Would you make this trade for a PP 5712?
I currently own a FP Journe Chrono Blue, Rolex BLNR, and a 5167a. Would you trade the FPJourne Chrono Blue + BLNR + $5k cash for a new PP 5712?What say the all-wise TRF members?

Pam 88 over weekend
I'll post pics later, but for years I've been told not to like panerai. The Watch Snob columns and others around the net bemoan in-house movements vs eta... faked history, and so on. I visited a rolex AD intent on buying a blnr gmt rolex and the blnr just didn't do it for me. The salesguy said I should consider panerai, or asked if i would. I scoffed a bit but noticed a gmt panerai. I had been to this AD before and always walked past panerai without a glance, straight to the rolex cases. I spied the pam 88, but didn't know it was an 88, 111, 123, or 123456 model.. I held it, loved it, then looked at 5 other pams... i wasn't supposed to like, much less LOVE panerai. But i do, and did. I loved the strap, layout, dial, and cosc certification. . Furthermore, a watchmaker/customer happened by and commented how easy an eta or valjoux movement is to service. I adored the pam 88 and it wore far better on my wrist than the sub c or gmt. I bought the pam 88 and am now a lifelong pam fan. Funny

Interested in a Panerai - questions.
I own a Rolex blue YM (116622) and am possibly interested in a Panerai, just to add something different. I'd like a Luminor with a date (Ideally with date bubble), an in-house movement, and a display back. From what I can tell on the website, that does not exist?The 1950's luminor does not have a date bubble and the newer versions don't seem to have a display back?

Baselworld 2018 new models.
Given that Rolex like to tell us it takes a year to make a single watch.I was wondering when the new Basel 2018 watches would have been giventhe green light to start the production run for release to the market in 2018.I understand there will probably be a certain amount of modular design going on, for all the obvious reasons. Couldn't help pondering what the lead time would be for the thousands of 'All New' parts required for Baselworld 2018 releases?Any Rolex 'moles' logged in, for a 'horses mouth' opinion?
