    55 year watch enthusiast... Wonderful! I am so happy for you! Congratulations! A respectful suggestion: Whenever you go out with your grail watch, put a small storage case in your briefcase or car. You never know when you may have to take the watch off to protect it from any potential damage. Seriously, I work with my hands all the time (pardon the pun) and it is a great stress reliever having that portable case at hand. You worked very hard to achieve this milestone in life, so why not give it the protection it deserves. All the best! Enjoy!

      @@abhaig Wise guy... The point I was attempting to make is always make provisions to protect what is valuable to you when you are performing tasks, or going to areas, that may pose a significant risk to the watch or your person. If you damage the watch while doing work you ordinarily would not do, you will have plenty of stress and grief. I keep one of my watches with me always in a small case in my bag or briefcase. I always know where it is and if I need to take it off, I have a place to store it safely.

    Congrats! About two months ago I picked up mine first Patek 6119g. I immediately ordered a blue alligator strap which appeared to be a present. Travel pouch was also gifted. I’m still wearing the watch as my number one despite having other options. Patek, for sure, gives special feeling.

    It’s a beautiful dress watch. 10/10 to me. Simple yet not boring dial, beautiful movement visible through the glass. Very elegant, yet very quiet. If I had that amount of spare money and already owned a reverso, I’d love to get one and probably wear it everyday :)

      Forget the so-called "Holy Trinity". JLC is reknown for being "The Watchmaker's Watchmaker". In other words, their movements and overall quality are outstanding! Wise choice.

    Congratulations on your beautiful new Calatrava. I tried on a 6119G at a Patek AD last week and I agree 100% with your review. An elegant, classic, iconic and stunning timepiece. If I were to buy a new Patek, I would get a 6119R. My only criticism of the watch (besides the price) is I would prefer its case diameter to be smaller. I thought it wore a bit too large on my 6.75" wrist for a dress watch. Enjoy your Patek in good health :)

I’m wondering when you put in “an order” as you say at the top of the video is that just you putting your name on their version of a list. Or are you actually ordering it and know the allocation is definitively coming?
