Patek 5167 or 15202
Looking for people thoughts here as I;m going to pull the trigger on one of these shortly. My usual daily driver currently is a BLNR. I can get the aqua now at a bit of a discount while I can get a 15202 in the next month at full price from a boutique. I know I'll get both eventually but can only get ONE for now. Love both probably equally however I have a desk job and my BLNR bracelet has been well loved aka pretty scratched. Not sure how the 15202 will hold up there. The Patek will be more under the radar and hold up better under desk scratches but the 150202 is more aesthically appealing to me I think, however, more attention grabbing. I've also listed this in the patek forum since I'm sure I'll get biased views in eaach

Very absolutely Patek Philippe
Special packaged baselworld brochures.Just wanted to share, for those who had to miss out.Enjoy!Ps, due to the soecific interest I will post the aqua and 5131 in their own threads

PP 5960 vs 5205
The 5205 wears quite small for its 40mm size. Does the 5960 wear bigger? Would like a Patek AC with day/date/month windows but my 5205r does look small on me - am wondering about trading up for a 5960r.

Are diamonds in vintage dealer add-on bezels larger?
First, hats off to Crown Collection for his consistently great contributions, furthering our collective knowledge on some arcane topics.In his thread in the reference section about authenticating diamond bezels, he discusses the diamond bezels that Rolex dealers stocked to up-sell customers. Specifically,18000 series men's day- date �C 44 brilliants set in yellow gold (part code MBZ4488)44 brilliants set in platinum (part code MBZ4466). 46 brilliants set in white gold (part code MBZ4690)My question is, did these bezels have larger stones than the standard factory bezels (that would have come on a 18348 for example)? Or, in the case of the white metal bezels on YG watches, is it just an optical illusion that the diamonds are larger?Thank you.

AD went to size my watch, and removed all stickers against my wishes. Advice?
I took my brand new BLNR with stickers (purchased 2/20) to a well known AD in SoCal to size it for my wrist.My plan was to size it and put it back into the safe to hold on to. Possibly wearing during special events, or maybe around the house when feeling saucy, but definitely keeping stickers on and definitely keeping the watch in perfect condition.I gave the watch to the person at the counter, who handed it off to the tech on duty. While she did this, I mentioned to both of them that I'd like the stickers kept on the watch, but understood if one had to be removed to get links out. We all had a good laugh about wearing a watch with stickers, and the tech took it into the back.About 5 minutes of browsing later, I got the watch back, with 2 links taken out and absolutely zero stickers left on the watch. Once I noticed, I immediately turned white. I'm going to stop the story right here and ask, if you were in my position, what would you have done here? Would you have blown up? Woul
