Would you trade?
Dear all!Normally a bit active in the patek section... I currently have two nautilus, one 5712 and one 5711 (white). Would you trade the 5711 plus 2000 usd in cash against an offshore carbon 44mm (2013)?Also would appreciate any comments around this new off-shore range. Regards

Patek 5167A Clarification Needed
Hello all-I'm currently going back and forth between purchasing this watch.There are 2 questions that keep coming up in my head and I've tried looking all over but end up a little more confused the deeper I dig.1. I don't have any other watches so this would be it. Would the 5167 stand up to the daily wear and tear of other 'dive' watches like the Sub C? I feel like there are 2 camps, one says that this would be a great daily full time watch. The other says, it is too delicate and wouldn't be able to take 'normal' everyday use.Can anyone whose owned this watch shed some light on this?2. I've heard that this model has had a bad rap with winding issues and not keeping time that great. Has anyone experienced this?Thanks again for the help!

Another "Advice for Panerai Newb" thread
Hi, I've admired Panerai for a long time from afar, but recently I'm becoming seriously interested and I think my next piece will be a Panerai. Seeing pics of the 690 really got me excited...I love everything about it except that my preference would be for a mix of brushed and polished surfaces. Here are some different things I'm looking for in my first Panerai:-44 to 47mm-sapphire crystal (preference for highly domed)-display back-seconds hand-NO date-sandwich dial-no wire lugs-at least some brushed surfaces-preference for manual wind but automatic isn't a deal breaker-preference for full 3, 6, 9, 12 dial but missing 9 isn't a deal breakerI'm open to new or preowned. I'm not sure which case size/style I prefer...I'm planning to visit a boutique to try them out on the wrist soon. The number of different models is definitely intimidating! Any advice on which models I should consider given my preferences? Some I've found so far are 127, 422, 510, 572, and 619...(and the 690 would b

HELP! Purchasing my first Rolex
Hi all Rolex aficionados! I am quite a newbie in this forum - a newbie to Rolex really. I have always wanted one. I could never pull the trigger - until now. I have come into good stride in my career and I thought what better way to mark this than buy the long coveted dream watch!I am a lady and my choice is the 31mm with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. After that, I am stuck . I cannot for the life of me, decide on the dial. After trying on different dials in AD, I may have narrowed it down to:1. SS with bronze dial with diamond on VI (technically, this is actually two-tone as the bezel is white gold, but for this purpose, I just put SS)2. Two-tone Everose gold in sundust/pale pink dial with diamond markersI suppose my question is - what would you go for - SS or TT? Plus what do you think of the everose? It's really pretty, but someone commented to me that it is on the way out as YG is coming back ? Your thoughts much appreciated!

Rolex Warranty Card Differences- Transitional?
Posted on the other website, but will maybe get a faster or more informed answer here....So, I am on the hunt for another Rolex and I am noticing some differences in the warranty cards for what appear to be the same model. Some have just the serial # and model. Others have that plus the actual description of the dial color (and bracelet?) In this case it's a DJ41. Was this a transition thing from the DJII to the 41? Thanks.
