Question to other Canadians
I am purchasing a Speedy in the US, am I better to have it shipped to Canada and pay the taxes (13 per cent) plus possible brokerage fees or bring it home with me and get the $800 duty free allowance, however I will have to pay the state sales tax (7per cent) I think it is likely a wash either way. I could just no declare it, but how do I explain the box and other papers. I am not comfortable at being a smuggler it not just not in me, besides I would hate the fine and being on their watch list forever. Any thoughts!

JLC MUT RG Perpetual Calendar <vs> Patek Philippe 5146R Annual Calendar
Hello everyone. I am planning to add a rose gold calendar piece to my collection and I have narrowed down to two choices. Which one would you choose and why?Some thoughts:1) The JLC is a perpetual calendar while the Patek is an annual calendar. To me, perpetual calendars are superior to annual calendars but I can't afford any Patek perpetual calendars. Therefore I am not sure if the JLC is the 'wiser' choice here.2) I am currently on the wait list for a Patek 5711. Buying the 5146 now may cancel my purchase decision of the 5711 as I don't see myself having two Pateks in the near future.3) The JLC is around $13k cheaper than the Patek, taking my AD's discount into consideration. so I may use this difference to fund my 5711.Have a nice day!Kev

5165 vs 5167 choice
Hello all, I am drawn towards the Aquanaut - but sadly local dealers do not have the 5167 in stock (and the 5165 is discontinued- but can be obtained used of course)If you own either, did you go through the decision proces by trying both on - and did you by any chance take a seperate shot of each watch on your wrist?I guess what is making the decision hard is that I prefer 40 mm watches for sports watches (Typically Rolex sub and 16600 SD) - but for dressier watches and shirt cuffs at work I prefer 38 mm.The Aquanaut would for me be somewhat of a combination between a sports watch but mostly a nicer dressier but still not too formal watch for work wear.Some wrist shots of me wearing 2 other watches - I was hoping it could help you give me some advice:New larger Sub (40 mm but wears slightly too large for me IMO)16600 Seadweller - also 40 mm but better appearance on the wrist:So what do you think, would the 5167 fill up too much of my wrist - or would the 38 mm 5165 be just that tiny bi

It's arrived! Daytona 116509 black dial!
My grail watch has landed!!! Sorry to be so excited about it but it's my most expensive watch yet and for it is so special!I wanted a chronograph to go into my collection and I got a Tudor Fast rider Blackshield but the moment I got it I regretted it. That started a thought process in my mind, I ended up giving up my 116622 blue along with the fastrider (plus cash) and ended up with imo one of the top if not the top chronograph watch!Sorry about the crap quality photo!

114060 as an everyday tool watch.
Have a question for those with the No Date Submariner. I love the idea of having a watch that I can literally wear all the time in every condition. Are late model Subs still designed around durability and hard wear or have they shifted more to the luxury side? I'm not some crazy extreme sports guy but I do a fair amount of travel and water sports. Would love to have a watch that's always on my wrist for the next 20 years.Sorry if this is the dumbest question ever.
