Would you trade?
Dear all!Normally a bit active in the patek section... I currently have two nautilus, one 5712 and one 5711 (white). Would you trade the 5711 plus 2000 usd in cash against an offshore carbon 44mm (2013)?Also would appreciate any comments around this new off-shore range. Regards

2569/1 Calatrava - enamel dial issue - minute markers
Hi guys,I'm new here, so let me firs introduce myself. My name is Jan form Croatia, I'm a big vintage and contemporary watch collector. Got some nice watches that will be posted in other topics.As a crown of my collection last week came PP 2569/1 in red gold. It was a rare opportunity to get it, mint case, clear movement and dial that made me thinking about it. Then I found many watches with similar dial, one on this forum, and started my research. Many claim it's redial, most without any knowledge about vintage Patek and dial production in 50's. What I found; those dials are made by enamel, so it quite a complicated work with baked dust. One jeweler told me that the only way to make those minute markers was drilling holes in finished dial, by hand explaining the inperfection, and filling them later. His opinion is that corrosion through 60 years made those turquoise color and black rings around. All dials I found look too similar, have too perfect fonts, and are on other parts of the

Dilemma. Help!
Hello guys,I am looking to make a purchase but couldn't actually decide which way to go for. I got my 5550p as my first Patek a few months ago and now looking to add a second one.So my question is ;5960p + Richard Mille RM 30 Black Out vs 5270GThe cost of both scenarios will be really close to me. I really thought about 5270G before purchasing my 5550p but went with 5550p since it was a 300 limited version. But I still have my mind at 5270G. But I also want a blue dial watch (not necessarily a Patek) and a Richard Mille in my collection.And one more question, I was wondering if 5270G will be replaced any time soon or is expected to lose any value? I'd not want the value to decrease sharply after 1-2 years of my purchase.What do you guys say?Thank you!Salih

Rolex at Costco? Rolex at Costco.
I've heard of Rolexes being randomly stocked at Costco, but had never seen one in the wild before today. Here's an 18K/SS DJ with a silver dial set with diamonds. If I'm reading Rolex's website correctly, this DJ retails for $12,350. Still a bit surprising to see these at Costco (also note the Omega box in the background - they had two ladies Seamasters).
