Just so comfortable for the weekend
I love the brushed bezel on this watch and the way the sapphire crystal sits flush with the surface of the bezel.Patek5167.jpg

Patek discounts?
Just curious as to what kind of a discount one can usually expect on a Patek? I have heard their margins are higher than Rolex, does that mean a higher discount typically? Of course, I know a few of their models are impossible to get, I'm just referring to easy to buy off the floor models.

Started out a couple weeks ago with the new Radiomir 572. Last week I attended a Panerai evening event at a local AD. Today this arrived, the Luminor 372. They make a great pair. And I'm already thinking about going gold! Just a thought for now.

Any Polar AND Black dial 16570 owners?
Have a birth year 16570 with black dial from 1989. Picking up a 2006 Polar 16570 today. Anyone else own this watch in both polar AND black?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rolex Dealer closing down.
One of Houston's longest standing independent Rolex AD's is closing its doors for good, presumably after Christmas. Donoho's Jewellers in The Woodlands has been around since before I bought my first in 1984. I hadn't been there in years and being in the area Saturday dropped by to see the Final Days banners hanging. The store looked pretty picked over and all of the Rolex watches left, maybe 30, were in one case. Lots of Cellini, PM stuff, and diamond dialed DJ's. There was one YG Daytona-C on leather strap, no other sport models. I didn't ask but other watch brands were marked 15-20% off. They also carry Breitling, Tudor, Corum, Bell and Ross, and TAG. Don't know the story but I'm guessing the family just wanted to retire.This leaves only one Mom and Pop, one chain store, and a couple of local mini-chains including the one that runs the Boutique. I kind of liked it when it at least seemed like there was competition.
