Some help needed
Hello, I apologize for yet another nautilus thread, but I really need some help from you guys. I live in a country with one Patek AD only (sells Patek only), my name has been on the waiting list for both 5711 and 5712 for more than 2 years and it seems like it will take another 5 years or more as they keep telling me they received none and the list has more than 50 names... I called all of the Patek ADs in Europe out of which only 8 accepted to take my name and I felt that they were not taking me seriously. Keep in mind that I told every AD I spoke to that I am willing to pay a deposit immediately. My name is on the waiting list at the London Salon and they said the wait is 8 to 9 year. I also have my name at the Geneva Salon with waiting time of 5 to 6 years.I do understand the whole Patek approach regarding steel watches and the Nautilus specifically but at the same time I don't understand how this watch is highly available in the grey market. Almost everyday I see on instagram/faceb

One week with my new patek
Well ive owned the 5167 for a week now and just wanted to update on how im feeling about it. First. I love this thing...but I can honestly say that while I stated this was going to be my grail piece...it will not be. Rather im setting my next patek bar kind of high and will only purchase it in about another 10 years (when I pass 40 and purchase my second home.) Im glad I took you guys' advice and skipped the B&R for now. I still want it to fill in a gap in my collection, and will still be purchasing it probably the end of this year for Christmas. On to the watch1) Love the look of it. The dial is beautiful and I swear I can stare at the movement for hours. 2) Ive worn it out 2 times now. Once out to dinner and another for some drinks. Both with the GF. No stares and no one even notices it. Makes me worry about it less. 3) Its keeping time well. I feel that when adjusting time and winding that the movement is faaar more delicate than my rolex...and im taking extra care to be gentle

A question of accuracy and time
I understand the stated accuracy of the movements.I also understand the various apps for measuring watch accuracy.But what is more important - to me at least - is how the watch is set.I stop the movement and adjust the hands as best I can visually.Then I start the movement by pushing in the crown while viewing a time clock. Lot of room for human error. Then I think there must be some short time lag before the gears begin turning the hands.So while my watch is very accurate I am more interested in setting and reading the time correctly.When I just quickly glance at the dial I can easily tell the actual time within 30 sec. (just by looking at the hands).Good enough for rock 'n roll. Of course I can read the sweep seconds for greater precision.I am curious what methods people use set their watch. Maybe its just my OCD...Forgive a newbie - I just wanted to start a thread that I thought TRF folks could help me understand (and that was not about DayC's).
