New Arrival Tomorrow!!!
Hi Guys,It's been almost two years since I sold my first Omega to fund my GMT Master II. Everyday since then I have regreted it and have wanted to purchased another as soon as I could afford it. Well, tomorrow Fedex will deliver a package to my door!! I can't wait for the feel of an Omega on my wrist once again! The unvailing will be tomorrow!!!

When did you first start down the Patek road?
Hi folks,Although I've always had a fine appreciation for watches it's really been the last 5-6 years that I've been serious about collecting and learning about this crazy addiction. Actually I can tell you the exact date, 8/10/2011, the day I joined TRF Ive been all over the globe when it comes to brands and it's been a very fun journey discovering what I like and what I dislike. For all the various brands that I've owned I've always clung to Rolex as my core. But recently I've felt that I have acquired all that I need from Rolex and I've been really drawn to what Patek has to offer. I was lucky enough to acquire a 5711 white dial from my AD recently. I hate to say this but I just wasn't able to bond with it. I didn't even post an incoming because I knew it wasn't a keeper. Since then I've tried on a 5712 and a 5146 and I really loved everything about those watches. I'm pretty sure my next watch will be the 5712 or maybe the 5712r (or both) and I'd like to acquire the 5146r later on.

Thoughts on a rose gold bracelet versus a leather strap?
Hi folks, Please share your take on the aesthetics, the style, the wearability, and everything that goes into a gold bracelet on a dress watch versus a strap. It's much appreciated, thanks!I'm looking at something like this:VersusSomething like this:

Agree
Evening all,I saw a thread on here not long ago entitled 'Patek owners - what do you do for a living ?'Basically to see if there is a similarity in your occupation.User Jon_Jon said a better question would be 'how many people have inherited their wealth vs. how many are self-made, to purchase a PP'So I ask, which are you? If you are self-made, what do you do for a living?Personally, My father took over his company 2 years ago, it's a very consistent company, maintaining a high profit. He gave me the capital I needed to start my own company in the defence industry, to which my company began to grow and grow. I paid him back within a year and bought myself a GC 5970G. What about you?

Stuff ADs say...
Thought I'd start a thread on hilarious or outrageous things people here have been told by ADs, or overheard at them.A couple of mine:- The D500 white dial is going to be discontinued in 2018- There's a price increase coming next month, so buy now (October 2017)- Datejusts are hot sellers, no discount is available- This year's short supply of Rolexes are because it takes a year to make themI was also once told a story of how someone committed to buy a $180,000 Rolex, but only on condition he be supplied with 2 D500s, one black and one white dial. The AD produced the watches, and then the guy was like I don't want to buy the $180,000 one anymore, but I'll take those two!
