Watch Winner Follow-Up: Wryst Airborne FW3
This is a follow-up review from Derique Y. in Singapore, winner of the Wryst Airborne FW3 Limited Edition watch giveaway on watches-dealer in May.I've been following watches-dealer (formerly aBlogtoRead) for many years now, lapping up sweet images of watches that I could probably never afford, and half the time trying to imagine that hairy arm of Ariel's is mine instead.Every now and then, watches-dealer will throw out a watch for someone to win. Participating was simple, commenting on the post and liking some pages. I once commented on a giveaway and just like every other lucky draw I've participated in, I always came out empty, little surprise. Then there were other giveaways that I never bothered with simply because I could not care less about those watches.. dull and bland with no ounce of uniqueness.One day, along came a wildly designed watch from WRYST, in striking green and black. The case was unique; flared exoskeleton in DLC coating protecting the crown and pushers. I like big

My First AP Experience
I went to a local AP AD while visiting my parents in Naples, FL today.I never saw an AP Royal Oak 15400 in person and had to try one on. Before I had seen it in person, I was skeptical of what others had seen in this watch. The pictures did not thrill my soul or create the I must have this - I NEED THIS! syndrome that I have been inflicted with when seeing other watches on line. As I took off my newly acquired Hulk and placed the silver dial RO on my wrist, I became enamored with this exquisite timepiece. The watch and I took to each other the way Thor and his hammer must have when they first met.Now, the dilemma has set in. I have found my grail (or maybe it has found me) and have to think about how I can eventually acquire one. I know that of the 4 Rolex watches I own, the EXP II would be the first to go. Then I am guessing that my PAM 048 would be next. That still is not enough to come close to financing my silver cloud grail.Oh the joy and agony of truly finding your grail and the

Possible price increase in the US???
I know the 5711/5712 has a price increase.I am on a waitlist for the 5167a from an AD. Is there any good info that a price increase may be coming across the board for PP at Basel for the United States market?

Patek Geneva
A few of us from this forum are off to Geneva next week for 5 days at Patek. 15 North American collectors were invited by Patek, Henry Stern Agency, and the best damn AD in the US to do this trip. We were very blessed and fortunate to be among the 15. We will do our best to document everything we are allowed to. VC is going to give me some do’s and don'ts over the weekend. Frem is also going to give me tutoring on how to photo document a trip. In no way should anyone think we will live up to Frem, but we will do our best. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. It is a bit of a pilgrimage for me.
