Watch to take with me
Going to be heading to warm weather in a few days for a work conference. Having a first world dilemma about what watch to wear (Only want to bring one). What would you bring?Patek:5726 (strap), 5164 (strap), 5167R, 5990, or 5522 (I may take over the conference and win the lottery if I take this one)Rolex: Ceramic SS Daytona, Platona or gold subFigured I would post something like this to lighten the mood of the forum, that being said....I am kinda serious about not knowing what to take....

A Patek that everyone loves?
With all of the differences in opinions on newer Pateks including the limited pieces, perhaps we should reflect on an older model that everyone seems to love!

Help from members who have ref 5070s
Guys I need some help please, can those of you who own the reference 5070 (mainly G and R) do me a favor? I'm curious what booklets came with the watch. I know there's a specific 5070 booklet which is thin, but I'm wondering if there was an additional booklet titled manual winding movements which lists the CH27-70 movement or not. I would love to see pics of what you have.Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
