Two 1968 Omego's
I picked the 1968 Speedmaster up at a market a couple of weeks ago, a nice addition to the collection which sits well with my same year Seamaster

5712 love
Well the title says it all, after having it for 3 months, having been 1 month on vacation without it, I realize every day how awesome this watch is, my personal opinion of course but I must say I really love it, love the complications of moon phase and power reserve, love the bracelet, the movement with mini rotor.As some of you might remember about 5-6 months ago I knew about Patek but didn't really know why they were so expensive, and many of you answered me saying the quality, finition of the pieces were made to perfection, and I am glad I started to have interest towards PP, because yes the pieces are amazing.There is a big chance that I will only have 1 Patek, maybe at the maximum 2, probably the 5167 one day, but if only 1 I am glad to have the 5712, Patek with a funky dial display and a great grey/blue dial.So thanks to those who opened my eyes to the Patek world, like Morpheus tells Neo in the Matrix: welcome to the real world, I guess when you come into Patek and a few other w

PP 5127R Advice...
Hi All,I'm picking up my first PP next week... For a very long time, I've wanted this piece although I'm not sure if it'll hold its value well in say 4-5 years time.Admittedly I'm also tempted by a RG Day-Date and while it's certainly style over substance I feel it offers a bit more versatility considering it's on a bracelet and has no trouble being dunked in the sink.Right now I've got a steel Royal Oak and a RG Royal Oak on leather strap... I'm certainly leaning towards the Calatrava and would appreciate your advice...Thanks, M.

Rolex 16710 with 3186 Movement. Yes or No.
Hello TRF Friends,I'm not sure if this has been discussed recently. I did see a thread dating back to 2010/11, but nothing current. Now that we are in 2016 I thought I'd bring it up. Just wondering if people feel that the 16710 GMT with 3186 movement is worth the premium. In most cases, they run about almost double what a non-3186 would go for. My understanding is that the late Z serial and M serial's were fitted with a 3186 movement along with either a stick or rectangular dial. I've also read that there were only about a total of 30,000 pieces made this way. In the grand scheme of things, they are very rare and extremely hard to find. Especially recently. I've searched pretty much all forums and other places like watchrecon and eBay and there are only a hand full, but only one complete set that comes with a ridiculously high price. Having said that, I just wanted some opinions on whether you feel the extra premium is worth paying. I've set up a poll, so feel free to vote and give me
