Should I have it regulated or not?
As most of you will know,through my previous thread, thanks to Brian and his relationship with his AD, I was able to buy a 5167A.Whenever I buy a watch, I normally check the daily accuracy rate to check that it falls within the Brands (not necessary Patek Philippe) specification. If it does then I tend to forget it.The 5167A is no exception, and i set it 5 days ago. To date it has lost 28 seconds, which is about 5.4 seconds per day.Now, I have had the pleasure of owning a number of Patek watches and so I know that this is not the norm.In the Old un days, on seeing a thread like this, you would advise the owner of their new (not pre owned) watch to give it a couple of weeks for the movement to bed in as well as allowing it to become accustomed to how you wear it.Is that still the case?Or should I get it regulated?Just to clarify I am not seeking perfection, we all recognise and appreciate that these are mechanical movements and some tolerance has to be allowed.But I would like it to be

5127j vs 5227j size
Hello - A quick question, will a 5227 calatrava deployant clasp fit on a 5127 watch strap? Thanks!

My Patek Philippe Journey
When I developed an interest in watches in 1985, it was clear Patek Philippe was considered the finest of the mass-production watch manufacturers. Naturally I aspired to own one some day, but began my hobby primarily collecting old Hamilton wristwatches.In October 1993, I had a windfall, winning $5,000 in a contest held by my employer. I asked my watchmaker if he knew of any Patek Philippe wristwatches for sale, and he put me in touch with someone I had previously met. Knowing his love for a Waterman filigree fountain pen I owned, I brought the seller the pen and cash. This was my first Patek, a 35mm Calatrava reference 2508 from 1955.I owned the watch for 20 years, until I finally was able to admit it no longer interested me. It was traded toward another Patek below.My next Pateks came as a pair. An acquaintance had a a reference 2591 on a gold bracelet listed for sale. I had many sport watches to trade (Omega/vintage Le Coultre/IWC chronographs) and he liked to trade. We arranged to

Nautilus 5711 question
Hey all,So I've got my 5711/1A ready to be sized, and I'm a little nervous. If I size the watch at the AD Saturday and walk out the door with it on my wrist, it's mine--no more option to back out. The reason I'm a little nervous is I've tried several times to get comfortable with Rolex SS (oyster) bracelets but for some reason I never can. I hate the way they feel, and always end up putting on straps instead. It seems that the oysters are always either too tight or too loose. So one of the many reasons I chose the nautilus is I've heard they are extremely comfortable--can anyone assure me this bracelet will feel way more comfortable than an oyster, or am I destined to be a strap guy and just setting myself up for failure? Patek doesn't have a strap option for the 5711/1A right?Thanks! Saturday is final decision day so thanks to all for the help!

47mm WITH date
Alright, well a month or so back I babbled about getting a PAM, now sitting nicely on my wrist is the 372 (love it). However, the first thing I noticed was the lack of a date. I didn't think it would be an issue, but I find that I am looking at it quite often for the date (apparently I use that function often in my other references). It doesn't diminish the watch for me, but does let me yearn for one with a date function. Issue being: no 47mm w/date (at least none I found).So how many of you all would want a date function in a 47mm? If it came out, i'd be first in line...but who would be second?
