My new additions from China.

The Patek is a cheapie, off the street.

The Frank Muller bought from Watchmark.

The A. Lange and Panerai , also from Watchmark.

All running perfectly.

The ss. bracelets ( woven )are the most comfortable straps I have ever worn.

Love the Franck Muller (the bathrobe helps ).

I do have to say I greatly dislike the Patek. It looks every penny of $25. Do I spy "diamonds" on each quadrant?? Mercy.

The important thing is that they mean a lot to you, because they'll remind you of your visit to Mark in Guangzhou. Wear it in great health!

@Rodwc: You betcha! Thanks for taking my comments in a nice way. And what you say is absolutely true. I know there are loads of people here who, every time I wear my Fiddy, just shake their heads in dismay.

Thanks for the comments.

Actually, its strange how tastes differ about watches, I really like the Patek,

and the diamonds are not really obvious, and it was`nt $25, it was $17.24.

I simply bought what I did because I liked them, and really wasn`t bothered if

they were spot on to the gen.

Its good that we are all different, as the world would be a very boring place if we were all the same, hey.

I like the Patek, the back is not too convincing for me but the front looks great I would rock that on a nice strap including that SS braided one you have there!

ooh I love the Patek too. I think it looks very classy

i do like patek myself and am looking for one right now ... not too much of a fan of the diamond quadrant but like you say: Its good that we are all different, as the world would be a very boring place if we were all the same
