Some incredible watches. I love the dial on the last Patek. Would also love to see the movements on some of these.

5339 is my favorite of the bunch, especially like the hobnail bezel, front and back

oh i just noticed it is a minute repeater as well....didn't know i could a moment ago, but now I like it even more

Awesome group for sure. It would be a privledge to own any one of these, although I would prefer to own either the ALS or one of the Pateks if I had a choice.

Of the pics you posted, I really only like the IWC Grande Complication and the Patek SkyMoon. But then I'm into grand complications much more so than simple dials.
