Why is intime $338 and puretime $438?

Yeah that’s what I keep thinking about
BTW if you want it you better get it now from intime

puretime says from ZF. not sure if intime is ZF cause it doesn't show.

Intime is a pricing error - most likely a fat finger error. It’s $438.

[Godfathar]

Once I get it, I will post the pictures... This watch is the most beautiful formal watch imo, my 5296 is crying I willl stop using it for a while.

I am still a bit sad that patek didn't release the 5227 on a bracelet... The 5127 is such a beauty in all its glory on a bracelet.

Godfathar I hope you don't mind me asking. Why all the love for patek?
dont you like brands like Vacheron, Lange or Breguet? Most of the other members here with exquisite taste like these brands too. I am just curious as I follow your reviews.

I do have the love for other brands.. I own a Breguet, many APs, many Rolexes, and a Frank Muller also. all reps of course.. but to be honest, I have a soft spot for PP. I like thier designs.. and I'm in it too deep now.. looool

Plus as I seek close to gen.. most factories of the other brands, do not really try to perfect the reps.. they always have one flaw at least that screams rep. Now with a factory like ZF, it is making it easier on me not to try and fix the flaws after buying the rep, I had to do many mods for the other reps to look so close to gen..

 

[jm_brc_7057]

Godfathar haha no doubt you are.
Yeah, sad but true. Many of the other brands watches aren't produced close enough to gen. Patek are often closer to gen.

This is sadly so true, especially for breguet and ap.. :/

This is sadly so true, especially for breguet and ap.. :/

I also wish Breguet got more love from rep factories!

Yesterday afternoon mine arrived ... What a beautiful watch! I was very excited. I always saw this watch as a watch that shows the elegance and essence of Patek.

The quality is very good, the negative points that I see are the thickness (1 mm more than the gen ... not big deal), the mirror the mirror (the back of the caseback, I don't know what it is called) it is completely clean unlike the gene that has an engraving, the strap of course it is not the best quality... at the moment I put a glossy dark grey Hadley Roma, it looks pretty good, but the buckle is not of the measure, so maybe I willl order a CF. I don't see other negative points about this beautiful watch

For those who wonder the strap sizes, this is 19/16, same as gen.

I hope to take better photos, but for now I share the following:

the gene that has an engraving

Beautiful watch! I think I'm going to pull the trigger when the RG is released.

Wear it in good health, my friend. Regarding the caseback, only the first set of watches released had engravings. The regular 5227 does NOT have any engraving on the inside of the caseback.

See here: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/i...ippe-calatrava-ref-5227-live-pics-and-pricing

"And the inside of the dust cover itself features a "Patek Philippe" and PP Hallmark engraving, though after the first series is produced, this cover will be left blank for customers to personalize themselves."


Even the Patek website: https://www.patek.com/en/collection/calatrava/5227J-001#&gid=1&pid=5

Here's some pictures of actual 5227 without engraving:
