Will the 5140-G/J/R become a collectible ?
I was a frequent visitor to TRF (and the PP Boutique ! ) last year when I bought myself several PP's, including a 5140-G (white dial) as an every day wearer. I have recently been re-thinking my collection and decided to sell off a few of the discontinued classics to make way for some alternatives.. This has brought me back to TRF after an absence, which has led to the discovery that my trusty 5140-G is no longer in production. I thought that the 5140 was a real classic which would stay around rather longer. Does anyone know why the gold models were discontinued (leaving only the 5140P), and what has replaced them ?Oddly, a quick search threw up a post dated only a couple of weeks ago on another forum, in which someone was agonising between buying a new 5140-G and -J from an AD. I thought stocks were pretty limited even when in production, so it seems strange to see AD's still selling them. I wonder whether it is now attracting a discount (or perhaps a premium ?) once discontinued.

Incoming 5167 Pic Heavy!
First off thank you to everyone on this forum for all your valuable posts and advice. I decided today to take the plunge on the Aquanaut! I'm obsessed!! Previously I've owned only Rolex and I can say right off the bat this watch is SO much more comfortable. I don't even realize it's there... That is until the rotor talks to me. :)Here are some pics. I'm sure you'll see a lot more once I've had her on a bit. Thanks again!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

40 year old life reflection
In a few short months I will be 40 years old and it may me realize how short life really is. I decided to get myself a 5970r. I remember just a short 15 years ago I graduated school with no money and $200,000 in student loan debt. Just 7 ears ago I purchased my first very nice watch a Zenith Chronomaster GT for 6K and I had a nervous breakdown and anxiety for several weeks. Over the years I purchased ands sold many watches until I realized it was Patek was my real love. Interestingly this purchase did not cause me any anxiety or even excitement it just felt right. I remember I was in lover the 5970r the first time I saw it years ago and I remember thinking what kind of person would spend that much money on a watch? This year I visited the Patek Museum and the really got to appreciate the perpetual chronograph and decided that I should have the watch I always wanted. How much longer will I really be on this earth. I hope my purchase inspires you to purchase the watch you always wanted.

3738 Golden Ellipse fans?
Just wondering...how many Golden Ellipse fans do we have here at TRF? I've been smitten by the 3738r for many years now, but they seem to be rare both in the shops as well as within the internet community...at the Tiffany shop, the AD reported very low demand for this model.Thoughts?

Hello everyone,I am new here and have my eyes on PAM424 lately, wondering if anyone bought this model before and the price you paid.Thank you so much!
