Baselworld 2016: A Quick Look At The Slightly Overlooked Patek Philippe 5204R
The 5204R is a split seconds (rattrapante) chronograph with perpetual calendary; a combination of complications that puts it just one chiming complication away from being a bona fide grand complication watch (traditionally the term "grand complication" meant the combination of a rattrapante chronograph, a minute repeater, and a perpetual calendar). The 5204R is the red-gold version of the original, platinum 5204, which was introduced in 2012; that watch was, in turn, the successor to the reference 5004 perpetual calendar rattrapante, which was introduced in 1996 and which Patek made only in very small numbers every year (the last 50 were made in stainless steel, priced at CHF 270,000, and sold out basically immediately, as we reported here). 1 OF 6 As we've said, the great thing about the 5204R is that it's a reminder of why Patek enjoys the reputation that it does – but why does it do that? I think it has a lot do do with, of course, the classicis

Omega Seamaster De Ville
Ok, so I was going through my jewelry box, and I discovered my great-uncle's Omega that my cousin gave me. She had no use for it, so she thought I would want it....she was right!! The only problem is, it needs a major overhaul. I guess i need to send it to Arlington.

Where does yourmrolex most often receive comments, besides at jewelry stores. ?
I did a search and couldn't find this type of thread. For me, staff at restaurants most often recognize my rolexes and comment on them. Also, at airports a few times while walking. but mainly staff at restaurants notice even my explorer 1, or old air king, much less the deep blue.. I often wonder why, but am guessing it's because they profile people that tip OR just appreciate watches. I certainly don't think staff at restaurants are beneath anyone... many are students, part time, semi retired, or just like what they do. From IHOP to fine dining, I've had people comment on watches.. even hostesses seating people have said,, nice watch... to me. I neverr under any circumstances wear any watch for recognition, ever. It surprises me when people do recognize and comment. When wearing a reverso, I've never had anyone comment, even in a watch store, which seems odd. I guess there are times when people do recognize but don't comment, I myself have complimented people wearing an explorer 2 wh
