Help with 5146P Purchase!
Hello,I'm a long time lurker and a relatively new member here on TRF! I've made my way over to the Patek Discussion Forum a couple weeks ago and have been wanting a Patek since then . I'm currently in Seoul, South Korea visiting my parents and stumbled across a BNIB 5146 Platinum at a local vintage watch market for around $56,000 USD at today's exchange rates. It seems like a good deal considering the watch's MSRP is $68,700 USD, right? I'm an extreme newb to watches, especially Pateks and would love any advice or opinion you guys could give me. What should I be looking for/asking? I'm not worried about the authenticity of the watch as the dealer is a very established (~30 years) specializing in Pateks. Thanks for your help!

An early 3646 surfaced over a year ago on Ebay. It's now in the process of restoration.Read the article here: https://perezcope/2017/08/12/passion-for-panerai/CheersJose

Buying under the influence...
I was first on the list at my AD for the new Sea Dweller. I passed on the chance to buy it when I learned it was 43mm. I told them to call me the next time they received one. I got the call earlier today. I passed again. By the way, I can buy the watch new from the AD with a slight discount and no tax.I already own a dozen or more Rolex watches and a bundle of others. Why should I buy a watch that I find way too large and heavy...? Just because I can and not everyone can...? Or maybe I ought buy it because it is supposed to be so sought after ...? Is the all important deal maker the small print in red...? Or maybe because it'll be cool to post a picture here and get positive reinforcement...? After all, how many watches can a man wear...? As a matter of fact, what I like about Rolex watches over just about all others is that a Rolex is dependable and durable like no other. So one watch is enough and will last you just about forever. Isn't there something slightly pathol
