Aqua Terra 8500 41mm
I'm trying to help a friend get the best deal on a watch, and am wondering what a good price is on the full size SS 8500, BNIB from an AD. Thanks!

Are any Pateks discounted these days ?
Hi- I usually hate to ask these types of $ questions , however ...I am potentially interested in the now-discontinued 5205g .... as I am usually a sports watch guy (esp Rolex) and only just got into PP (5167a recent acquisition), I am used to you are fortunate if you get to pay MSRP . My question is, are PP ACs being discounted in the US? the 5205g in particular? If so, what should I shoot for? I have a strong relationship w my AD. Thx in advance for your advice!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Rolex with a leather strap
I have stumbled upon something that I can't seem to learn about via research online.I need the help from TRF experts :)I have understood that some Rolex watch cases destroy two-piece leather straps because they have a sharp edge or a sharp groove in the case.Some examples are 6 digit Subs and GMTs.I am talking about just buying a two-piece leather strap and putting it on.NOT a two-piece strap with CURVED ends or CURVED spring bars.NOT a two piece strap in which you leave the END LINKS on, or buy special end links.Just buy a traditional leather two-piece strap, take off your bracelet and end links, put the strap on and that's it.Apparently, some watch cases destroy such straps.I am very curious about this. I used to think it was only 6 digit subs or GMTs, but apparently 5 digit subs and GMTs do this to.Which Rolex watches do this and which ones don't?What do I look for in a watch, when I am shopping for one that won't destroy a traditional leather strap, without having to take off the b

114060 swap with 16710 Pepsi?
Was recently offered a trade for my 114060 mint from Dec 2016, for a year 2000 16710 faded Pepsi with an extra Coke insert. The watch is almost a full set, missing just the warranty card (long past warranty by now), but does have service papers from Nov 2017. Owner says the watch is unpolished, although I have not yet seen it in person. I've never quite been a fan of the Pepsi GMT, but would like to gather the collective opinion on TRF if this is a sane trade? I have two 114060s (one is still BNIB), so this opportunity seemed tempting. Or are there better trades out there?Thank you TRF family.

Hello all would like you guys opinions on this watch with a blue or black dial?I personally think the black dial really makes the white gold bezel stand out more but theres something about the blue? What one would you guys go for?Also the prices in uk are very high right now do you think they will come down in the next year or 2 on grey market? As its way above retail?
