Favorite Gondolo in Category
A thread to discuss the merits of those Gondolo's we like the best.Remember there are no winners and there certainly are no losers.Just a discussion of which Gondolo's we like and why.Pictures are a must whenever possible, remember it's awfully hard to discuss the beauty of something without a picture.From the Patek Phillipe website:The spirit of Art DecoThe Gondolo collection, launched in 1993, is Patek Philippe's contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco style. It demonstrates Patek Philippe's commitment to form watches which figure proudly in the company's legacy.The name of the collection was derived from the Chronometro Gondolo watches that were manufactured by Patek Philippe for the renowned Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau between 1902 and 1930. There are 4 models in this category, who would like to start?

Lets vote! Pam 372 or Pam 127
since there is the thread for pam 372 vs pam 390, and i don't think that is the right compare. since one is 47mm and another one is 44mm........ So i would love to make this thread to see how ppl like these big cases 47mm and beautiful pam's in the same class??? and there are someone who own both of them as well

Pro's/Cons of WG vs YG vs EG Daytonas.....
..........I'm asking this b/c I'm now thinking more and more about getting the Daytona over the Gold YM, but still haven't seen the former in person. Among the Daytona models, I thought for sure the WG version was the way to go b/c the silver dial is so striking against the black ceramic bezel and strap, and the white gold is obviously more subtle and less attention grabbing than either YG or EG.Having said that, my one concern with the silver dial on the WG version is dial legibility. Since the YG and EG have a few options with either YG dial/black dial or EG/black dial combos, for those who have various dial combos in YG or EG, can you share your pics and experiences with dial legibility? And for the record, my eyes aren't failing me....lol. I'm just coming from having a LV sub and a PAM 1312, both of which are super easy to read at a glance, and which I love about the watches, and which got me to love the YM (along with its matte black bezel). And for those with the WG Daytona
