AP Trulli value
Greetings folks. A watch buddy of mine is offering me an AP ROO Trulli in the low 20's. It is very clean but is missing authentication docs. Assuming that I am comfortable that it is legit, what is it worth? I feel more confident with Rolex but this piece is beautiful and I am tempted. Thx in advance!

Seamaster chrono AC 2594.50 info plse
I may be able to get one of these with a serial # dating it to 2006. Complete with box, papers, new, unworn. Any idea what I should be paying for this?Any pics out there you could post or comments based on your experience. I read somewhere there was a problem with 3303 movement in earlier models. With a manuf dating 2006 is the problem solved. Thanks for your info and pics if any!!

Considering my first Patek - Input please!
Hi guys and gals,I've been voraciously collecting Tudor for a number of years now. I still don't know how or why I became so infatuated with the brand, but I'm getting to the point where I think diversification is necessary. There are still a number of Tudor grails I'm after, but they are not easily found so I need to wait and hunt to find desirable examples (7924, eagle beak, homeplate). Lately I've found myself looking st complications from JLC, IWC Mont Blanc and obviously Patek. I am considering the new IWC annual calendar w blue dial, but my heart and gut are stuck on the 5960/1a. Is this a good first Patek? Any input about complications in general? Any other Patek models I should consider? Other brands? Thanks!!

5726��white or black?
Nope, not asking since that decision has been made, but it's one I looked up and struggled with for a few years so figured I'd write something about it in case someone else searches the topic like I did.Over the course of a few years, I'd always try on the 5726 when visiting my local AD. Usually wasn't in a position to buy but always said I'll be buying one of these at some point. I'd love whichever version they had (usually not both at same time) �C white or black. I'd pore over pictures online debating which one I'd buy��kind of silly since I had no clear plan or path to actually doing it, but it was fun to do. So I get to the point where I am ready to make the move and restart the debate in my head in earnest. Google imaging the watch, reading any reviews available, etc etc. What other watches do I want? If I go white here, I probably would not eventually go for a white 5711 (yeah, I'm in minority but I may prefer it over blue)��but white would be a good compliment to this, or that, e
