How much did you lose on average?
Not particularly related to Patek...Since I switched from quartz to mechanical watches back in the summer of 2012 (now about 5 years), I have lost about 20 percent of what I invested so far by flipping watches. Which is on average about 4 percent per year.I calculate it as follows: amount spent on mechanical watches minus amount recuperated from selling some of them (ignoring depreciation or appreciation of the watches currently owned but also ignoring inflation or deflation of money).Using this calculation, how much did you lose so far in percentage? Curious to know what people in general lose over a longer period of time (5+ years). Please exclude non-mechanical watches (e.g. Fitbit, Apple Watch, Casio).CheersV.

Patek and Apple-watch relationship?
Interesting piece in ablogtowatch...did Apple borrow their design from Patek? .ablogtowatch/patek-ph...-watch-common/

Does anyone one have a recommendation on a leather conditioner for the strap?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Crazy nylon strap day (pic heavy)
The purpose of this post is to demo how various Rolex models would look like when put on nylon strap. These are my personal choices and opinions. You may agree/disagree and/or like/dislike. I don't want to start a debate but you are welcome to post your own pictures.I personally found nylon strap most comfortable when comparing among, metal bracelet, leather and rubber. My wrist sweats a lot. It is really uncomfortable with moisture condensing under the bracelet, rubber or even leather strap. From time to time it gives me skin rash. I tried to wear my watch really loose to help the problem, but the downside is the watch head knocking around. Nylon straps have many advantages1. Very breathable(important for me)2. conform to the wrist better(good for some tricky wrist)3. CheapI refer to these straps as nylon strap because I cut off the additional loop pieces of every singe of them. I found it provides no real function but adding bulk and makes the watch head sitting higher on the wrist.
