AP Royal Oak Chrono Vs Patek Nautilus Chrono
Well Guys,I have narrowed my next watch down to two options and I have shopped around from the best prices I can get.I would like to really thank some of you who shared your contacts. It really is much appreciated and shows how great this forum is!With the Patek, the best price I could get is 15% off Swiss list price, compared to 28% off the AP. So this is how it works out:?43,500 at a 15% discount for the Nautilus ChronoVS ?24,600 with a 28% discount for the APWhich would you go for considering:LooksValue - there is a substantial difference in priceQualityRepair and Service TimesResaleStatus

5712 or 5205 or 5164A
Hi allNew to the forum and first time poster. Enjoy all your posts and discussions so thanks a lot!Wonder If you're be so kind as to give me some advice as i'm looking to purchase my first PP.I really love the Nautilus 5712 and but they're so hard to come by. I may have a lead on a G but the G seems a little bland to me. Lack of contrast with the white gold and dial? The R is gorgeous but will need to wait a while to source one. The R is pretty flashy though and I'm a relatively low key guy.The Aquanaut 5164A is beautiful but also super hard to come by... i travel a lot so this may come in handy and I think it would be a great daily watch. The rubber strap seems pretty casual but I suppose one could dress it down or up.My AD has a 5205R black dial ready to go and I could probably get it at the same price as a 5712. It's beautiful but again a bit flashy and more formal. The 5205G is available too but again seems a little bland?If I get a 5712 then I see little point in getting an Aquana

Newbie with Durability Question
Hi, I just joined the forum. I have had a Patek 5036 WG since new in 1999. Love the watch and wear it often. I'd like to get my wife a 4936 Annual calendar. My question is, how durable are these watches? My wife is not particularly careful. She wears a Rolex now, and even golfs with it. I know she should not play golf with this Patek. But is this watch too delicate for daily wear in someone who may be careless? She is also looking at a new Rolex which is probably more durable for her. Any thoughts? Thanks

Sell sub today to upgrade in July?
Hi all - someone is offering me 90% of retail price for my 4 months no date sub. I was thinking I should sell now considering so much news of the 3235 version coming in July. What do you guys think? What would you do?

Crown winding of Tudor Black Bay SG
Hi FriendsI just got the Tudor Black Bay SG. Unlike my Rolex DJ2 (whose crown stops winding after about 70 or 80 winds- meaning that the watch is fully wound), the crown of the Tudor keeps on winding. I must have wound the watch in a clockwise direction for about 200 winds at one go but the crown keeps on winding. There is only a minor clicking noise during winding but the crown doesn't stop. Is it normal for the Tudor or is there something wrong with the watch? Maybe I am being OCD about the whole thing. Any input from the highly knowledgeable people on this forum shall be highly appreciated.
