AP RO Offshore
Just curious - do any of you north of 50 years young own one of these, would this age group own one?

Which AP ROO should i buy? Panda or Navy themes?
I've owned several Ap's in the past, but I am split on which my next AP should be. I like both the Navy edition and Panda equally.Navy has been discontinued so i would think it will become harder to get a hand on.Which one is more in demand?Any help would be appreciated on this topic.

5205G-10, any thoughts?
apart from 5712, this one is stunning too (my personal view). Anyone can give some comments about this model? Sorry, bascially i have no idea what i am asking for but it looks very good (within my budget...sigh)

Resale value
What are your guys thoughts on resale value of entry level Pateks? I have pretty much come to the conclusion that a watch I buy from now on has the potential to be flipped up. So far I have more or less broke even on all of my flips up. I don't flip instantly, but rather over a few years of careful wear. I'm pondering a more conservative watch and I don't really understand the resale of Pateks (and APs for the matter). All I ever see for sale is near mint examples. Hard to tell what resale is when 98% of the watches being sold are near mint.So will a 5167 or a 5711 hold its value if carefully worn over 2-5 years? It is also a more interesting price point. It seems watches under 10k sell fairly quickly, but north of 15k and they sit a bit. I'm not saying I'll sell it for sure, but love the fact that I can keep flipping up my watches without losing much if any. If I were to buy a Rolex, most I'd lose is a few hundred, what about a Patek if I decided it wasn't for me?TIA.

Do you remember when buying a SS watch from AD was not the best route?
Two or three years ago, buying a SS watch from an AD at retail was for people not 'in the know'. We could easily get 20% discount buying from a trusted seller. Now I don't even visit their sites anymore. If I do it's only to check out the crazy prices. Do you think those good days are gone?
