First Time AP Purchase
OK...after nearly a month of contemplating finally pulled the trigger on my first AP and getting real anxious I hope this turns out to be the experience I have been waiting for.Huge kudos to one of our great trusted sellers Takuya!

Help with possible first Patek - Need a push
So to make a long story short, I have been lusting after a 5711/1a blue dial for a while, and if they weren't so difficult to find sealed from an AD or even at retail from a trusted seller I would probably have one already but the difficulty finding one is really holding me up. Recently it dawned upon me that if I buy this watch, I won't be able to buy another substantial piece for at least 6 months without the wife cutting off parts of me that I would prefer to keep. So what do I do? Continue my almost religious flipping of watches that gives me oh so much satisfaction or just shell out the cash? Current Collection: 116520 Daytona White Dial 116710 Blnr116610 Sub-C Black Explorer 1 - 39mm67' 5513 Meters FirstTudor Snowflake Blue Date - 81' unpolished Omega Speedmaster 2998-4 I would happily part with the explorer and sub-c and then likely sell the Tudor to bridge the gap a little more. Opinions Needed! Thanks TRF

I blame Mike and his new 372 thread. Incoming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again to Mike and his 372 thread and it reminded me how much I needed the 190 AGAIN! This itch took about 5 years to scratch and man... it feels sooooooooooooooooooooo good to finally scratch it! Few bumps along the way with a career change and after some level of stability, I am finally back with this baby. Man.. is it worth the wait! Legendary butter smooth winding is head on and the combination of the gold hands with the rad case is silky sleek to look at... what a beautiful piece. Thanks again to Yoel and Ken for making this happen! Great weekend to all our good friends here! Best, Fred/NJ

Rolex in India. Pricing...
Are they allowed to add a premium for hard to get references? They advised they can most references within 10 months with a 25% deposit.This was a conversation over the phone though. I will go to the boutique in Chandigarh I'm the next few days...and report back.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wait Lists & UK Data Protection
I spoke to an AD here in the UK today about going on a wait list for a no date sub. I was told that I have to come into the branch in person next week as Data Protection Rules now preclude personal info lists (name, telephone, email etc) being kept in any form other than digital. The shop manager also told me that she is contacting all the other people on the list as they are also now required to make an appearance to keep their place.Has anyone else experienced this?
