What else do you wear on a weekend when traveling? Off to the Patek Museum in an hour and will post as the day progresses

archer75 · 24 September 2016, 05:05 PM

The other option will be your WT.

Look forward to see great photos. Enjoy the day.

JapRs · 24 September 2016, 05:07 PM

Great! Just planning a visit on October so will be following your thread...

Enjoy the visit and looking forward to seeing your pics!

Great, have fun there

AJW232 · 24 September 2016, 08:13 PM

Have a great time, if you see any 5980r on strap in any of the AD's please let me know. It would be interesting to hear how the availability is in Switzerland.

Jetkopite · 24 September 2016, 09:26 PM

Enjoy Karl and look fwd to seeing photos of your trip aswell as flying you back from Geneva next week :-)

The Salon only had bracelet will keep looking

AJW232 · 25 September 2016, 05:28 AM

Thank you! I must be one of the only ones who prefers it on the strap.

jon_jon · 25 September 2016, 07:12 AM

Looks like a lovely day in Geneva to go watch shopping

Hairdude1 · 25 September 2016, 09:03 AM

Awesome!

KarlS · 25 September 2016, 03:05 PM

Both Andy and Benlee did write ups on the Salon and I don't want to duplicate pictures so will need day or do to work out what is what....I did try on the $2.2 MIO 6300G tho

WatchKY · 26 September 2016, 06:28 AM

Karl you know as captain I will have to confiscate those Pateks when you board my aircraft out of GVA?? hahahaha

KarlS · 26 September 2016, 07:04 PM

I think just you concentrate on keeping that 777 wings flapping!!

Of course we can remove the cufflinks and a 5131 will fit in very nicely!!

how is the staff there , entertaining or just a regular salesppl?do they have a watchmaker on hand ?

[QUOTE=Passionata;7030755]how is the staff there , entertaining or just a regular salesppl?do they have a watchmaker on hand
There is a resident watchmaker who you can watch work and he was actually testing a repeater for a client collection when I was there. Unlike various negative comments I found the staff absolutely fantastic and definitely without any airs and graces. In fact I felt guilty about taking up so much of the Deputy Head of the Salon who spent close to 2 hours with me. They even followed up a few hours later with a nice email. So I had a great Salon experience. In fact i am going back this evening !

Headshrinker · 26 September 2016, 10:49 PM

Some of my most memorable trips. I was able to visit many watch manufacturers and independent watchmakers in the early 90s while on the pro cycling circuit.

Sounds like an amazing trip so far. Are you picking up a special piece whilst you're there?

Haha, that's so cool!! Don't let Karl on the plane unless he has some news on the nautilus 40th anniversary!

Hahaha Russ I think a good interrogation aswell as confiscating his gorgeous Pateks is in order before boarding

I will be visiting the Salon also on this trip so lets see if I get any hints on the 40th. Personally I think it will be a non event & out of reach pieces for us mortals.
