5131 - what's the best way of getitng one?
I met my friend and her family for brunch today. Her dad is a huge Patek collector (gets invited to those dinners T Stern holds every year in Asia), and he was wearing his 5131j. I've never seen one in real life before that.I never quite understood the hype surrounding the 5131 before this, but now that I've seen it, I've decided that some form of leather strapped 5131 (don't mind gold or plat) will be my next watch.The question is, with the 5131r being discontinued as of this March, what's the best way to get one? Wait for the successor of 5131 once the 5131p is discontinued, or hunt the resell? I don't mind waiting a couple of years.

Incoming Aquanaut!
i traded in my 5167 for the 5164, as I figured it would come in handy while travelling. Its nearly as comfortable, and i like not having the date at 3.

Happy Sunday driving
