Can you negotiate
I am considering buying the PO 42mm but the online price I can find is ?250 cheaper than the high street stores. Can you negotiate with high street chains or are they unable to offer discounts? I would prefer to buy from a known high street shop but ?250 is a big difference in price.

Patek 5167 overpriced or just me?
So I'm contemplating getting an aquanaut. Beautiful, quality, versatile piece. My one hesitation is that it feels a bit over priced. I mean we're talking 3 hands, a date and a rubber strap. I get that it holds value and is supreme quality and all that, but how much of it is simply marketing and brand name? I can spend a couple more grand and get a beautiful white gold Daytona, which is precious metal, more complicated, and a beautiful, high quality piece as well. They al hold their value if you get it at the right price.Don't get me wrong, I love the 5167, but I feel like it should be priced $5k less. My wife used to be in fashion and I would always say, how does Versace charge $400 for a t-shirt, it's ridiculous! She would go into the arguement about the quality and craftsmenship and exclusivity and all that. Now I ask her and she agrees, you're paying a lot of extra purely for the brand, it's all just marketing.So 5167 or no? Is it worth it or just go for the wg Daytona!?Really curio

Landed: My Wife Loves A Rose
Mrs. Wildcat465, in spite of her vast trove of sparkly trinkets that would make any spoiled princess envious, would not stand for my grail's arrival without having a little something for herself. When reminded that she already has a YG ladies president showered with diamonds, she made me understand that old bauble is of little consequence since that acquisition was made almost one-half score ago and it's much too small for her big eyes. She insisted...no, demanded, that she needed something rosy to match a ring that she purchased not three weeks ago. So, here is the blossom that she picked. (Unfortunately <insert her pouting face here>, it missing diamonds on the dial. So, I'm scouring the world trying to find her a rose diamond dial. Can anyone help?
