IMG_1471.jpg IMG_1468.jpg IMG_1474.jpg The sun came up, the watch is gorgeous in the sun, the dial just pops, very happy, I think this will be a keeper, makes a great trio IMO, with the 5712 and the AP ceramic diver, 3 different materials and looks, ok the Aqua is close to the Nautilus, but still different enough |

Those are AWESOME shots Lapince!
That RG is just stunning in the sun--WOW! Don't you love that clasp? It's honestly the thing I liked about 5167 most. |

The clasp that they should use on the nautilus!

Arnaud here is a "unique piece" hunter that's popped up on Instagram. There is an article in the October Watchtime magazine

Yep the Nautilus clasp does look crappy next to it, though I must say that if you encounter a professional thief, I think he'll take your Aqua off without you ever noticing, much harder with a Nautilus, but it is another level from the Nautilus Quote:

Yeah it's nice to have a PM Patek, this one seems perfect for me, I like it since the first time I saw it, my first visit to a Patek AD, I wasn't looking for this but they had it, found it lovely, always had more difficulty loving the steel version, it's nice but doesn't guve me the wow factor that this one does |

Thanks Karl, will take a look, I get that maybe some won't like the style of mine with the caseback, but I really love this style, in any case for those who don't like they will have yours to admire, it will be a stunner too, and just a wild guess, but I think both will be very blue oriented, and both will be awesone in their own right, it's great you took PR, love PR watches, but my Vouti budget is already exploded, at one point you need to say stop, and the result for me will be awesome, can't wait to see your's, sure it will be amazing

What's that last breguet? Is it a prototype or do you know the model number?

Sure you have time, I would get the PR if I were you, it adds a nice touch to the dial.
He gave me the name of the engraver who will do my caseback, as I understand he did the previous ones for Kari, when you google his name you find some of his work, the guy is really good. Eddy Jaquet |

I think the PR is the most useful complication in a watch.. One thing you cannot get on your smart phone app

Thanks my friend, should really love this one, maybe not as 5712, but more than AP diver, but love all three, will be cool getting the 5711, and Daytona but I may give it to my wife, should look great on her.
I love PR and moonphase, one useful, even on autos the other not but nice to look at |

Regarding the Vouti, I am really happy that you're sticking with your desire to go with the officer's case back. I think it's such a cool feature, and so rarely seen. Were I ever in the position to commission a Voutilainen, I would definitely opt for the officer's case. Plain sapphire case backs are so common, and they do not afford the opportunity to have nude Viking warriors, or nuclear physicists, engraved on them. Looking forward to the V! |

Thanks man Definitely going for the officer, love thebfeature, you have 2 interesting things to look at when you turn the watch over, no way I am changing that part, some won't like it, others will, but I will love it for sure, IMHO it's 40-50% of the watch's interest |

Looks fantastic in the sun. Congrats on the 5167r. How does it wear compared to your 5712 (which is more comfortable?).

It wears great, as comfy as the 5712, no difference, just one is metal and the other rubber, so different feel but level of comfort about the same IMO, both are a true pleasure to wear

Thanks, the dial is amazing, maybe even more than the 5712 bLue, good sunburst dial, the Nautilus blue and Aquanaut brown make an awesome dial pair |

Congratulations Arnaud.
I am pleased to see that everything worked out well in the end. Look forward to seeing the final finish on your new Voutilainen when it arrives next year. What an exciting time for you :)))
