Black Dial stainless Daytona versus Blue Dial AP Royal Oak 15300
Hello all,Medium term lurker and first time poster! I find myself in a bit of a quandry and was keen to gauge some general opinion by calling upon the collective wisdom of the forum.I currently have a stainless/yellow gold bimetal daytona (ref 116523, black dial) which I purchased a month or so ago with a view to it being a daily wear (work in an office, wear a suit).To be honest I rushed into the purchase and have found I don't love the watch, mainly due to the bimetal aspect - I find it lacks a bit of versatility, and is perhaps too flash for everday work wear (meeting clients), and not flashy enough to be really special that only comes out a couple of times a month.....As such I have decided to trade it for a stainless daily wearer, and then save up for something else for weekend wear/special occasions (something in Rose Gold or White Gold, love the Daytona ref 116515 LN).My initial thought process was simply trade it for a stainless Daytona. This won't really cost me anything and I

WOW!!!!!! (Warning - Heavy Pics)
Continuation from: .rolexforums/showthread.php?t=250689I'm so excited I can't keep my pants on!! Much love to Oscar (BodyBump) who is the personal grey dealer for the normal guy. I've learned so much about horology from Oscar and he always knows what I really want. Not only a man of great style and taste but a gentlemen all the way around. If there is anyone who can provide the best service and would stretch for the extra mile for you it's Oscar. Great job Oscar and thank you so much for searching the skys and seas for my grail.I also want to thank Ken (SteelerFan65) and Thomas (TSW) for helping me understand why the Ti AP RBII watch is so special. And boy is it special!! I didn't know which pics to choose so why not show them all.

5167 for a 5164
My AD has a 5164a Aquanaut travel time he will sell me for $14,000 plus my Aquanaut 5167a. I love the 5164 but still also like my 5167. I know I should just buy the 5164 outright but I just don't want to spend $30k on a watch right now. Any thoughts?

Why Does Patek Do This?
Just wondering something about Patek. I have nothing but respect for the brand and for what they have invented over the years in the world of horology, But something is really making me Most people would agree when you see pressure pins holding together a watch bracelet instead of threaded screws, this is a less expensive and easier way to manufacture a watch bracelet. Threading screws and polishing them takes time and more money as apposed to a pressure pin.For those of you who don't know what pressure pins are, They are long thin steel pins that are smooth and have no threading on them. These pins are then pressure pressed into a hole of equal size thus holding together bracelet links. All the fine watches I have owned over the years, none used pressure pins anywhere on the watch or bracelet.I have just started developing my taste for patek's less conservative line, the nautilus collection. I like sportier watches and less dressy watches.Now, one thing I have noticed on patek's brace
