3570.50 or 35th Anniversary?
I've narrowed down my selection for a Speedmaster. The choice is now between the original or the 35th anniversary. At one point I had considered the Snoopy Dial especially after seeing Kringkily's ads but then realized I would probably keep it as a collector than actually wear it.The history behind the original model can't be beat but the white dial of the 35th is great to look at. It would be great to have both but I prefer only one version of each watch I purchase (sub, GMT, etc.). So which would you prefer?

Patek AD Price Negotiation
I am considering buying my first PP watch- a 5196g. I have an established relationship with an AD (purchased 5 Rolex watches from them in the past 2 years). As a general rule should I expect to pay MSRP or is there room for negotiation on PP watches? (I know this particular one is easy to obtain). If so, what percentage below MSRP would be considered reasonable?

Patek 5227r Pricing
I am no Patek expert but i came across a Patek 5227r this weekend from an local AD for $17,000. This seems like really good deal, i could only find (4) listing in the classified that were relatively old and were never updated as sold, is this not a popular model? Just looking for some opinions.

Still waiting on a stainless ceramic Daytona...
...so I got the white gold instead. Oh boy, was that the right call. Incoming below.I've got to say, the WG Daytona on Oysterflex is the perfect juxtaposition of old and new. It embodies everything that made the classic Daytona a smashing hit and wrapped it up into a 21st century package. The weighting and fit of this watch is absolutely perfect - it's heavier than one might imagine. It literally fit my 7 wrist perfectly right out of the display case with no adjustment. The OysterFlex bracelet is the most comfortable Rolex bracelet I've ever worn, hands down.And the dial...oh man. Quite possibly the best modern Daytona dial to date. It can vary from silver to a more gold hue, depending on the lighting. The black panda subdials and ceramic bezel create the perfect contrast to the light dial. Also, even though this watch is gold, it is so extremely versatile. You really don't need to worry about scratching the bezel or bracelet, which leaves just a few surface areas exposed.
