Any one after a military looking watch from PP?
If the dial said Hamilton probably £2k, but with PP on it a bargain at $40k.

Laughing at the tiny, useless crown.
Reminds me of the Longines Spirit but not as nice……
I like that apart from the fauxtina lume which still makes me cringe a bit.
The fauxtina dial I think looks good though.
Crown is too small and lugs too pointy but I have a nato waiting for it:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have feeling this will become a classic.
I have seen many PP watches that look ordinary or even boring and if any other name was on the dial no one would give them a second look, but the name on dial, similar to Rolex seems to give grown men an erection.
That's a good tip for later tonight. Thanks.Quote:

Tag Heuer must be scratching their heads. They bring out the autavia first Longines copy it, then Montblanc now Patek.
Mine says hi!Quote:

Ignoring the fact it's not exactly within my financial grasp I actually really like it. Not sure it's my style however it's a fine looking thing.
It’s nice enough though a bit random and probably a few years late on the vintage fauxtina trend. I imagine the buyers of these will be seriously wealthy and for the looks and novelty rather than giving it too much thought.
With a PP you have to think of the inside as well as the outside.Quote:

I thought military watches are cased in SS?

Completely agree with the OP - this years releases from Patek are particularly underwhelming. The faux dial patina and syringe hands make them more like a Patek homage than a Patek. For that kind of money the quality and design of the exterior needs to match that of the interior, and these, as a suite of releases are a complete fail from my perspective, particularly when compared with the elegance of the 6119 grand as pointed out above.

Personally I think it's amazing. I like my 'g10' style watches (oft wear my Smith) and see this is as a 'pinnacle' piece for the style.
I like the way the proportions of the watch are put together.
