New AP lover!
Just wanted to introduce myself to the group. My love for watches started when I was 18 and for Xmas my father bought me a Omega Seamaster. The watch didn't leave my hand for the next 10 years. The watch was bulletproof and I have yet to own a better watch. Then of course I moved on to Rolex and Panerai. The last month I wanted to up grade my collection so I purchased a AP ROO Diver and RO SS, PP 5711 Nautilus and Breguet Marine. In my collection I have to say the Diver and IWC arethe most fun to wear. The 15400 beats the 5711 by beauty in a long shot, the best looking watch I ever owned.

Want is a Good AD discount ??
What do you think is a good discount on a SS sports ( nautilus/ aquanaut ) Patek? Myself and 2 friends are considering leveraging a discount with (3) cash deals. I've heard of 20% , but could 25% to 30% be had ?Thanks

Lets speculate on the 2016 Worldtime
So the 10 year anniversary for the 5130 is 2016 which was a good run considering how short the 5110 was. The 5575 was a huge hit - in fact many of us mere mortals couldn't even get on a waiting list. So wouldn't it be fantastic for PP to pitch us a 5575 non anniversary WT for 2016? They probably cant launch a black dial as this will really hurt the 5575 resale which is already softening but maybe there is a space for a dark blue / indigo like on the 5524 or a blue like on the 6000. The 5130G -019 retailed at around GBP 29000 and the 5575 at GBP 37 740.00. So in order not to depreciate us poor new 5130 owners my guess is that they will pitch the price between the two and add an additional complication to justify the price as we all know gold has fallen through the floor but prices haven't come down for watches. So its good news for us WT lovers, we either get a new model in 2016 or the 5575 may come down to more realistic levels.

No Interest in Panerai on TRF
Seems like interest in Panerai has virtually fallen off the cliff on TRF........has Panerai lost its luster????????

Lucky New BLNR owner
I had a deposit at my local AD for the BLNR for a few months. While on a long drive today I called a few small dealers on my route. One of them said they just got a BLNR in that day and it was available. I was no more than 20 minutes away when I called. Obviously I got a refund on my deposit. Am I the Luckiest guy ever?
