Hornback Question
Anyone have the measurements of standard Hornback as well as the XL for the now discontinued 42 ROO's?

Legibility of 5140p
As I continue my quest for my first Patek, I have to say I'm leaning towards a watch with a gray slate sunburst dial. We've already discussed the 5146g vs the 5146p (both of which I adore), but now the 5140p has gained my attention (although I don't know if I can afford it??). The 37mm case, as well as the flatter 9mm height, would fit my thinner wrist more appropriately; but my concern is the the hour and minute hand. As opposed to the 5146, they are bare metal, rather than coated with luminescence, which to me, makes them more difficult to read over this complicated dial. And if you look at all the images of the 5140p on the internet, the hands are strategically placed at 10:10, to avoid covering the complications. I would welcome any comments on the legibility of the 5140p and also welcome any pics of this watch with the hands covering any of the complications. Thanks again for your help. By the way....does anyone know of an AD where I can actually try on the various watches

Where in NYC has the largest assortment of Pateks to view and buy?

Issue with 176...
I bought a used K series 176 a few years ago. I had it serviced in 2015. Now it won't fully wind. After about 30 or so turns of the crown it slips, I can hear it, and keeps winding, never topping out. I took it back to the AD and they said something about the barrel, which makes sense, and it will cost $100 + to fix.Is this to be expected after only a couple of years? The bbl had been replaced at the service. And it's not even close to a daily wearer. I like it and want to keep it, but I hope it doesn't become a service headache. Besides, I have nice strap collection.

My First Rolex (114060)
So I picked up a brand new 114060 this past Monday from a local AD. I'm stoked I finally have one as I've been saving a bit for it. Here are a few iPhone shots. IMG_5577.JPGIMG_5579.JPGIMG_5580.JPGSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
