Hi Mike, Thanks for sharing. But you already know that I'm a total fan of this Wempe / PP, as I got the pleasure to put your watch on y wrist. My conclusion was that this watch gives a great idea of what I could call the "Patek harmony". Everything is at ... 

1 mm that makes the difference

 
 By: Mike H : August 8th, 2012-13:10
I had to check for the exact size before I revert to you Did. The diameter of 5125 is in fact 37mm, not 36. I know it's only 1mm more, but that makes quite a difference. Not really on my chicken's wrist (17cm), but on a stronger one it shows. That reminds... 

This is what I call a great start ...

New PP masthead

Hi Oliver, You are asking me if I mind seeing the picture of my 5205 as masthead ?! You must be kidding: I just join the club and you pick up one of my pix, what an honour ! I am just delighted, fell free! Mike

Beautiful watch & dial!

 
 By: DDW : August 6th, 2012-10:33
Really never noticed the "vintage" element of the nice pearls around the circumference of the dial. Very reminiscent of the 2526 and early 3448's What a magnificent design, great addition to your collection I bet, congrats! Ciao, D

Nice introduction, Mike.
