Possible Incoming
I am negotiating on one of these. Firstly, what do we think of it as a watch? It's a new piece, but has been sitting around in the dealer's window for some time. Secondly, any thoughts on pricing - at what price is it a no brainer? New price is USD270-ish.Thoughts appreciated.

Breitling and Bentley!
Does anyone own both a Breitling and a Bentley car?

I think it's rather nice.

5726 Bracelet observation...
Hi guys... Very happy shopping day yesterday as I got a call from my AD, where I had been on the wait list for the past two months for this beautiful Black dial 5726...Anyways, when I got home I noticed that the bracelet is different on my Black Dial 5726 compared to the white dial 5726.

My personal preference for Patek Philippe watches has always been their traditional dress watches, which many would de
