Looks like you were under the weather in more ways than one! Scottish weather somewhat pleasant in contrast.

Patek Philippe Reference 570
By: Baron - Mr Red : May 17th, 2017-02:50
Yesterday and today, I was meant to be in Scotland for a wonderful exhibition of perpetual calendar watches.....vintage and modern. Regrettably, and for only the 2nd time in my life, i suffered food poisoining and have been totally wiped out. I missed an ...
Thanks CC....

.....it would make a fabulous post to compile a Master Collection......with the very best of each genre represented just once. So, for example, in the Time Only category one might put the570. In the WT, one could (arguably..LoL) put the 5131 or 5110 (stil...

.....the condition of this one was a very big factor.
2nd time for me....
By: Baron - Mr Red : May 17th, 2017-05:08
......not so bad over a lifetime....but oh boy, it wiped me out!!
I can totally relate to food poisoning
By: sham1 : May 17th, 2017-06:05
as I seem to be a magnet whenever there is a chance of that happening. Hope you feel a lot better soon and drink lots of water an energy drinks to replenish the lost salt! Take care Joe. PS Sorry but when it comes to health, I tend to forget about watches...
2nd time for me.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : May 17th, 2017-06:15
.....the first time was after i took my Finals exams and was partying in Spain. French onion soup did for me...nearly killed me. Then a long gap until second time....chicken curry this time.
oddly....
By: Baron - Mr Red : May 17th, 2017-06:58
.....for 3 decades now I have never been able to drink french onion soup. I will miss chicken curry if the same "fear" occurs.
One never expects to get food poisoning
By: sham1 : May 17th, 2017-06:55
but when it does strike, it is amazing how helpless it renders one. My worst attack was 20 years ago and a dentist who was doing a rare filling on my teeth 'accidentally' dropped the drill in my mouth cutting the area where my tongue laid. It was a bloodb...
Now that sounds a lot worse than mine....
By: Baron - Mr Red : May 17th, 2017-06:57
......i have stayed fairly close to the necessary locations in my house, and am on the mend now....but that sounds truly horrifying.
Needles to say
By: sham1 : May 18th, 2017-00:15
I have a permanent phobia of dentists, even the pretty ones!
This hobby adds to life in many ways...
By: keks : May 17th, 2017-08:12
they joy of admiring a piece on the wrist being one and being part of a likeminded community another. Your 570 is amazing in a lot of ways. Historical and an important piece in Patek history. Hope you get better soon and really sorry to hear you missed th...
Thanks Keks...

......good words and thoughts. Yes, I was really sad to miss Scotland. I had been looking forward to that for ages.
Thanks Z.
By: Baron - Mr Red : May 17th, 2017-09:09
But I tell you, I can't look at a chicken in the same way again.
I feel your pain.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : May 17th, 2017-15:08
But, you will be OK, and back to normal soon. Hey, at least you don't have to diet for the beach bod, right?
exactly.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : May 17th, 2017-10:26
....and a watch that gives pleasure every single time one looks at it Many thanks
Get well soon,Joe.

That's always a pleasure to see those pieces of yours
By: Mark in Paris : May 18th, 2017-12:51
Those watches are quite rare, especially since we are more used to seeing modern references. The way you positively share and present them, without comparing and ranking with others or to the modern era, is very pleasant. I must say that I'm also looking ...
Thanks Mark.....

......i am trying very hard to maintain a bias towards not comparing. We have discussed so many times how tastes and approach can noty only change over time but within ourselves too. So yes, when I see a post making a comparison, I am always quite careful...
I'm a little late to the party here.
By: TheMadDruid : May 19th, 2017-17:17
Although, it couldn't have been much of a party if the fish sticks got the best of you. Anyway, and although I've seen other posts of this watch by you, seeing it again and when you're feeling lousy, it tells me just how special you find it. Makes me wann...
of all the Calatravas.....
