why am I so weak !!

[michael gould]

I sold my Patek Calatrava a few months ago because it wasn't getting any wrist time. The big mistake was, going to a Boodles doo where I fell in love with the Patek World Time.

I completed the deal on this one yesterday and can't wait to get it .......5110 World Time in rose gold

Gouldy certainly didn't!

Great, great watch, love it xx

Sorry, but the stubby hands remind me of Alan Sugar's short fat fingers

I'm weak too, dropped a couple of £k at Sotheby's yesterday and having buyers remorse before the invoice even arrives...

[PJ S]

Meh……any other name on that and it'd be laughed off the thread.
At least you didn't go for the stupid version with the enamel playdoh map and "unique" looking hour hand!

Still, enjoy and hopefully you'll wear this one more often than the previous PP.

I've fixed the dodgy links for you. I'll accept the Vacheron Power Reserve in payment..............

Not my 'style', MG, but it's certainly a real piece of quality you have there!

Will be interested to see a wrist shot!

Wear in good health and all that

I think its a bit "old man" for me to appreciate. Quite an ugly watch to me, but what do I know.

Oh, it is howlingly awful, indeed. But, look at this for the epitome of a name carrying piece of sexcrement you'd expect from Elizabeth Duke! http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?298125-the-i...

As a simpleton, I like my watches to be simple!

But good for you, enjoy!

'completed the deal' = bought?

i'm off to complete the deal on a cup of coffee.

Are you planning on negotiating the price of your coffee, considering trading in an older cup of coffee you're not really drinking anymore and then having it sent from continental Europe with full insurance?

This is lovely. But far too expensive for the likes of me - even given your generosity to knock £000s of the true value.

Not for me, even if I grow up that one would not be on my list.

Once again 37mm bordering on 'dainty' PP knew this so they made the newer model bigger.

No seconds finger, and from what I can see no date, but you can guestimate the time in Outer Mongolia, which is important novel.

But to the trained eye, like Michaels, this watch is the watch to have, so enjoy it and wear it with pride.

On a plus point, I love the small offset rotor, I would definitely prefer to wear this watch back to front.

Don't disagree with what you say.......it is a novelty complication but after having one on my wrist a few weeks ago it just looked fantastic.....I like smaller watches......watch size is simply a fashion a bit like jacket lapels or tie widths.......not really bothered about the second hand or the date, I can use my IPhone for that.....and although I'm am a very vulgar person, I like my watches to be subtle and not be too obvious . There is something completely decadent and outrages about wearing a 20 or 30k watch on your wrist.......or if your completely mad the enameled faced 5131 version of mine which are changing hands ( or wrists) for 85k ! Same movement as mine ...... Completely bonkers......should get my hands on it before or on my birthday next Wednesday

I agree, there is something very interesting about the micro-rotors and they also let you see more of the movement! L.U.Chopard also do a very nice micro-rotor system.

[michael gould]

it's one of the reasons that Vacheron looks so good at the back ....no rotor so you can see the movement
