Patek Philippe Gifts
So, I get home to realize I had a package for me and the wife from my AD!!And then, surprise

Help needed - AD or not
I have decided to purchase a 5170, having sourced both a 5170G and 5170J new in the box from AD and from non AD sources.Herein lies the dilemma - the purchase price from the ADs is about $18K all in at the end of the day. One of the non AD watches has the papers and everything blank. When speaking to one AD they have told me that some watches are sourced from other countries where currency exchange rates make it favourable to purchase them offshore as resellers. Occasionally an AD will go out of business and liquidate inventory to the reseller market. Whenever a Patek is sold the AD reports the sale to Patek and the watch is recognized. The resellers even if the papers are blank are not able to do this.Is this correct? Does it matter from a warranty basis? Could Patek refuse to service a grey watch as some Ad would like you to belive?Clearly the pedigree from factory through AD to the end user is of value but how much? Thanks

What will happen to prices on the 5980r?
What will happen to the second hand market for a 5980R RG? I bought one new about 6 months ago for a pretty good price.Are prices going to shoot up now or in the not so distant future? Alternatively, will prices drop? Opinions are much appreciated.If pricing goes my way I will likely upgrade and get the 5980/1R-001.

Incoming... my odyssey to the Hulk
Hi folks, I collected my 116610LV today after a almost 4 month waiting time. I know not that that bad. But here is how I happened to waited 4 months for nothing. Fast backwards to beginning of November I went to my AD for the second time in 2017 to order the Hulk. The first time was in July only to have a look at it. So since November I called once a month to check in and see how my order is going (it's the second sub I buy from that AD). Every time I was told without checking that they don't know when they will get one and that there is a 5 months waiting list. Last Friday I called again, for the first I'm told that they are going to check. I get a call back one hour later telling me that they could fined my order and that it was most probably cancelled because it's not possible to order twice the same Rolex in a year. Imagine my face at that moment. I'm told to come to the AD to make a new order telling me 100 times that they are sorry and would put me on a priority position. So next
