5711/1a availability
Lately I've been considering to add a 5711/1a to my collection. But living in Australia, our lack of ss models from rolex's to pp's are very very limited so I was thinking of getting it overseas when I travel, most likely hong kong or europe or britain.

So I was wondering what the availability of the 5711/1a model is in other countries. Thanks

Less Formal PP for a younger guy
Hi PP forum,I have been looking a while at PPs. I've always loved the Calatrava, but I'm still in my mid/late 20s and the most formal I ever dress is chinos & a dress shirt, never a suit, so I think the model would not really suit me that well.

But still something that is a little chunkier and will suit a casual dressing younger guy going out to a nice dinner, etc.It won't be my daily, any gold or platinum is fine, I can't go for anything over ��30k ($50k) brand new list price. Any o

Hate to ask this ��What to Wear?�� question
But here goes...I travel a lot on business and pleasure, to major cities in the US and Europe, never have any reservations about jewelry or a nice watch on my wrist. Next month I'll be in Frankfurt, Munich and London with a long weekend in Bologna, Italy. That's where I'm uncertain, never been before, traveling by myself. I'm undecided - SS DateJust, fluted/oyster, Explorer or Breitling Avenger on blue rubber strap. Not losing sleep over it, just curious what other travelers think. Thanks.
