Help with first Patek
I'm in the process of deciding which model I should purchase as my first PP so thought I'd ask you all some questions. My current collection is very small as I didn't buy my second nice watch (Omega GSOTM) and get hooked until last year. I have a Rolex 16610 Sub, Omega GSOTM, and a Rolex 5330 (which was a mistake. It's too small but pretty). My wrist is 7-1/3 to just shy of 7.5 when fully swollen. I like all precious metals and even SS so that isn't really an issue. I don't travel often enough to justify having a GMT function this early in my collection either unless a heck of a deal pops up. So, it basically boils down to either a Calatrava or a 5167/1a and I'm really leaning towards the latter. I rarely wear a suit but do dress more towards business casual most of the time. Nice slacks, handmade shoes, and a button down shirt is pretty normal just rarely wear a jacket. So, even a Calatrava would need to be more of a daily wearer type watch which I think most can certainly be!With my

324 movement on my aquanaut... Question?

PP Calatrava 5296G - Loud winding noise
Hi allMy friend just brought a PP Calatrava (exact model no is 5296G-001) with an open caseback to see the movment. The watch's winding mechanism is quite loud (i.e. everytime it spins, it makes the winding noise). You can hear it if you closed the door in your office (i.e. no need to put it right next to your ear). Is it normal to be that loud? As I am not familar with PP movements, any help appreciated!Thanks all!Vincent Looks like this (the gold winding mechanism makes the loud winding noise when it spins):

Yellow gold daily use��-
I'm thinking about wearing a yellow gold Rolex every day! And I'm not worried about the scratches! I would love to see pictures of battle tested precious metal watches.
