A bit of a dilemna
Hello everyone, in the process of purchasing a new AP. Either the Survivor or ROO REF. #26405CE.OO.A002CA.01IMG_1977.jpgIMG_1977.jpgIMG_1989.jpgPrices quoted are as follows:Survivor: 28,793 USDROO 44: 29,447 USDWhat do you think is the better deal? And which speaks more to you? The survivor is such a rare watch but it's also a late model so I'm not very sure. I own a ROO Elephant and Rolex Daytona Any other input would be appreciated.

Having lurked around the forums for a awhile, I am happy to say that I finally took the plunge and purchased my first real watch: the Omega Planet Ocean 8500 in 42mm. Like many others, I debated on which brand to go with Omega vs. Rolex. Beyond the technical comparisons, I went with Omega for one simple reason: 1. Rolex is just too obvious. Too cliche. I like the idea of owning an Omega because it implies that I actually know a little bit about watches beyond simply the price tag and name recognition. But any-who -- here are some pics!

Please show me your Calatrava 5107 or 5127
I would like to add, at some stage one of the above Calatrava's.I have always admired these two Patek Philippe's, but for one reason or another, have always ended up getting another Patek.Now, I am on the hunt to get either one.So, my question is, which one have you got and why?Please also accompany your thoughts with any photos that you may haveThank youRegardsTony

I am seing double on the Patek web site?
Why is 5170J shown in white metal (not the new 5170G though)???Check this out!

Patek or Audemars?? Decisions...decisions!!
First, let me start by saying, this is NOT a which watch is better post. Obviously, the best is very subjective and very personalized to ones taste. Instead, I am just curious as to which piece you would purchase if you were to chose between only these two watches.The first is the classic Patek Phillipe Calatrava. This is no doubt a classic and an icon. Unbelievable craftsmanship and a piece that will certainly be passed down from generations to generations.The second choice is equally impressive. This is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in Rose Gold. This piece is unmistakable and is pure luxury. The fit and finish on the AP is near perfect and the presence on the wrist is second to none. This is equally an heirloom that will be passed from generation to generation in a family.So, which would you chose? Both have approximately the same price tag and each offer the same features (3 hands and a date function). There is no question that each is as near perfection as you could ever
