Seamaster 2254.50 vs Seamaster 212.30
I own the 2254 in the picture. I'm thinking of partnering it with the blue ceramic. What do you guys think? I personally think they are a nice pairing, different bracelet and colour being the main attraction for me. 👍

How many of you switch watch band yourself?
I am just curious how many people here switch your watch band yourself? and how often do you do it?Myself is eyeing on a strap for my new SMP 300m, just a bit hesitate to do so as I am afraid I will scratch the lug.And if you it yourself, where you get the tools from?Cheers,

New 5167A owner and new to the forum
I've been reading this forum for a while now and I'm finally excited to post now as a new 5167A owner. I just picked this up on order from my local AD. It came in fresh from Patek. As an introduction, I bought my first watch this year an IWC 3714 Portuguese. I thought that would be my first foray into watches and my last purchase for a while. But the bug has really hit me after reading these forums. I was in the hunt for a waterproof watch as I travel quite often. In April I stopped by an IWC boutique in LA and came across the Charles Darwin AT in bronze. I quickly called my AD and sourced one before my next trip. After 2 watches in 3 months I established a relationship with one of the reps at my AD. I asked her about a Lange I read about on Hodinkee that looked interesting. I came in to look at it and determined it wasn't my style. A few weeks later she texted me a picture of a 5167 that came in randomly. I fell in love immediately. I went in the next day to take a look but the piece

5711/1R or 5712r
Hello everyone,I'm still waiting for my first Patek to be delivered, a 5990/1a. I went to the mall the other day and stopped by my AD to get an update. They told me it should be here by mid march. I'm also interested in getting a 5711/1R, which I'm trying to find one now. I've always wanted a rose good watch on a bracelet. However, as I was walking around the store, I saw a 5712r, which I was not interested in before, but for some reason starting to like now.I wanted to know what your thoughts are on both watches.Thanks,Majed

This is one of the worst examples I've come across. Caliber 2235.
