Omega and Cartier Comparison
Since I have no experience with Omega and Cartier watches, are they both in the same class? In terms of movement, I would assume Omega has the upper edge. However, with brand recognition, resale value, reliability, design, and elegance, which would come on top?
Ooopps I did it again... watch incoming!
That is what I get for lurking here so much... I told myself no new watches this year... not a chance... will NOT spend the money ... but then I stumbled upon this evil thread:.rolexforums/showthrea...313#post981313The will is strong but the flesh is weak... especially after seeing Chips incredibel pics!Chris the seller & I sealed the deal today. I'll post pics once my new baby is on my wrist. These photos courtesy of Chris.Have a good weekend my friends,Ren
With Patek Philippe.....
... the devil is in the details.I would like to share some (poorly taken!) macros of one of my favorite watches on this relaxing Sunday afternoon. Seen close-up I realize that there are many hidden details in this magnificent watch. I think this is something that keeps many collectors coming back to this brand: great depth in line-up, rich history and the actual watch(es) worn on your wrist have a lot more than you may have initially expected!Enjoy the weekend guys.
Price for Patek Tang and Deployment clasp
Hi,As some of you may know I recently acquired a Patek Croc for my 5960/1a. I am really feeling this watch on the grey croc I purchased from European Watch Co in Boston. They did not have a Patek clasp or tang in stock so they gave me a generic tang. I am interested in purchasing a Patek deployment clasp. I went by my local AD and was quoted over $4,000 for one. It seems expensive to me. I was ready for somewhere in the $1500 range. I declined to purchase it and asked them to email me the price of the tang so I could decide which way I want to go. They never emailed me. Anyone familiar with pricing on the deployments (would rather have an oem deployment if possible but not at $4000) or tangs. And if different than what I was quoted where to get? Pic of 5960/1a on strap for those who haven't seen.
And it has arrived
It has arrived in all of its 47MM glory. The Pam 1305. I will say that it being about 10% thinner than the 305 is a big deal and the blue minute hand really sets it off. I would say to anyone looking for a dive watch to look at this or for the smaller wristed fellas the 42MM version. I believe this is about as good as it gets right here. I took more pictures but I cant seem to get them small enough to upload. Ill work on that later
