Patek 5575 Auction Prices
See the prices are slowly coming down. Sotheby's auction at the price at around $130 000 including buyers premium in April 2015 and Aniquorum just sold in December for just under $100 000. Not sure what the sellers premiums are but I guess the sellers would clear around $72 000. That's roughly a 50% flip! Come on PP make us a non 175 Anniversary in 5575 so us mere mortals have a chance of wearing one!

5164 in the pool?
I get weird about having pushers that don't screw down in any water. Any 5164 owners swim with theirs yet? I don't know if I ever will....I know Patek says it's water resistant...but the design of the pushers, I fear, may lead to me hitting one of them while it's under the water with my forearm....The only watch with pushers I've worn under water is a daytona...with them screwed tightly down. Thoughts? Any 5980 owners can chime in as well....Thanks.

Getting so close!
Hey, Been lurking here for a long time. The time is getting close to the purchase of my first Panerai! I can't wait!! I've decided I love the pam111, although I do love the magnified date. I have a budget of 6k I might me able to sneak a little higher depending on the wife :big grin: Any thoughts, tips, tricks, and info. would be greatly appreciated.I'll be buying in the NY or Atlanta area. Any recommendations on where to purchase?Thanks in advance!

Rolex makes a darn comfortable/ergonomic watch, too
Among all the other good attributes. I've been wearing my 16610 nonstop for about a month, and decided to rotate it out. I will not name the brand/model to avoid a flame war. I will say it's also a watch that's quite popular for daily wear. And yet within just hours I miss the 16610. The bracelet digs in a bit more, the evenness of the weight just doesn't seem quite there. It is noticeably more uncomfortable. I'm sure I'd get used to it after wearing it a couple of days (I always do), but I always get struck by this whenever I rotate in another metal band watch.
