Hands-On: With The Patek Philippe 5204 Split-Seconds Chronographs With Perpetual Calendar (Live Pics, Specs, & Pricing)
Saying a new Patek Philippe reference is impressive is sort of redundant in itself. But the 5204 is really impressive. It's a new perpetual calendar with split-seconds chronograph for Patek, replacing the 5004 in the lineup, and offering a number of significant improvements. We got our hands on one back at Basel 2012 and have all the details.We'll start with the most basic differences. First, Patek has chosen to up the case size from 36.7 to an even 40 millimeters in keeping with the modern trend for larger watches. It's a huge jump, but 40mm is still a more than reasonable size and looks quite good here. 2 OF 17 Currently the 5204 is only being produced in platinum (5204p-001 being the full reference for this piece), and while the 5004p was most often seen with arabic numerals, the 5204p features applied gold baton markers with luminescent fills instead. The dial itself is opalescent 18k white gold and the hands are black oxidized gold with Super Luminova inl

Attn patek owners!
OK everyone.. As a relative newbie to Patek Philippe (Ok, not so relative, just new ) I'm curious to hear what the first Patek Philippe was for those of you who own them. How did your Patek collection evolve after the first one?I've spent so many countless hours reading information & staring at pictures I've gone cross-eyed (Thanks a bunch Milos! ). Man these things are hard to pull yourself away from!I'm hoping to get my first Patek Philippe this year & have a very good idea of what it'll be. But I'd really love to hear from all of you on where you started down the Patek route, what road your collection went down & where you are today (such as did you start with a simple 3 hand, and then go to a complication or other way around)...Oh, and of course pictures are greatly appriciated!!!! Let's hear where it all started for you!

New Oris TT1 Chronograph (offical release)
Here's a new member of the F1 team from Oris - the TT1 Chronograph. I'm a sucker for a red and black combination, but I think this one may struggle to compete with so many similar styles out there. Mind you, if it's significantly cheaper than say, the Tag Carrera or Longines Grand Vitesse, it would be an attractive option for anyone looking for a quality example of this style.Here's the official word from Oris:Inspired by the instruments of race cars and wheel design, the watch features a stainless steel case with black PVD plating and a striking case-back with see-through mineral glass. The stunning ceramic Tachymeter scale top ring is a reminder of Oris¡¯ dedication to the most refined design processes.On the dial centre, hands for hours, minutes and chronograph ? seconds are accompanied by three subsidiary dials for continuous seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours - a technical twist which highlights the Williams F1 Team¡¯s influence. The application of Superluminova to the indices and han

Number of Links in Rolex Date
Hello everyone,I finally traded up from my Air King to a 18k gold/steel Rolex Date. The model number is 15203, which I am pretty sure means that the bracelet is Oyster 72190 (someone please correct me if I am wrong) It was produced in the year 2000.Doe anyone know how many links it should come with? I am noticing that it fits a little tighter than my Air King did, and when I look at the bracelet, it looks uneven to me. I am also not sure what counts as a full link?? I have researched online for hours and I have seen a couple different diagrams and lists, and I was just curious if anyone knows the definite number of links that should have come with this watch. I am starting to think that I was shorted 1.Thanks for any help! I can post a pic if that would help!
