Consolidate for 1 ultimate Grail?
I was walking around today in HK and stopped by a grey seller shop here in HK that I use to frequent but hadn't been in for quite some time. BOOM...there it was in the glass window display. A Patek 5970j brand new. The owner told me he has another one that is 99% condition. Price seems to be very attractive and ~$30k below what I've seen advertised by sellers in the states. With the used one being $10k less than the new one. Question I am debating now is whether to trade in a bulk of my collection to obtain this monster! I would need to sell the following to make the numbers work:(1) Rolex WG skydweller(2) Rolex platinum day date 2(3) AP RG ROO 44mm novelty(4) AP 15202 jumboThis would leave me with:(1) Patek 59801r(2) Patek 5970j(3) Rolex DSSD(4) Rolex YG GMT2cWould you do it? Kind of fun thinking about it! Going to post in the Patek forum as well to get balanced views.I was walking around today in HK and stopped by a grey seller shop here in HK that I use to frequent but hadn't been i

My Grail Faces Competition
I set my goal on acquiring a Nautilus chrono 5980 as my one-and-only everyday watch. I'm several months from reaching my goal, so I have some time to change my mind.I may have changed my mind.I was admiring the 3940 that Stuxnet recently added to their collection. I remember it was this very model that turned my head and opened the door to watches beyond Casio. It was 1982, and I was 15 years young.I was surprised to see the 3940 may be obtained for about the same cost as a 5980. The very watch that epitomizes haute horology for my 30-year disease, err, obsession!Now I'm conflicted. Do I stick to plan A (5980), or work to obtain my idea of the ultimate representation of my long-lived dream?The 3940 hardly seems suited for a T-shirt-and-shorts-at-Disneyland kind of watch. The easy solution is get both but it's not a realistic one for me.Can anyone offer some advice?

I want one! (Strap pic)
Was strolling through the ABP site and saw this. What do you think?

Wait time for 116610LV ?
I put a deposit down for a 116610LV with my AD yesterday. Just wondering how long others have had to wait for a 116610LV from an AD? I am the only one on the list. In Vegas there were six people on the list at Rolex inside the Wynn. John
