I want to wear a diamond
Recently, as per a thread that I started in the other Watch Topic section. I was thinking of getting a Rolex DD. To do that I would have to trade one of my Pateks -5127R or 5167A.Well, after a lot of thought and reading what other members said, I decided NOT to go with that idea.But then I happen to see Jorge's photo of his stunning 5146P and I was in horology love:banged:And the thought of getting one - ultimate PM marked by a diamond at 6 o'clock got me excited.As I would have to sell/trade + cash both of mine.What do others members think?Bad idea or not?Please feel free to include photos, just to help

5711 or 5170?
My final watch (I'm 65 yrs old) will be a PP, my first foray into Pateks. I currently own a Hulk and WG Daytona meteorite, new from AD's, and am very happy with both of them.Assuming our move to the West coast works out financially, I figure I''ll splurge on my grail. I like both the 5711 blue dial and the 5170 (silver-tone metal). I'm not keen on ACs and PCs, etc. I realize resale on 5170's suck, but this will not be resold and I'll try to buy at a good price. Sorry, I don't know how to post photos of these watches since I don't own them.I don't care about minor scuffs and scratches.I have small wrists and that weighs in my decision. It does not need heavy water resistance. I want the PP to admire the mechanism. 5711 would have metal bracelet; 5170 leather band.Questions:Can I order a small band for the 5170 to properly fit my 6 wrist?As my first PP, should I go with a boutique, or can I use DavidSW or another TRF seller?I am completely retired, so rarely dress up. I plan on r

Thoughts on this addition?
Here's the state of my collection today: I have a 5711 (blue dial of course) on hold at my AD. Thinking about adding it and selling off the Diver. 5711 too repetitive or the perfect addition?Thanks all!
