Icon20 Another great visit with a friend!

Hello TRF Members,

Had another great visit with my friend Sean at Watch Finder. Got to try on a TT Daytona, YD DD, SS AP, SS LV Sub and two Pateks!

Here's some pictures!





I think this one might of been a ladies Aquanaut?



The plastic was still on this beauty!



Audemars!!



Thanks for looking!

Adam, they all look great on your wrist. So the question is, which one will it be ???

Nice watches Adam, when I tried on the daytona I was surprised how well it fit my smallish wrists, and it's just so comfortable. The problem for me is that it costs the same as all of my three watches combined, so it isn't a practical addition to my collection...

I thought you were a 14060 superfan...?

Looks like you had a great day Adam.

By the way, I really like that last Patek you tried on.

Thanks everyone! I did have a great day! They had a 16610 (black bezel) that's the one that I will buy one day! The LV is just not for me. Newbieone, I'm a 16610 Superfan!

I wonder why...

Great pictures Adam! They all look great on you!

Still, I think that 35 mm Aquanaut (because it is 35 mm, right?) could fit a man as well.

So do I . . .
Please tell me why you all like the Patek's (Nautilus, etc. . ) that much ?
I would really like to know it
Design . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .?
Movement . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?
Because it's a Patek . . . . . . .?
Because they're expensive . . ?

Thanks Carl! Yes the model of the Patek is a mid size. I can't remember the model number? I just looked it up this morning.
