New Moonwatch box
Hi everyone,I always wanted to buy a Moonwatch, so the other day I went to my local AD to try one on. They had this new (big) box and honestly, this is magnificent. It comes with one of the best NATO strap I have ever seen. Now I want it even more.I wanted to know if one of you guys own this package?

Help needed - AD or not
I have decided to purchase a 5170, having sourced both a 5170G and 5170J new in the box from AD and from non AD sources.Herein lies the dilemma - the purchase price from the ADs is about $18K all in at the end of the day. One of the non AD watches has the papers and everything blank. When speaking to one AD they have told me that some watches are sourced from other countries where currency exchange rates make it favourable to purchase them offshore as resellers. Occasionally an AD will go out of business and liquidate inventory to the reseller market. Whenever a Patek is sold the AD reports the sale to Patek and the watch is recognized. The resellers even if the papers are blank are not able to do this.Is this correct? Does it matter from a warranty basis? Could Patek refuse to service a grey watch as some Ad would like you to belive?Clearly the pedigree from factory through AD to the end user is of value but how much? Thanks

Spotted at Work!
Crazy little hobby of ours. I was paying for lunch today when I noticed an awesome vintage Pepsi GMT on Jubilee on the wrist of the person next to me. Told him sweet watch. He thanked me and said it was his grandfather's. How cool is that? Looking forward to passing my Sub on to my future child one day. Sorry for the bad pic! Just wanted to snap something quick as we were both taking our orders to go.Josh
