Rolex SkyD or AP ROC 26331?
I posted this in the Rolex forum, but wanted to get input from the AP forum as well.I've been on the list for 8 months at my AD for the SS Skydweller in the blue dial. #2 on the list from day one. Talked to the AD yesterday. They haven't even received the first one. No idea how long before I get mine.I'm getting impatient. It's not like I'm trying to order a Porsche GT car or a Ferrari 488 right? I know I know. Some folks are on waiting lists that span multiple years for Daytona C's and certain PP Nautilus models. Just not my thing though. I was sold on the Rolex ,but I got to try on the SS ROC in the blue dial. It's an amazing piece. Now I'm starting to think I should just forget about the SkyD and add the ROC to my collection instead? What do you think?

Understanding 'The Owl' RO 25572
Hi guysSo, I'm not the biggest AP lover. I've always gravitated towards JLC but I've always been a fan of 'the owl', the RO day date (with or without moon phase). I think they are works of art in their simplicity and have had a love affair with them for some time now.I've only purchased one or two brand new pieces and tend to go for vintage watches and have my eye on a 1984 steel and gold variation of the owl (25572SAO/0789SA02). As ever, I research the hell out of the watches I eventually pick up (or don't) but I've now been thrown two curve balls in my current 'owl' pursuit.The first is understanding what movement actually powers this particular RO? Having now seen the archive extract of the watch it states 2224/2810 when up to this point I believed that it was the 2124/2810 combination inside the case, particularly for one this age. Why/how could this be inside the watch?Secondly, the crown of this particular owl is gold. Again, all my research, discussions and previous watches I've

First AP!!!
Just got my first AP!!! The finishing is off the charts, I really can't believe it! I think I'll leave it on the rubber to finish the summer off, then might look for a bracelet or leather strap later!Thanks guys!

Update
Hi allI have been in and out of love with this timepiece but I am now 100% sure this is the right first Patek for me. The trouble is finding one new in a UK AD - anybody know of one available please?I am conscious of the possibility of a price increase on the horizon so think it would be wise to act fast. Thanks for your help. Anuj

Some insight please
Didnt want to hijack the 5726 vs 5711 thread but it is somewhat close to what I am considering for my next purchase. This will be my first foray into PP, having owned Rolex, AP, IWC and Tag. I have narrowed it down to the 5711 and 5167 (SS bracelet not the tropical), they both have the same movement, similar case diameter, differences of course the design, tapestry of the dial (love both as they are unique in their own nature), am I missing something else?If you were in the market for a sportier watch (which could be dressed up) which would you buy as your first. (Unfortunately the AD here does not have either watches except for the 5164 so have not really been able to compare side by side in person)Thanks in advance.
