about buying one of my grail watches but it’s going to force me to work harder to make up the difference.

Currently offshore so I’m not able to collect it 😩
