Newest addition.....
Picked-up the RG Unitimer this afternoon, to add to my Breitling collection..... I'm really liking this watch, though it is a little large at 46mm, it wears nicely.
I'm able to correct 5712 accuracy nightly...
I just bought a 5712/1A and I have noticed something interesting. When I wear the watch, it is accurate within .5 seconds over a 12+ hour span (well within tolerance). However, when I set it down for the night, it loses or gains time based on the direction I lay the watch down beyond tolerance. For instance:Crown up: loses approx. 2 seconds per 10 hours.Crown down: gains approx. 2 seconds per 10 hours.Crown right: loses approx. 2 seconds per 10 hours.Crown left: loses approx. 1 second per 10 hours.Face up: gains approx. 1.5 seconds per 10 hours.Face Down: gains approx. 1.5 seconds per 10 hours.At first I was a bit annoyed that I could have the watch perfectly accurate to the second throughout the day, but when I woke up in the morning, it would lose or gain about 2 seconds (which is more than double the stated tolerance of +2/-3). But now, I find it somewhat useful in that I simply check the exact time when I take the watch off at night, and if it is fast, I place it crown down, and if
New 5712r and already a scratch
Well, I just received my 5712r on 12/24 and I already have the first scratch! Oh well, part of ownership I guess. George did send a Patek Collection Book with it! Makes you appreciate ceramic bezels though.
Perfect Patek?
I'm thinking about watch #2. Tend towards the sportier ones. 5712 is my current favorite Nautilus but I can't handle the day on face and not in a window. From a technical perspective is it hard for a manufacturer to put the date in a window? What is your perfect Patek? For me 5712 hits:Pros:Micro rotor with saphire backAmazing blue dialMoon complicationPower reserve complicationCons:Day on face of dial (not is a window)Small second hand (prefer centered second hand)So the closest thing to perfection for me is the 5960. It would be a stretch for me financially and for my comfort zone of actually wearing it. So sub $30K or $35K what is the best current Patek?
PP 5164 Comfort, et al.
Mates - I'm seriously considering the 5164 and read many conflicting posts on these topics. Specifically referencing the movement noise, is there anything else detracting about this piece ? I also swim occasionally and it would be nice with this on but I've read about the pushers as a deterrent. I'm sure they are sealed. Finally, how bulky is the piece ? I've owned a 5167 which was thinner and wondering if the size of the 5164 on rubber becomes off centered due to its heft or if it sits as comfortably and flat as my 5167 did. Thanks again for all comments !
