Valentine's Day rush
We guys know (generalizing here) about last minute present. Yesterday I was walking around trying to find a gift for my wife. My phone suddenly rang and I was engaged into a about 8 minute conversation and somehow wandered as I was still on the phone into a AD. (You know how you walk around while on phone)There was a big crowd there already because of the recent price decrease. I picked up a blue Twenty-Four 4910/10A-012 for my wife. Perhaps the lesser sought after right now of the price drop in terms of counting dollars, the higher value watches seem to fly out the door not to mention the Nautilus and Aquanaut.After this transaction, I nonchalantly asked for a 5167, any of them. She said it may be your lucky day because a new shipment arrived just 30 minutes ago as these have been flying out the doors past few days. She pulled out a 5167-1A-001 and just had to buy a Valentine's Day present for myself too.This would be a good piece alternating between my Daytona 116520 black dia
A visit to the AD
Went to my AD to drop off my 5711. It developed the sticking date issue. I guess I won't see it until next year.I did get to play with a few pieces and wanted to share with you guys. I tried on the 5890r and the 5164. Both amazing pieces and I can see both pieces in my collection in the future. I love the heft of the 5980 but Patek did an amazing job matching the RG case with the dial and strap. I like the 5164's added thickness and heft compared to the 5167. So my list for my next Patek keeps getting longer: 5164, 5205g, 5170g, and 5960p. Which one should be next?

How long is too long to wait for Blue SkyD?
My AD, who has been great up to now, is telling me that for this watch it could be over a year WITH A DEPOSIT as almost 10 people already have deposits down.
Nightmare about your watch?
Have you ever had a nightmare about a watch you owned? I just had one last night about my new Sub. I still feel slightly ill about it, lol. At one point in the dream, I noticed that somehow I had two sets of HUGE dents on the bracelet. I then took it to a jeweler (for some reason) who proceeded to pry at it with a screw driver doing more damage. Eventually they broke off a piece of a silicon like circuit board with some secret number inside the case (no idea what that's about, it's a dream it's not supposed to make sense) and send me back to my original AD for help. That's about the time my alarm went off. It was bloody terrifying. How about you, any similar nightmares with untold watch destruction?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
