Patek 5164 on nato
I just picked up the 5164a and while I love the rubber strap, I really wanted to dress it down even further and put it on an extra black leather nato strap I had. It is incredibly comfortable and think the 5164 looks better this way than even my Sea Dweller. Comments welcome.

Patek model 5066 used

Patek Philippe 5167 (XL 40 mm) Aquanaut
Since I saw recently a few posts about Patek and the Aquanaut , here's my contribution.I must say that I did not like the Aquanaut nor the Nautilus 3 years ago.But your mind can change :)4 Months ago when the introduced the new 5167 I had the impression I could like that watch.I liked the dial a lot more than the previous dial.So I called my dealer and ordered one.I september 2007 I got the call. I went to his store, tried the watch ... and bought it.It's gorgeousImo you can wear it as a dress watch (with the leather strap) and as a sportswatch with the original rubber strap.The finishing is like one would expect from Patek : PERFECTThe movement is the 315 (which will be rare).Only the first 2 or 3 months they were delivered with the 315, all the others in the years to come will have the calibre 324Anyway, here are some pics
