Incoming elation and excitement!
I am humbled to be the new owner of this gorgeous timepiece...words cannot express how blessed and thankful I am!I absolutely love it on the strap and I can certainly see a Speedy bracelet purchase, in the near future, to switch things up a bit.

To quote Yogi Berra, it's d��j�� vu all over again!
Some of you may remember my modded 2254.50 from years ago with the non-America's Cup dial:Well after attempting to love 2500 and 8500 Planet Oceans, I am back to my first love:This one also has the cal 2500 second hand.I had forgotten how comfortable and beautiful the classic SMP was on my wrist.

New Nautilus Question
Hey Everyone,I am still working on saving up for a 5726 grey on a bracelet, but have put my name on lists because I will have the money soon enough.Now my question, are the cufflinks included in the purchase price? I have been seeing many get matching cufflinks with their purchase, but it seemed like a free gift, but then I read about the new 5740G and you get the cufflinks with the watch - I know the price difference is huge, but I noticed that on Patek's website, all have cufflinks in the product page:https://.patek/en/collection/...us/5740-1G-001 - has cufflinkshttps://.patek/en/collection/...us/5711-1A-010 - has cufflinkshttps://.patek/en/collection/...us/5726-1A-001 - has cufflinksSo - just wondering if I should be expecting these when I talk to the AD? Or is it just Patek trying to convince me to buy them :)Also - if they are free gifts, do you tell the AD you sort of expect them, especially in these days where full retail is basically the price you pay??

Pam 233 Owners (or domed crystal watch owners) is this normal? ? ? ?
i bought this NIB. i'm pretty sure this is normal due to the domed nature of the crystal, but i just wanted to make sure. i see patterns in the crystal when the sun hits it at certain angles. see pic. thanks.

6917 (DJ) Question
My wife has expressed an interest in a watch. Issues is, what she likes (size/style) wise is (in my opinion) overpriced unless it's been redone by a jeweler with aftermarket dial/bezel. Question is: How terrible is to have a (ladies) watch with a non-factory dial/bezel? I understand the pitfalls of Rolex service and their policy on non-factory parts. But, beyond that? There are several to be had in the less than $3K range right now on Ebay (for instance). I have bought twice from sellers here but the ladies watches don't seem to be that popular for resale/gray market sales so not much luck there. It's between a DJ with aftermarket (diamond) bezel and MOP dial..... or a 29mm Yacthmaster which would come 100% complete and correct with all boxes/paperwork. The difference between the two price wise doesn't matter all that much to me. Thoughts?
