What a disappointment - Christie's Patek 175
I looked at the catalogue a couple of days ago... Nothing to get excited about!!In my opinion, its a huge opportunity wasted for both Patek and the auction house!!!

How hard is 5167 to source in the UK ?
Decided back in May that my next purchase would be 5167 on rubber strap. My first Patek.I have an AP RO and do not what another bracelet watch hence not considered the 5711.My usual AD told me should have one coming in end June/July and it still has not arrived.Happened to pass another AD last week that told have one in but someone was ahead of me and was viewing it on monday. It turns out that is the bracelet version and the other person has passed on it. Now been given the hard sell that Patek will not be supplying these as rubber only option and if pay steel price they will throw in rubber strap and deployment in for free( Still 2k more then rubber only version)Can anyone shed anylight if Patek are controlling 5167 supply with just rubber straps. If this is really the case guessing my usual AD will probably not get one in near future ?I'm not really keen to source from overseas due to possible VAT hit and ideally want totally brandnew watch ( 1st owner )Any advise/thoughts would be

Need advice: is this authentic Patek 3445?
Hi all, I am new to the Patek world. ?I always loved the brand and its history. I need some help. ?I have a guy offer me this vintage 3445 in 18k white gold. ?He sent me some photos , and he told me there is some problem with the hands not moving and date not changing. Or it moves then it stops immediately. ?A crack at the crystal at 6 o'clock. ?I have posted some photos he sent to me. ?I am going to meet him in person to check the watch. Does the watch seem authentic ??Thanks in advance!!!

My Solution to Preventing Desk Diving Marks
I am a bit OCD but realize scratches and marks will be inevitable. I've used this simple set-up at work, and it's been very effective. Scotch taped a folder to the left side of my workstation and got a cheap ergonomic keyboard wrist pad. Been using for over three months and have no desk diving marks on my Explorer.
