Tried out this beast today!!!
Royal oak tourbillon, felt like a solid brick of elvish craftsmanship. A great size at 41mm and the dial/case are a match made in heaven. The bracelet is thin, yet strong and well engineered (obviously haha) it also finds a way to drape nicely (hard to tell here cause my wrists are small!) without feeling flimsy at all. I am a fan of the royal oak, always have been, but this peice far surpasses the feeling of specialness I get from most models. I dubbed it the golden snitch it just seems to fit. What do you guys think? Worth the 200k price tag? Or would you go with the concept GMT tourbillon?

Diver question . .
When setting the time on my AP Diver - the minute hand always moves when pushing the crown in to set the time. Is this normal?Thanks,Jeff

What happened to the 5131 175G?
There was a great looking 5131 for the 175th anniversary but it isn't on the Patek site and there doesn't seem to be any news of this ever coming out or not coming out. Does anyone know what happened to it?

Tortured logic is leading me to the Platinum Daytona
I'm sure you hardened veterans have seen this a million times - a Rolex newbie trying to talk himself into doing something crazy...There is nothing rational about wanting a 116506, but here is the twisted logic I have created for myself, after going back and forth for several months now:1) The watch I spend the most $$$ on should be the one I wear the most. Therefore, a precious metal daily wearer.2) If it is going to be a daily wearer, then it has to be able to stand up to the abuse. Therefore, a sub/daytona/gmt.3) If it is going to get scratched up from daily wear, I need to be able to polish it on occasion without having to worry about wearing away the metal. Therefore, platinum. I can appreciate the patina, but then I can polish it back up and appreciate the bling every now and then. Ergo, must get Platinum Daytona. Oh yeah - and I also think it is a stunner, and I like the heft of it. And I can go back to my BLNR if I ever come to my senses.How does this sound? Am I missing anyth
