No love for pateks ?!

Would love to see some more wristshots - especially of some 5980 reps

I think BP ruined the love for their 5980 reps with the rattly bracelets, tacky decoration and thickness like a chunky burger hehe

other wise you are right - the 5980 is an underrated reference for bigger wrists while being a bit controversial towards the original ultra thin concept of a nautilus.

The new gen world timer got also a bit weird proportions...

I'm still holding on to BP V.1 undecorated (was one of the lucky ones to snatch it when it first came out). The closest you would get to the gen when it comes to thickness and overall look.. especially after modding the chrono hand and making it the same silver colour as the gen ;)

Good old times hehe

Awesome piece! I was following the process of modding with interest back then when you posted about it.

The mod really enhances the beauty and concept of different finishes to complete a visual appearance like seen on not too many other watches.

Lucky you ;)

But why ? You already have the rg 5711 with gen dial, so you should pass both 5980s to me lol

Very nice pp collection mate

They're yours at same percentage premium the gen goes for.
So take stock rep price, multiply it by x % (in this case about 50%) and offer it to

If this helped, I'm expecting a fair share in this too for acting as your advisor.So take stock rep price, multiply it by x % (in this case about 50%) and offer it to

Hahahahahahaha.. very interesting approach .. but it is going for more than 50% premium according to the latest auctions. But I love the idea.. Patek Philippe is making even the ones buying reps benefit ;)
