Thoughts on Patek 5980 Nautilus Chrono?
Ok, I'm not a rich guy, but I do have just enough for a 5980 (pics are not of me). I have a few steel Rolexes too. I know people say Don't buy a watch as an investment; buy it because you like it but in my situation, if this watch will not hold it's current value (apprx $39,000 used) or appreciate slightly, I just cannot afford to buy it. Here are the factors that are floating around in my mind about this watch: It was one of two watches to feature Patek's new chronograph movement (along with the 5960p).It's now discontinued.Some don't consider Nautilus' a true Patek. Patek sports watches may increase in popularity as time progresses, due to their bulkier dimensions, like Rolex sports watches? My questions: Will the 5980 hold it's current $39,000 value and maybe even appreciate? Will it gain popularity? Blue or black dial?

Previously Polished 5124g?
I have been looking at the 5124g for some time now. I absolutely love the watch; I think it's sensational. However, at $27.2k new, I think it's a bit much, especially considering what they go for pre-owned, and I have not found anyone willing to come off that price too much. However, a Patek AD I work with from time-to-time tells me they just got a pre-owned 5124g in from a collector. I asked why it wasn't on their website yet and the salesman said well, because it hasn't been serviced and polished yet. Most of my pre-owned knowledge comes from the world of Rolex, where polishing is very bad. I told him that if the watch was newer, and depending on condition, I would definitely want it unserviced and not polished. Am I just misinformed and this is standard protocol? This is a very reputable Patek AD. He gentleman also said that depending on if our watchmaker is allowed to work on it or not, it will go back to Patek in Manhattan, or stay here with our watchmaker. Is there ever any way t

polished, brushed questions.
I'm interested in buying a Panerai. I am new to this brand as I just started to see the models in the photos I would like to know when talking about cases and bezel that there is a difference between polished steel and brushed titanium. I guess the polished is brighter but I want to be sure. I also do not understand when in 1351 they speak of polished titanium. Is it as bright as polished steel? Thank you.

Submariner vs GMT
Finally in the market for a new Rolex. I purchased my first one in 2001, a stainless and silver dial Datejust with a smooth bezel, when I got my first well paying job (I was 26) with the intention of keeping it forever and passing it along to my son when I had one someday. Well forever was shortened when it was stolen from my home (long story) in 2013. The Datejust garnered a lot of attention so I also purchased a Tag Monaco WW2110 as well as a Tag Monaco Steve McQueen Calibre 11 boutique edition as well both of which which I still have. My homeowners insurance paid for the stolen Datejust I never replaced it. Fast forward 17 years later and I finally have my 9 month old son and want another Rolex to pass down to him. I am deciding between a Submariner 116610, 114060 16610 (2001 same year as my first Rolex) or GMT 116710 black (I know Batman is more desired but don't care for the black blue combo), 16710 Pepsi circa 2001 as Magnum PI was my favorite show as a kid and is responsible fo
