They cost only a small fraction of the money that you might
They cost only a small fraction of the money that you might have paid for the original ones. Thus, it is not strange that most people purchase several timepieces. There are many different models of these watches accessible in the marketplace that yo can constantly find one desirable to your preference.

15300 Back from Clearwater!
My 15300 came back from service today after a total overhaul which was completed as a courtesy even though the warranty ended a year ago. The service took just about half the estimated time (5 weeks instead of 11!) And it looks absolutely like new. I couldn't be any happier with AP service and I absolutely recommend them. A+ for sure!

please share your top 3 most beautiful Patek watches ever made
On Ken's last post I replied that the 5970 is imo one of the most beautiful watches Patek ever made.So it made me curious , I wanted to know other people's TOP 3 listSo please think about it, more than once and to give you a hint �� don't just name the 3 most complicated you know.The most beautiful is imo seldom the most complicated. I had the sky moon tourbillon a few hours in my hands and I appreciated the technical work of art but I will never say it was a beauty. Nor am I a fan of repeaters or tourbillons.From a purely esthetic view a simple repeater looks like simple Calatrava. And a Calatrava is a nice watch but imo not for the TOP 3 ever :-)And those super complications with multiple functions are imo most of the time too busy.As you see, my choice does not have vintage pieces. The reason is simple.For me they are way too small. Yes I like a 1518 and yes I like a 3970 but a 35 or 36 mm watch is just not for me. And yes I like some vintage chrono's like a 530 but once again

Incoming - First Rolex!
After several months of internal debate, I finally pulled the trigger on a GMT-IIc. I can't wait to take pictures when it arrives.To those with a GMT, is there anything I should know beforehand that I may have not heard about? Thanks.

Watch recommendation please!
Hi everyone,I would like to purchase a nice used watch, budget up to $10,000. My build is athletic and compact: I am 5 foot 9, 170lbs, so not a big guy, basically built like a gymnast. I am attending grad school next year at a highly regarded university and need a nice watch to pair with suits and business casual; my current job is as a manager in more of a blue collar setting and I would ruin a nice watch. On weekends I tend to dress preppy, for lack of a better term, so it would be nice if any watch went with that look. I currently have a Panerai PAM 673, which I wear often on the weekends, but am worried that it will be a bit too casual to wear with a suit. Also, it would be great to have a stainless bracelet, just for the sake of mixing it up. I also don't want something too dressy that I can't wear on weekends. It has to be a look that is put together but slightly sporty perhaps. The watch doesn't have to be Rolex. My wife has a RG TT 36mm DJII and a GMTII TT as well. I wo
