Hi Guys,
What are the rarest PP's at the moment on the market (current models not vintage)?
5711a, 5712a....?
Give over George, it's getting boring.
The rarest is one owned by you, it seems.Originally Posted by GeorgeFalconer

Haha yeah
George, I know you say that you have bought three watches during the life of this thread, but do you have any intention of buying a PP and if so which one. I don't think I have the stamina or the will to live to read back over the whole thread.
I guess the 5% or so price increase is irrelevant for a fantasy buyer eh George?
Wonder after the rise if you'll still keep this thread going 😜
I think I stand more chance of getting a night out with Madonna than the bold George finalising a deal on a PP
Come on George we are all behind you.
Watch Alert!
Shut the thread people. I made a decision and put an order in for an Aquanaut
Magnificent news George.
Better wait until you find a wrist shot of some random on the internet, post it and pretend it's yours.
The "boring" steel version? Lol
I hope so, I don't like the brown dial/brown rubber version ;)
It's just a matter of time...
yes Sir
Weren't you offered one at list by another member the other week?! Go figure. Glad you finally made a decision
BTW- Geneva closed all waiting lists for 5711a and 5167a
Really? That's a shame, but maybe, just maybe there is an update due very soon :)
It's just a matter of time...
Lucky I'll be collecting mine in a couple of days then 😎
How do you know that though, hotline to Geneva? 😜
I did enquire the other month about a 5164.
Was told with the introduction of the 5650G, the movement may soon be discontinued.
That's very cryptic?!
Thats what I was told by PP
Patek are as tight lipped as Rolex. No one will know until about a week before.
It's just a matter of time...
one funny thread lol!! made my day
Anybody know if Watches of Switzerland (Regent St) now have dummy Nautilus models to try on??
I read this on another forum. Popping over soon so if this is the case I will go for a visit!
I was in Lenard Dews today they had one in, but I was the dummy wearing it, boom tish

Pretty sure these have been and gone. Was there a couple of weeks ago. Think the dates are on their website
But then that is entirely interest free.
I was more interested in a this view
But that silly watch got in the way again.

Get the dealers to put it on a Timegrapher before you buy it.

Why, out of interest?

Becuase the Rolex sales people behave like snobby mobile phone sales people, similar upstairs at PP and then there is another store upstairs I cant mention that has a guy that has very bad breath. For me reason enough not to buy there.
Ever wondered what these people think of you? They are human beings, with feelings, too.
Bad breath preventing your purchase of a Nautilus and Aquanaut :)
Thanks.
I feel your pain George, you've genuinely being trying to buy since last November and people keep putting objects in your way. a strong bout of halitosis has knocked you out the game once again. May I suggest carrying tic tacs* in case such an event happens again, so you'll be able to combat the problem.
* Other mints may be available.
I purchased dummy

Purchased a dummy?
I thought you'd spat your dummy when people had a dig about your tyre kicking?
Teething?

I bought my first PAM from the WOS Regent Street store and got a few extras thrown in, along with glasses of champagne to boot!
Having been back since, I will give you that some of the staff are a bit hit and miss, but on the whole its a pretty good store IMO. Very slim chance of getting any of the hard to get watches at RRP though, but pretty sure that's the same for most shops in London
No one believes you though - mind showing us?
Please ensure you try to get a photo with a similar wrist to the one you used for the JLC.
I wouldn't bother with any central London dealers for purchases any more. The only decent service is from the PP Salon and Wempe.
watch it little online gnome
Can't wait for photos.
To be fair to George, buying a Patek isn't exactly small money and I can appreciate the dilemmas/choices it can throw up. And for more novice collectors the dynamics with ADs/pricing can be a complete minefield.
Hopefully when he can George will share pics of what Patek he eventually gets. Remember the journey counts as much as the destination!
of course
