April Fool: 5712G or 5164
Hi allFirst of all thanks to all of you who replied to my thread with regards to choosing between a 5712 and a 5164. Really helpful comments.I got a msg from my AD about a week ago telling me that I had been allocated a 5712G that was to arrive on April 1.I still hadn't decided between the 5712G and the 5164. I told my AD contact I was probably leaning towards the 5164 however I didn't want to miss the opportunity to see the Nautilus in the flesh so in I go to check it out. I'm the first customer in the door. I look at the 5712G from every angle for quite a while. It's a beautiful piece but it just wasn't singing to me... I wanted to look cool like Paul McCartney and George Soros! 😉 So I tell the AD that I just can't do it and will wait for the 5164. He asks me if I'm sure and I say yes. He signals to his co-worker and within 30 seconds out she comes with a double sealed 5164! He says surprise! April Fools! Wasn't sure if I was annoyed or ecstatic or both. Probably both! Anyway

Patek event. (Warning pic heavy)
So, tonight I had the honour, fortune and joy of attending a Patek event at my local AD, they had a combination of fine food and champagne, and the watches that dreams are made of. Basel 2016 releases and classics (Except 5711). One of the staff kindly reminded me that the chances of having this volume of pieces in the same room together again are slim to none. So i was encouraged to seize the opportunity and enjoy it! Pictures below for you all to enjoy. I would love to upload all the pictures I've got but I've got loads. So instead here's what I've considered my favourites!Quality isn't great but that's mostly the lighting. Enjoy!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Favorite modern Daytona
I know this topic has been beaten to death regarding the stainless pieces, black v. white and everyone has their favorites....But....let's expand this poll a bit to include PM Daytonas. There are a number of new PM Daytonas in the last couple years that have been causing quite a stir, the Oysterflex models in particular seem to be very popular.If you could only have ONE modern Daytona, which would it be and why?

where can I get a replacement Jubilee bracelet
When I went to service my SS and gold datejust from 1981, I was floored. If I did the work and replaced the necessary parts, the cost was much more than I paid for the watch new. Not surprised.But I do want to replace the bracelet (62523, 20mm) which is stretched. Any suggestions where I might find one at a reasonable price.Also, I assume the old bracelet has some value--the gold in it and the Rolex clasp. Any ideas what this may be worth on a trade in?ThanksJeff
