I've actually ordered the 5146g-010 which is the slate grey model rather then the cream face. I just don't have a picture of me wearing that style.

Love pateks, they're works of art really. Probably the most prestigious watches.

Since we now have a Patek and an AP, in order, I don't want to be the "trinity" combo breaker, so I will slide my VC for today in here before someone breaks it up.

I've got an Omega too. And numerous other fashion watches that don't merit mention.

Mr Pete · 01-16-2016, 02:29 PM

Some sweet wrist action going on here gentlemen!

I just got rid of a Super Avenger II (somewhat regret buying this now that's it's gone). Torn between a SS Daytona White dial, Vacheron Overseas Dual Time (dial seems pretty busy though), or a Vacheron Overseas Chrono...

Winn.Nguyen · 01-17-2016, 03:58 AM

Fell in love with the black and blue.

My night and day GMT. BLNR.

Man, that looks 1000x better than the pictures I've seen.

DanG · 01-17-2016, 09:12 PM

I have a blue face yatch master. Goes with my blue M235i.

I am at SIHH right now. If you are considering the Overseas Chrono, you may want to wait. The new ones are being presented. A very different looks - in house movements, sapphire backs... Lovely. Of course, they will be more, but they should give you negotiating room should you still want the 2nd generation OS.

Of course, if you want a Chrono, there is always... This. The Cornes de Vaches. Yeah... I know.

(Hmmm... Won't let me post more than one image from my iPad. Spam coming... Sorry.)

And again in silvered dial. Note that it does not have guillochage, like the current dual time.

Last but not least... Baby got back.

Also: straps are changeable - comes with all three (bracelet, rubber, and leather)
There is also a QP and an ultra thin with the 1120 movement. They did good.

finaloption · 01-18-2016, 10:43 AM

love that rubber strap + silver dial combo.. i'm digging the smooth dial

and the finishing is really where the price skyrockets.. lower in price due to no guilloche?

im sure the movement is still beautifully finished

Too many watch ballers here

Been following all of the updates on hodinkee and ablogtowatch, really liking the new pieces from VC and ALS, dislike the new AP divers however

I wish. Due to in house movement, I'm told to expect about a 50% increase over previous generation. Although, it was not the company that told me, but a dealer. The movement is truly amazing, in comparison.

Same. The world has enough ROs. Need to figure out how to make a good Jules Audemar. We get it, the RO sells....

And yeah, the ALS were amazing. Don't follow them enough to know which are new, but the Zeitwerks I saw there were cool - and I am usually pretty traditional in my watch tastes. Our hotel is right next to the Vacheron boutique (and that if FP Journe.) Pretty sure that was on purpose. Obviously, big the Geneva boutique, it has everything - even many many LEs. My wallet is crying.
