SIHH 2013 saw the introduction of Lange's 1815 Rattrapante perpetual calendar.?

5712 or PN Daytona??
Incidentally, I do not own a Rolex or PP yet. Future grails of mine would be a 5712 SS and/or a 6263 Daytona. I realize that the PN Daytona would be a long and arduous hunt to find an authentic piece in good condition. Additionally, some of these vintage pieces can be 6 figures, though I would shoot for one in the $40-80k range. The 5712 is well known by you all, and it is a classic Nautilus that I definitely will acquire one day. It will complete the Trinity in my collection (AP 15305OR and VC Overseas and Toledo 1952)Which would you go for first?Sent from my 16M
Question about the 5205
Why does the Date window alone have a gold frame around the window? Why not the Day and Month?
How Many Pieces In Your Collection?
I've been collecting for a while now, and while the eternal dream of being a one-watch man is not quite there yet, I have reduced my collection to three pieces. Three seems to be the magic number for me.I'm wondering what the magic number is for members here for their collection? Do you collect as many as you fancy, or is there a particular number where you start trading off existing pieces?For now, a 16660, 3800, and a 5010 will do for me. What about yourself?
Grey Dealers Margins
I was wondering if anyone has any information around grey market/second hand dealers margins what they are and why they are comprised this way?I am based in London and the majority of sellers are looking between 25-30% mark-up from the price they'll purchase a watch at to what they will list the watch for sale at.This seems quite high to me especially with watches which are still under Rolex warranty. I think bar checking authenticity and taking a few photos it seems odd require such a large mark up.I know each dealers will have overheads; staff, premises, employees etc but sometimes I wonder why they don't just list the watch at a lower price (tha most of the market) and take the instant profit rather than sit on them for a while to achieve these margins.Any dealers who could shed some light on this?
