Would you do this trade?
Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted here, probably cause I haven't bought anything new and was fairly content with my small collection, which consists of a SubC, Speedy Pro and a 15202.I like my collection because the three are so different from each other and are all iconic models. Buuuut as you all know, the itch appears when you least expect it, and this time I'm itching for a Rose Gold Day Date 40mm. To get this piece I would flip the AP plus cash. I don't wear the AP as much cause I feel it's to delicate, you look at it the wrong way and it scratches, unlike the SubC or speedy which are bullet proof. So, I know it's my call, but what would you do? I'm also posting this in the Rolex forum to get both opinions. Thanks.

Speedmaster Professional strap wearers
I have a new Speedy Pro inbound, and wanted to ask you guys with straps if you prefer the standard clasp, or a deployant?Looking at all the pics posted in this forum, it's hard to tell what most of you guys are using.It appears that the deployant would be far easier to get the watch on and off, and cause less wear to the strap. However, I don't know if it is comfortable, secure, etc.Any help would be appreciated, ready to strap it on!Oh, and a HUGE thanks to Fr. John+ and his AD. Quite easily the most pleasurable and hassle-free watch purchase I have ever made.

Speedy in da House
Well after much to'ing and fro'ing I finally did it, thanks to Mike for answering all the daft questions, and to FBender and Monkeyman for letting me try on a Speedy.Speedmaster Pro 3573.50Not quite a moon watch because this one has a sapphire front and back but the movement went to the moon - sort of.Anyway, stunning watch and it fits like a glove.Pics Sorry 30+ in Perth today, should have cleaned the back before I took the photoNext I'll have to do a comparison reviewSpeedy vs the Zenith

If you want a 5131 ��
I think you need to be fast.Unfortunately you can't get one from your dealer anymore since they are discontinued.But on the secondhand market something is changing VERY fast.These is a site .watches.de, a well known dealer across Europe, probably in the rest of the world too because he really sells the high end and very hard to get stuff.He had 3 (THREE !!!) 5131 Patek 5131 in stock. And is it not the kind of dealer that advertises watches he does not haveAnyway …. look how fast it goes15 dec 2014 - .watches.de/en/products/se...aled-5131g-01030 jan 2015 - .watches.de/en/products/se...e-sealed-5131ganother 30 jan 2015 - .watches.de/en/products/se...old-5131j-29083 PP5131 sold in just 6 weeks !!!!These 3 watches were for sale since 6 months or so and suddenly they are all gone.Do more and more people know these are discontinued and has the hunt for the last pieces begun ?If Patek will not make an R or P …. I think you need to pull the trigger

Any reliable online stores for Patek Philippe?
Hi Folks, I am living in Burlington,VT. I am checking three models of Petek Philippe watches: 7041R 7010G 7120R and planning to get one of them for my wife. But it seems there is no Petek distributors nearby my area.... Can you guys recommend a online store with a good reputation for the Petek Philippe watches?Thanks!
