New AP owner question
Hey guys, I'm new here and just got my first AP. I got the ROC and I need to take 2 links out. I don't live near an authorized dealer and was wondering if you would trust someone else with it or if they even could. I'm going to Vegas in a couple weeks so I can always wait until I get there if I need to. Thanks for the help!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coffee table Books on Patek
I am in the midst of building a nice little library of books covering those watches owned in past or present. One notable absentee is a PP Nautilus or PP Steel watches. In keeping with their watch namesakes they seem to cost a fortune and On the basis It will be an occasional read it's not worth the money.I keep looking on eBay but have drawn blanks. Has anyone out there got a book they may be looking to sell or have tips were to look.

Moving towards a Patek-input needed
I have been a lurker/ intermittent commenter here for a many months. I am getting pretty close to becoming a Patek owner and am looking for assistance on how the models I am contemplating will fit into my new lifestyle- and my current watches.Please consider the following:I am 50. I work in a business casual environment-own a tech consulting company. I wear a suit from time to time, and wear shorts/jeans on Fridays-but wear dress slacks and dress shirt 3-4x per week. I am hoping to travel more extensively over the next few years for pleasure.My short list of Pateks is below:5270-classic, love them but on the edge of my watch budget-probably out5164-world time travel-pretty cool casual5712-could replace my SD4K as a daily for work+Below is a picture of my current stable of watches. These need to be paired down ASAP. Not for cost really, I just don't wear many of them.Any advice comments are welcome. Thanks,

422 vs 233 dome question
I have been curious on what are more distinct domeness of the sapphire crystal between 422 and 233. The website states that 422 has 3mm thick sapphire formed of corundum while 233 has 2mm thick sapphire. I only held a 233 up close and have not seen 422 in person. For my fellow WIS, who have seen both in person side by side, can you tell me which has more distinct domeness between the 2? probably also which crystal distorts less or more. Thank you all for the help and knowledge. Cholo
