New to forum and AP
HelloMy name is Peter. I'm about to turn 43 so convinced myself and my wife that I couldnt live without this piece of AP.FYI my wife have had the opportunity to see her husband celebration his own birthday with a new watch around 3-4 times every year for the last couples of years:-)That Said ... I have to flip them to afford new ones, telling her everytime that this is a keeper... Her only comment is... Please...:-) Anyway , starting with Tag Heuer, Omega, Panerai, Rolex, Iwc, Zenith and Rolexes again. Never thought I would be able to afford an AP and when I tried on ROO's I found them too busy and Big. When the Diver got released I tried it on and found it very very nice and clean.Still a lot of money for me at that time and there was a waiting list as well.Two weeks ago my usual dealer had one on its way. A year old with b&p and both rubber and bracelet.Atm I was very happy about my current Rolex polar 42mm and the 3 weeks old d Series gmt16710.But , in my head It was the Diver

A nice little tool
I have been looking and I finally came across this guy. It came in the mail today.

My Patek 5990 is FINALLY at HSWA NYC for Service.
Hello fellow TRF members. I wanted to start a fresh thread that I will update along the way about the service of my 5990.A little while back, I reported of Dust inside the movement of my 5990. There is also a problem with the case polish on the watch. Keep in mind my 5990 is only a couple months old since I purchased it brand new from my patek AD.. You will notice in one picture that there is a fiber inside the watch. I circled it in red so you can see. Aside from dust contamination, The watch isn't keeping as advertised time and or power reserve. This could also be due to the dust contamination. In the second picture, I would like to point out that this watch has been miss polished from the factory. You will see a red circle indicating the problem area. The polished line that flows from either side of the lugs dips in the center and is not perfectly straight. Same can be said of the bottom pusher for the chronograph, that is not properly polished either and does not match the top push

Picking up my first Patek, need your advice
Hi everyone. I'm about to pull my trigger to get my first Patek. I'm looking to get the 5146G. Can any current owner let me know what they like or don't like about the 5146?

Probably the last...
So, the next watch will probably be the last that I'll be able to sell to my wife. I'm thinking classic Rolex tool watch, either Sub or GMT. I won't pretend that either are needed or will be in anyway useful as I don't dive and I am able to compute the time difference to Beijing in my head. But I love watches...the history, craftsmanship and ingenuity astound me...plus they look great. This is most of the current collection:What do you all think makes sense? What am I not considering? I'm open to suggestions, max $9k.
