I just received mine today and I’m at work so haven’t had a chance to properly look at it yet, but just opened her up to take a quick look and WOW!
I gotta say having owned a lot of Patek reps over the years, this is next level...
I’ll spend some real time with it tomorrow but for now I’m really impressed!

DC this rep is by far the best rep oI have ever owned that is a Patek Philippe. And the thinnest I have owned. it is the next level indeed. Well worth the price. I'm going for the "white gold" one too
Only down thing is the rotor noise. I think it's the loudest I have ever heard. I wonder if it would be easy to silence it. Any ideas?

Standard Problem with the Miyota. Put some oil on the rotor and you’re good to go.
True, but this one the sound is exaggerated a bit.. more than the noise we hear in a standard Miyota tbh

Not had it out and on the wrist yet so haven’t heard what it’s like, but my 5227 is quite loud, I think it’s a bit of a lucky dip with the Miyotas really.
Now I’ve seen it in the flesh I am more leaning towards a gloss brown strap after all, but will see how I feel after a little more time!

You're Saying I Can Sell?
Really liking this. Took some more pics.
Strap looks great. Not the usual junk you get on reps.
I totally agree regarding the strap.. it's considered shiny and a good quality when compared to the junk that came on reference 5227. I'm gonna use the rep strap for the first time ever. I think on the wrist it Looks great

Well mine came in yesterday and I have no words. Everything that has been said is true, this one is just a level above the rest. It's a Calatrava turned up to eleven! The looks are impressive but sober and elegant, the strap is indeed amazing, and funny enough mine is not loud at all. I'm really impressed!

I really do think the Miyotas are a hit and miss. I've had watches where the movement sounds like a helicopter! But I've been lucky with my 5296 and ZF Aquanaut. Same with my JLC Moonwatch. My 5227 on the other hand? Let's not talk about it. Still waiting for the serviced movement with the rotor silenced.

Very easy to silence by using silicone grease ..
