Picked up a silver Colt recently
Makes an interesting alternative to my Sub...about the same size, dresses up or down equally well. This is my first experience with a polished bracelet and the verdict is not in yet, but I'll give it time to see if it grows on me. If it doesn't, I might have to consider getting it brushed.

Wolves in NJ and Patek to the Rescue
This afternoon I picked up my shiny new 5522 and headed home to enjoy a beautiful fall day. I took my trusty 13 year old rescue dog Bella for a walk in the woods. I heard a rustling sound in the bushes and suddenly I was confronted by an aggressive and large Wolf. Please follow photos below I started to back away and my heart sank as I realized we were surrounded by an entire pack of vicious canines. They circled in a coordinated and choreographed manner as Bella started to growl back defensively.I began to panic as the alpha male started to close the gap between us. I suddenly noticed the sun ray cascading off of my 5522. I aimed it at the eyes of Kujo. As if awe struck by the sheer magnificence before him, he rolled over, whimpered and assumed a prone submissive position.While the 5522 has already received wide acclaim, I am here to confirm that the PP 5522 has the capacity to tame entire packs of apex predators and will result in the owner assuming the role of leader of the pa

5980 collection pointer!
A couple of weeks ago i was offered a 5980 in trade for my 5164A plus ��.For one reason or another that did not happen but i ended up selling the 5164 anyway as i had decided i really wanted a 5980.As it stands now i have the chance of another one with a black dial which is my preferred option.However i still need to lose one of the collection to make this happen and keep going round in circles as i wear them all about the same,so here it is.I want one of these.But need to lose one of these.I could keep them all but would have less funds in the bank than I'm comfortable with.Alternatively i buy another 5164A and be done with it!Any input would be appreciated as i'm going crazy as none of them are 'That' easy to replace.Thanks,Craig

Apparent Rolex Strategy and Predicting Basel Releases
Looking back at the last two Baselworlds, I can see at least one strategy or pattern in Rolex vis-a-vis Rolex sports models. Is Rolex trying to drive a stake through the heart of the Rolex vintage market? I think Rolex is using Tudor and updates to select Rolex models to erode demand for vintage models with the most buzz: e.g., Tudor has an obvious vintage motif, the datejust with jubilee, SD with red lettering, and now Pepsi with jubilee. What says TRF?

Next move - Please help!
Hi AllI have a question which I've been thinking over for the past few weeks. Initially, I thought it was crazy but I'm becoming more and more certain about going ahead with it. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.My current Rolex collection consists of: DaytonaC White, SD4K, GMT II BLNR, GMT 16700 pepsi and a Hulk (incoming). Im thinking of trading all of these for a Daytona Platinum. Given I want to minimise the amount of cash I need to add, the Platona will be second hand.So far I see the positives as:-Consolidation/ simplification of my collection is good as the novelty of choice is waring off for me-I would love to be a one watch person (that will never happen but maybe one Rolex will)-I get (in my opinion) the ultimate RolexThe swap would leave me with some affordable beaters, a Royal Oak and a TAG Heuer Monaco (neither of these two can be traded).I guess my questions are:1.Would you do the trade if you were in my position and2.Can you recommend any UK based dealers to spea
