Travel watch advice
Newbie to forum. Plastic surgeon and live in s florida. I do a lot of lecturing on weekends to docs and staff. I fly commercial usually in jeans and lecture in sport coat/pants/button down no tie. Usually wear white gold daytona on strap but bored with it. Prefer pateks and have 5167,5146 white gold, 5070 white gold, and 3700 and few other vintage non pateks. 5167 too casual - love with shorts or jeans. 5146 too formal and 3700 and 5070 pretty much occasional wear safe queens. Thinking of trading daytona towards 5712 (white gold or steel) or maybe 5711 steel? Advice please? What goes with jeans as well as sport coat/slacks for lecturing? Thank you all for advice

So, 2 weeks ago I walk into this new-to-me AD. I browse their selection and see wow, they have a sub date in stock. I ask if it's available and they say oh yes, we have two in stock.So I buy it. Even get 5% discount.Anyways, I ask, just out of curiosity, about the availability of a few other pieces that are hard to get.They say maybe they can surprise me.Two days ago I get the call, went to pick it up today. 5% discount again.
