Custom strap for AT 8500 - step by step
Posted on other forums but I know there's a lot of AT love here.1. Acquire the right watch - AT 8500 Golf2. Choose the color of alligator hide. I was even able to choose which part of the hide to use for best scale patterns. Kay at Ekamon straps is great to work with at customization.3. Choose color of stitching4. Choose the size and hole placements - I did not need all the extra holes!5. Exchange emails to confirm, patiently wait to make your strap, patiently wait to be shipped from the other side of the world....then enjoy. I had a feeling it would turn out OK. The green stitching is subtle but matches the golf green of the watch perfectly. The matte brown is just right to contrast against the black dial. Just enough to make it interesting. Thanks for looking.

Wedding Watch
Got married earlier this year and wore my Patek Philippe Nautilus to mark the occasion. Has anyone else tied the knot while wearing a Patek? Or any nice watch for that matter.

Cold feet on putting the money on a SS. Do it anyway?
Hey guys.Just a quick update from hunting for a 5711. This was quicker than I had expected, and I have found a good friend's cousin that is looking to sell his almost brand new (bought under 2 months ago) 5711 blue dial.He is asking a fair $24,000USD, which is the price he bought it for. I don't expect a deal on this piece.I was really looking hard to find it, and now that I have, for some reason I am having cold feet putting that amount on a SS watch.A friend told me that the watch doesn't look nearly worth how much I am paying for, and that made me re-assess.Am I going to regret not buying this one though?I must say I do love the watch; Just can't help but think I could be getting some precious metal or so for that amount. Or even adding two more SS watches.My only other watch is a Rolex Sub btw. I think the duo with the Patek should be perfect still and cover all bases.Suggestions?

Does this sub look right to you?
Relatively new to this world and stumbled across this watch for sale. I've looked at it and nothing has popped out to me as a red flag so I thought I would pose this question to those with wiser eyes than mine before contacting the seller. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
