Candids with the 16710

A few shots taken by my wife.

No closeups of the 16710, but I have so many wrist shots of just the watch itself that it was refreshing to see it from a different angle.

I hope my boys see pics like these in the future, look down on their wrists and smile. Patek can eat their heart out.

Love the photos! What do you mean by “Patek can eat their heart out?”

Great photos and great family!

I simply love to see pictures of good watches in everyday situations. They remember what they really are, an accessory to accompany us and tell us stories.

Thank you for showing them.

The whole "you never actually own a Patek..."

Half of the readon why I own these is so that I have something to pass down to my kiddos. Even if they don't become watch fanatics, at least they'll each havre something to remember Dad by.

Patek is nice, but I'm a Rolex guy through and through.

Nice pictures of the family and a cool watch. I think your children will enjoy the watch in the future but I bet they will have enjoyed the time with their father even more.

I have the same sentiment about passing the watch down to my son one day.
