Patek Philippe 5205G-013 Annual Calendar Review

[jm_brc_7057]

Finally! A partial collection shot, excellent taste my friend.

Thanks mate. I’m hoping for the rest to arrive within the next weeks. So I can take a image of the complete collection.

 

[jm_brc_7057]

You have a taste for classics =) Nice collection bro. Wanna have 1 of those tourbs heheh

thanks mate. I try to have a collection with diversity.
Regarding types of watches:
pilot - world time/gmt - sports - dress - skeletonise

Regarding case and dial materials and colour combi of strap/dials.

and lastly the ‘complications’:
Calendar
Tourbillon
Date
Small seconds
moon phase (albeit non functional)
Chronograph
Celestial

And special mention to real enamel dial and micro rotor movement.

Thanks mate. It’s more a question of when to find time to wear it

Looks wonderful - you have great taste and a great collection. Thank you for the review!

that’s the thing mate hehe.. I had the JLC moon phase. It was
a fine watch but I never used it. And moon phases are a headache to set. And if you wear the watch without setting it you could just have a moon phase which wasn’t functional and just a day/night indicator instead.

Yea I understand. On one hand you could have a watch winder, so you wouldn't have to set it each time. On the other hand, I sometimes just grab and wear watch without setting it all.. Well still hope for a v2 some time with working moonphase regardless Like Chaykin Joker came with working moonphase after first release with seiko nh35, but by that time I was already bored by its design

Yeah. Could be incredible. I doubt they have the movement for it. But they did the joker! It's also a bit complex with the minute and hour subdial placement.

Nice collection mate, I am also getting into rep watch collection hobby and already shortlisted few pieces. Btw which one of these are reps or all are reps?

 

[rek00001]

jm, how does the RM wear on your wrist? I'm interested in RM but I have a 6.5" wrist, don't know if it would work.

For sure it would be very big to you.

Thanks mate. Yes. The reps are. Some of the pieces I have changed/sold.

My wrist is 6.75” and it feels fine for me. I’m not sure how it would wear if your wrist is smaller. They made the case curved like the gen on the ZF RM 35-02, that certainly helps but I’m not sure.

Thanks much for reply jm, my wrist is 6.5"

_DC_ I think rek00001 you should be able to wear a RM 35-02 ZF. We have only about 5mm difference in wrist size. I think DC also has a relatively small wrist. And he can wear a lot of RMs.

rek00001 My esteemed colleague is not wrong, my wrist size is the same as yours, 6.5 inches (or around 16cm) and I wear the smaller RMs just fine..

I also honestly believe that wrist shots of RMs is what puts people off because they always look huge. This is because of the effect of photographing from close up distorting the proportions. In reality this is how an RM looks on my wrist...

Your entire Arm is huge, I'm also 6.5 but mine is kinda thinner than yours. What I mean is that you have more meat than me hahah. The thickness of that RM is 16.5mm am I right? If I have a thin arm and small wrist it would look really terrible on me I guest. But your RM on white strap is killing it. Love it!
