The 44 goes to NYC
First trip with the AP and having an absolute blast. Came out for the art auctions but of course fantastic food, friends and drinks makes it perfect. A bit surreal watching the Da Vinci go for $450M to be honest. Anyway....Been wearing it all day every day, gym aside, and it's been a pleasure. The more I wear it the more I love it. Hit the flagship Rolex store on 5th to try on my up and coming contenders so threw a few pics of those in a as well. They had the plastic on so didn't photograph as well as they should.

Panerai 510 & P.5000
Good morning all. I know that this movement is not COSC certified. What is the acceptable time keeping tolerance? I have read it was -/+ 10 seconds? However, the thread didn't provide which movement it was referring to. Thank you all in advance.

Sub Debate... Hulk vs Blue
I have the HULK already and was wondering what's a better choice in the Sub. The HULK 116610LV or the BLUE two tone 116613... Which would you rather have? Would you unload the Hulk to pick up the blue??? Or would you unload the Hulk for anything else??

Just a follow up....
To this.....https://.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=561487As I posted before, I would do a follow up on feelings/observations, after slowing down, thinning the collection significantly, and rotation between two watches. I've tried pretty much everything (as well as other brands), vintage, and every metal....exceptions:Milgauss, Cellini, Yacht Master, TOG, probably a few more I haven't thought of. *Yes, EVERYTHING IS GONE BUT THREE Findings...(for my tastes anyway)....1. PM has spoiled me...love the look and feel, and when I'd put on my SS pieces, I usually couldn't wait to put my PM back on2. I COULD be a two watch guy, but 3 - 5 will probably be my comfort zone. I don't need a huge collection to be satisfied. Quality over quantity for me. 3. Love any Rolex blue. 4. After going back and forth a few times, YG will be in the collection. 5. I may add a SS back in at some point.....SO I WON'T be the guy who says.... I'm done But for now....pretty darn content! Anyway, just some TRF, light w

My Big Fat Day-Date Dilemma
Hello, I'm new to the forums. I joined up because I need some advice. Here goes:I guess you could say I'm a long-time Rolex owner; I purchased a pre-owned Datejust in 2005, all stainless with a very unique bezel (don't even know the name, it looks old school) and a mother of pearl dial with diamond markers. This watch has served me well through thick and thin, and I always said that when I reached a certain point in my life, having achieved certain things, I would treat myself to a solid yellow gold Day-Date. I figure I'm there now, and this Day-Date purchase is now very much a reality. I am interested in the absolute standard all-gold presidential, no frills. It's the #228238. Tourneau prices it at $34,850 -- but I have two connections in Florida for $26,500 and $24,500. Same exact watch, but here's the catch: these are not authorized dealers. I've heard that people strongly dislike Tourneau and would sooner not buy a Rolex at all than buy one through them, but I do like th
