5711 vs ap ro?
Dear TRF members.I apologize for creating a thread that has been discussed previously.Whilst trying to add another piece, I find myself really confused between the legendary Patek 5711 blue dial, and the Audemars piguet jumbo 15202.Both stunning as most will agree, and the price difference is not an issue as I am already spending quiet a large amount on either.I really love the dial of he 5711, coupled with its rarity, but also like the presence of the RO.Another thing the Patek has, which may sound stupid, is the fact that it is a Patek.I don't mean to say AP is not a great brand, we all know how incredible they are, and I definitely don't think they offer less in terms of quality, but I can't help but feel that Patek is a different league, and one that many aspire to achieve.Which would you pick? Only one choice of course. Appreciate your help, and I am genuinely really glad to have found this forum!I must add that I own a SS Rolex for an everyday use, a speedy that was a gift, and a

My First Panerai - Radiomir PAM210
I thought long and hard and did a lot of research before choosing this piece, which for me probably best represents Panarai's great history. I also much prefer the Radiomir case to the Luminor, even if it isn't as iconic today. It's a really comfortable watch to wear, fits me well for a 45mm, and I'm really enjoying the change of pace which a two hander offers. It's a 2009 model and I don't know much about its history, but it's in excellent shape and looks solid on my Timegrapher (+6 s/d, nice even lines), so very happy with this purchase. I did think about the more modern 610, but wanted a sandwich dial, and the ease of servicing (and better looks in my opinion) of the ETA/Unitas 6497 movement over the in-house version appealed to me. I also enjoy winding my watches so an eight day power reserve on the newer watch is actually a drawback for me!I've already bought a couple of (cheap) straps ... now considering at least one good quality hand made one.

Duty Free ADs in Seoul, South Korea
Hello Rolexers,I currently live in South Korea and looking to get a Rolex in about 6 months. I did some research and been reading on here. I see that Duty Free places can have cheaper Rolex prices than ADs in the states. Will I be able to still bargain with them for a discount? If so, what's a good starting point for discount?- Cheyenne
