Looking at a few pre owned patek's..
Gents, wonder what you'd go for. That would be my 2nd pp next to a 5712r.5164a around ?20k.5146p around ?25k.5235g around ?28k.3940g or j around ?32k.5450p around ?38k.I am a looking after collectibility, wearability, beauty, rarity.. Value for money. And contrast to my current watch.The 5146p at ?25k looks amazing value to me.All recent watches from reputable sources in great condition.

Got the rubber
Got a call from ben bridge timeworks in ala moana yesterday and went in to get my strap installed and sized. Was nice to be able to open the packaging myself...I see why some of you guys on here love to do that. Took about 40 mins to install and size the strap but im pretty happy with the result...it really makes the piece look more casual and sporty than the bracelet. Girlfriend says she likes the bracelet better...but eh, this will allow me to wear the watch more, and that's what its for right? Ill swap to the bracelet on certain occasions though. A couple little things...The watchmaker at ben bridge scratched the back of 3 of the lugs during this process...so my baby isn't flawless anymore. Eh, it wasn't going to be perfect forever. I wore it yesterday for a few hours and was outside for a majority of the time...in the heat I developed a rash on my wrist under the new strap. I put some corticosteroids on the rash and washed the strap with soap and water...I hope this will help...im

5070 ( no other title needed :-) )
these are old pictures which I took long ago.My AD had one 5070P and called me when it was delivered. The watch was ofcourse sold but at least I could take some pics of this dreampieceAnd because I read too many questions on this site if a Patek is really so much better than Rolex ... Look at these macro movement shots. The finishing is unbelievablenote that these are pics from another 5070, the red gold.Also pictures I took long ago but since the movement shot from the platinum 5070 were not that good I'll show these.Ofcourse the movement in a 5070 red, yellow white or platinum are exactly the same.So if somebody ever asks again if they are better ... this answers your question.If you don't know how much effort this takes ... read some books about high-end watchmaking br

Sea Dweller 43mm vs Explorer II long term value
This is the first thread I have ever started so please ignore any improper or silly questions. I am also very new to nice watches and really need the opinions and help of those much more knowledgeable and experienced than I am. I have enough saved to buy another watch and am having trouble deciding between the new SD 43mm or the Explorer II 42mm. I have all the technical and price difference so guess my question is simple. I would love to say I will keep this watch forever and pass it down to my son someday, however, I can't say that for sure. In your opinion, which of these watches will hold or increase in value the best in the next 5 or 10 years? Is one a better long term investment than the other. Thanks so much.
