Patek vs Patek (5127 vs 5227)
Hi folks, I am at a stage in my life when I am kind of getting close to finally get a Patek (late 30's). Looking to reduce the no of watches ans stick to 2-3 pieces that I will own on a long term.I have a Sub that is there to stay and the rest of the watches are subject to be put up for sale to fund the Patek or other watch.I am a big fan of the Nautilus but I cannot justify paying that much for it and the Calatrava makes a bit more sense as I ll always have a sports Rolex to compliment iting back to the 2 Patek models, I did a lot of reading and took a liking to the crown guards of the 5127. I tend to think it is one of the best buys. I also like the 5227 so I am considering it.SizeOf course we are looking at 37mm vs 39mm. I have no problem with 37mm as I am old school and still believe 35mm vintage pieces are great.Movement 315 vs 324Any pros and cons here?I look forward to hear other people's experience with these models. Pros and cons, versatility etc.some photos are always nice to

Dangerous9 StrapsI am planning on ordering two custom bands from Dangerous9, both for IWC watches (Yacth Club and Pilot). I was wondering if anyone has purchased from there and what your experience was (quality and fulfilling order on time as promised). Thanks.

Nato Straps for a 47mm
Hi, anyone have a good source for a Nato strap for my 372? I saw a nice one on Instagram and asked the owner where he got it and he pointed me to an Italian company. When I contacted them, they said the shipping alone was 60 Euros to Asia for the straps. No way I'm paying more for shipping than the price of the straps. Anyway, does someone have a source for some good Nato straps?Cheers!

Basel World speculation
What are the chances that Rolex comes out with a yellow gold DateJust 41? They already have it in the DateJust 36. So it kind of makes sense. A Day-Date is around 25KA YG 36mm DateJust is around 19K or so?I could see a 41mm DateJust for around 20k.Would it just hurt the sales of the DayDate 40?I personally don't care for the day function and wouldn't really buy a DayDate. What do you think?

Paranoia
Hello! Long time lurker here. First off a quick thank you to all you wonderful people for enabling this toxic hobby ! What with all those beautiful wrist shots . Anyways I acquired a Submariner this June, and I'm still deeply in love with it . Yesterday however I took a fall right outside my house . Had an exam the next day and didn't really pay attention to the weather warnings for frost. While my butt took most of the force of the fall ( I know because it is still sore 24 hours later ), I think I might have broken the fall abit with my wrist, which of course, had my beloved 114060 strapped to it . While there seems to be nothing wrong with time keeping( fingers crosse), I fear I might have dislodged/loosened something? Every time I shake the watch I can hear a very very low pitched whirl of the rotor . Compared to my seamaster, everyone would've called this whirl inaudible. But I'm just paranoid ! I can't remember if this whirl was there before the fall ! Granted I have pretty excell
