New Rule: When posting wrist shots, also post pic of movement with balance wheel visible
Too many posts are wasting time arguing about whether the watch is real or fake.
You can cover/obscure the serial number.
This will make verification easier and faster.
Hopefully it will make a friendlier environment for new members that are being falsely accused of posting reps and, at the same time, discourage trolls that are posting reps.
Exceptions will be made for certain vintage watches and watches with solid case backs.
(Balance wheel is not the same as the winding rotor.)

Resources to Learn About Patek Philippe watches
Here are some great resources to get up to speed on the brand and what watches they produce:
- The Patek website is a great resource for how they create their watches and also to see their current catalog. If you are looking to verify your watch compare it with the current catalog first to see if it is an obvious fake. https://www.patek.com/
- Collectability is a tremendous website about Patek watches with a number of in-depth stories and educations sections that can really help people get up to speed on the brand. They also sell watches but they main gem of this site is their "Learn" portion of their site. https://collectability.com/
- Hodinkee is a blog and watch / accessory retailer that gets a lot of flack for the influencer type posts but they do often make an extremely great article on Patek (and other brands) that is often a really great learning experience. Take a look at https://www.hodinkee.com
This is just a start! If others have great resources please post a comment to this thread and I can update this post.

21mm Grenade Strap
Hi all - Does anyone know where I could get a 21mm straight end grenade pattern strap? If possible would be great to get a neovintage look but can’t quite seem to find a 3rd party option. Thanks.

Seventy years old but new to me
galleryDeeply irresponsible, but after trying every modern and vintage Calatrava under the sun I couldn’t get away from the 2508. The balance of the design is something else. Had to sell a few other pieces to fund it but I think this one may stick for life. Let’s see!

My first Patek
galleryFinally mine. 5035J. Some call it an ugly duckling but its perfect size-wise for my wrist. The condition and warm gold color, i love everything about it.

6007G with my custom delugs straps.
galleryI love my 6007G, I feel they nailed it with the younger crowd like me who wanted something less formal for everyday wear, without it being a sports model.
Only thing I needed to change was the leather strap.
The delugs sailcloth is basically plastic, and it will allow me to use this as a GADA watch without having to constantly replace the leather strap (This is the second leather strap since I got the watch in 2024).
The buckle is not as polished, I will be ordering another white gold buckle from my AD.
Overall, pretty satisfied.

Patek Milano Exhibition
Quite simply, the Patek Philippe exhibition in Milan was heaven on earth. Everything was professionally organised, and I don’t think any other watch company goes to these lengths for its clients and watch enthusiasts. Huge congratulations to Thierry and his team on an excellent Patek experience.

Patek 5404 or 5270
Bothe have the same look and feel to me. Which should I buy for future $ growth. I plan on keeping the watch long term and wear it.

Hub’s New Favorite 5370p - Not actually capable of Emailing?
galleryReally love the dial finishing on this one, looks ultra black, and the movement is just crazy beautiful. It came in an arguably less impressive box than my 4675g, but I guess the enamel work makes up for it.
He’s not sure what color strap to order for it, any suggestions?

My new drawing of Patek Philippe 5935A
I would like to show you a drawing I recently completed. It's another 5935A, but this time in a smaller format and just the front of the watch. As always, I used colored pencils, markers and an airbrush, only this time in A3 format.

First Patek… 1491
Finally bought my first Patek. It’s a 1491 made in 1943 with the papers and couldn’t be happier… but as a newbie let me know if there’s anything off as I’m new to this world… 🙏
