Thoughts on Panda
I have dabbled in AP once before but ended up flipping my 41mm ROC for a Skydweller and have no regrets. That said it meant my collection turming 100% Rolex and with two GMTs I have got to thinking I would like a chrono. I would consider flipping one (216570 exp2) for a white face chronograph but not sure which - I found the RoC a scratch magnet and coupled with the countless stories of QC issues in other AP watches I was happy to get out and be done with AP but my wife has a lady oak and Millenary and I can't help but feel drawn back in. I wouldn't go bracelet but leather would be OK - any thoughts on Panda.?..

My new and only Breitling addition
Just added this to my watch collection. The navitimer was one of my grails. Just sent it out to Breitling USA to have it completely Over Hauled. I want it back in Like new condition. It was in 8.5 out 10 when I purchased it. I also bought OEM watch straps: 2 crocodiles brown and black. Also 3 calf leathers navy, golden brown and dark green. Expensive to say the least for those accessories.Navitimer D23322 Blingy. The straps are to dress it down and make it a bit understated when need be. I also have my Rolex 116610 subC. My goal is to collect Iconic watches from top brands. It took me awhile to buy this Breitling cause I was looking for a good value in the brand. I didn't want to buy new because I want the most BANG for my Bucks! This was in great condition and it was on the more expensive two tone bracelet.

Tourneau Experience (face palm)
How many issues can you spot?I headed over to this AD the other day - just wanting to try on a Speedmaster. Instead, I got the 'overly informative' sales person who knew absolutely nothing.How are they still in business??Capture.JPG

Oh what a feeling...
I believe most of us would not deny that one of the best parts of our hobby/passion is the first days after receiving a watch that you have patiently waited for...sometimes weeks, months, or even years.Yesterday I had the pleasure of wearing my new 5167 for the first time...outstanding is the first word that comes to mind!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information that is posted in this forum, it really helped me to decide to get back to the Aquanaut.But I digress....Two years ago I purchased my first Patek (5167 on bracelet) and to be honest I really never warmed up to the look on the bracelet. We all know what happens next, I traded this piece towards 2 Rolex models just 4 months later. Looking back that was a mistake as I should have just ordered a rubber strap & clasp. Fast forward to two months ago when my wife and I were spending a long weekend away from the kids. Of course I stopped into the Patek dealer that was in the city we escaped to and after trying on a 516

DSSD owner considering a PAM 372 or 557
Hi all,Hope everyone had a lovely holiday!I'm JUST ABOUT to pull the trigger on a PAM557,but can't find any comparison shots with a Rolex DSSD for size. Considering the PAM372 is so comparable to the PAM557, I was wondering if anyone had some side by side shots with the DSSD they could share to push me over the edge (or save me from making a mistake) ??Thanks much,Andrew
