First Patek Philippe purchase tomorrow.... Excited
After owning Rolex, IWC and Breitling for many years I'm now taking the plunge to the dizzy heights with a 5712G-00..... This watch has blown me away by the looks and everything about it after trying it on my wrist the other week (your thoughts on this watch would be appreciated). This is to be paid with some of my late fathers inheritance money he left to me... He wasn't a watch man but i feel this is something i feel right to do.... any photos of yours out there would be nice to view in the meantime... Wish me luck entering my pin number tomorrow..

i think the 5167 meets many of the criteria - thin- light- non ss bracelet, yet elegant sporty- darker contrast colours that work with shoes/belt/cuffs- under the radar / doesn't ooze look at meoverall a pleasing watch for the the quintessential gentleman who from time to time may happen to find himself in a setting where a dress watch is required

Crazy nylon strap day (pic heavy)
The purpose of this post is to demo how various Rolex models would look like when put on nylon strap. These are my personal choices and opinions. You may agree/disagree and/or like/dislike. I don't want to start a debate but you are welcome to post your own pictures.I personally found nylon strap most comfortable when comparing among, metal bracelet, leather and rubber. My wrist sweats a lot. It is really uncomfortable with moisture condensing under the bracelet, rubber or even leather strap. From time to time it gives me skin rash. I tried to wear my watch really loose to help the problem, but the downside is the watch head knocking around. Nylon straps have many advantages1. Very breathable(important for me)2. conform to the wrist better(good for some tricky wrist)3. CheapI refer to these straps as nylon strap because I cut off the additional loop pieces of every singe of them. I found it provides no real function but adding bulk and makes the watch head sitting higher on the wrist.

One month madness...
The last time I checked IG, some watch dealers reported on their December 2017 trips to Japan that NIB Daytona ref. 116520 were asking crazy prices.Is there any remedy to the Daytona madness? This price at Quark is of January 2018.

Ladies datejust oyster halflink
I can't seem to find the information anywhere. Do they make a half link in oyster bracelet for a ladies datejust 26mm. Apparently 2 link removed is too tight and 1 link removed is too loose.
