Transocean...?
does anyone have any pics they can share?saw it in Watch Time and it looks pretty good....

What would you consider? Patek, Rolex, other
So, here is the current State of the Collection.I'm tying to get something a little more special for my next.I love the 16610 and the 116610LV. The Black Bay is incredible to look at, but if I'm honest, I gravitate to the Submariners, but it is such a value, I don't see selling it as much of a benefit. Right now the PAM 232 price is in the TANK. Seriously, if anyone has thought about getting one before, get it now. The brown on the dial is perfect. I'm wearing this one today, but I feel like I can't wear it all the time due to its size.I've had a couple PCL models now that have come and gone. The 116710LN and the 116520 black dial. Something about the Daytona, I always thought I would mar it up and that isn't a watch that looks good scratched IMHO. Because of this I have shied away from AP 15300/15202. Those things are to pretty to scratch! Feel like I'd be holding my wrist away from my body all the time and look like a nut.At the time I felt the 116710LN didn't fit me well a

Pondering... my first PP
Guys, looking to get my first PP here. Something elegant and yet fit for every day use (at work). Obviously a solemn decision here, as it will be some time before I can get my second one 5205G looks very very nice indeed, but am tempted to go one notch lower to start, with a 5296G or 6000G. Appreciate any advice/suggestion.

Dream achieved - Complicated Patek Philippe in Gold
Hello All,Thank you so much for the kind words and advice.After much thought and consideration I have purchased my new watch (new to me that is as it came from a vintage watch dealer).It is the fantastic Patek Philippe 5035 in Yellow Gold.I just could not pass up an Annual Calendar for a first Patek. I am so proud to have a complicated piece on my wrist.I also love the 24 hour display and the Romans sealed the deal.The watch was built around the 315 movement - not just a conversion to fashion like the 5146 which is simply a 5036 with added size (for no good reason that I can see). 37mm for a conservative dress watch is a great size!If I wanted a huge watch I would have bought an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off-shore!I think the term traditional size fits the 37mm size. Infact the current model 5140 Perpetual Calendar is around this size also.I have seen articles on the net stating the 5035 has great investment potential. In fact a 5035 sold for more money than a 3940 in New York last

Did it! Importing Rolex from EU to USA
For months I've been wondering if the Ban was actually lifted. So this month I pulled the trigger and purchased a watch online from Germany. Fortunately, the seller came highly recommended by a German friend I work with in Dubai. So the same rules apply, Buy the Seller. I could have easily flown to Germany to get the watch. But I really wanted to test the process. Lessons Learn:1. Your Seller will require a few days to get the Export documents from his/her Country's Custom Authority. This delay may seem he/she is up to something, but in actuality their dealing with Government workers (I think we all know how that can be). 2. Your seller may hire a Shipping Broker to assist with the export/import process. I was his first online US Buyer, so he needed assistance. I paid extra for the service ($150-$200), it made things go smoother. The overall shipping cost including the use of the Export Broker $300. 3. The Shipping Broker used FEDEX. The watch departed Germany on a Monday, arrived i
