GIVEAWAY: Egard Shade Black Automatic Watch
This month on watches-dealer you have an opportunity to win a limited edition (of just 50 pieces) Shade Black automatic watch by Egard. The brand is a father and son team who work out of Los Angeles and Toronto. The Shade Black is meant to be a contemporary dress watch, offering a unique take on classic themes. Though Egard does suggest the Shade Black "can be worn with just about anything."At 43mm wide, the steel case is in PVD black and contains a skeletonized Japanese Miyota automatic movement (a caliber 8N24). Some of the movement can be viewed through an open window on the dial, and more of it via the sapphire crystal case back window on the rear of the watch. The Shade Black is water resistant to 200 meters (pretty good for a causal watch), and comes on a black leather strap with deployant clasp. Retail price for the limited edition of 50 pieces Egard Shade Black is $1,295 and you can enter for a chance to win one below. egardwatcheswatches-dealerTo Enter You Must: 1. Comment on

5726/1A at list?
Yes, yes, I've said I wouldn't buy PP until they cleaned up their servicing act. I'm getting caught up in the pricing bubble.AD is offering 5726/1A at list. Now, or within days/a week.When I've seen these sell used before, they seem to lose $8k-10k on resale. Any reason to expect better value retention going forward?Should I buy or pass? Watch would be a white dial, new with my name on papers.I can get the same deal on a 5712r, but not interested in that watch.Thanks!

Saw this piece at a Patek AD Exhibit

Questions about Patek deployant buckles
I see some of the older PP5960 come with the chevron buckle and the newer ones with the Calatrava cross. Besides aesthetics was there a reason for the switch? What year did Patek make the switch. Thanks!
