5165 or 5167 ?
Can anyone help ? I keep going back and forth on whether to get a 5167 or to try and find a lightly worn 5165. A few months ago, I was at my AD and tried on the 5167, felt it was slightly big for my 6.5 inch wrist and then saw a 5711, which fit perfect. I bought the 5711 and love it but after seeing all these great photos of the 5167, makes me still want it. Should I just get this or try to find a slightly smaller 5165? Anyone have a wrist size around 6.5 inches that can post some photos ? Thank you in advance.

Are we as a community too focused on value retention?
With what seems like about 1/3rd of the most recent threads being about whether X will hold its value, whether X will drop or increase in value, I've started to wonder as a community, have we become too hyper focused on value retention at the expense of our enjoyment of our watches, and other pieces we may like, but won't buy because we will take a bath on them.Plenty of things we enjoy in this world lose some (or all) of their value once enjoyed. Cars are a good example. Furniture, clothes, etc., all of that stuff practically plummets once used even one time. But we buy them because we enjoy (or need) them. And why should watches be any different? Why are we as a community seemingly so fearful of losing even a penny on what we pay for watch? Yes, I get that they are a luxury good, and that it's not a great feeling to lose money on something we've shelled out dearly for, but again, there's lots of luxuries where we spend money, enjoy thoroughly and have no residual value to show at the

The Best Rolex Dial
I have been jonesing for a blue dial for a year or so. Maybe the Omega Seamaster 300 or the Tudor Pelagos. Those seemed like reasonable choices. Then the blue dial DJ41 came out. I set my eyes on that. Beautiful. This is Rolex's best blue dial. Best. Then I saw the Day Date blue dial. It has a deep richness not possessed by the blue dial on the DJ41. Now I want to spend $30,000 on a watch. You suck Rolex. Is there any dial that made you go goo-goo-ga-ga?
