Anyways I need help because while I was looking in the dealer I realized although I'm a huge watch enthusiast that likes a variety of brands Patek seems to really make everything else I try on not so satisfying. Now I have two questions that I need advice on what to do to well round my collection. So my currently I stand with these beautiful watches: A Rolex Milgauss White dial, A Rolex Blnr, a Rolex 116520 Daytona, an Ap 15202 white dial 2014 dated so hard to find a late model white dial and of course last but not least my Patek 5711 blue dial. The two watches that really got me moving was A Patek Philippe 5726/a on a leather strap and a Patek Philippe 5960/1a just really was a stunner. So I'm to the point now that for a short period of time I'm not comfortable buy
