Saw a couple of AP's - can't get them off my mind
Guys,I have far too many watches but I am always on the prowl for more. Came across a few lately which have caught my eye but these two I can't stop thinking about. A super fun watch for a few months in the summer 15710ST.OO.A010CA.01. Why is this stuck on my brain? What do you guys think?I have only three bracelets in my collection, all the rest are on straps. This has so much presence and pop. Is it too much? I don't think so, it sure feels good on and it really does make a statement, I think the blue is such a game changer. Again opinions? 26331OR.OO.1220OR.01Also I have owned two Safari, two black/red ROO and the new blue with black is intriguing too. Haven't seen it in person yet. Sorry for the lack of pics, I can no longer upload pics for some reason they are all too large.

Anyone to the PBIR during the week and Concorso d'Eleganza at the Breakers on Saturday?If the weather is good, it should be an awesome display of everything!What will you be sporting?

Opinion please!
Do you think it's a good idea to trade in 2 Rolexes, my daily 2-tone DJ2 and a vintage 1630 (Oysterquartz case with automatic 1570 movement), for a 6- month old H-serial 15202ST blue dial jumbo (AP at 12 o'clock)? Do you think the trade (with some top-up of course) is worthwhile when considering daily wearability and value-keeping sake? Also, with the same amount of money, do you think a 15202 is a better choice than an ROO, eg. Diver, RC or Black/Panda/Safari Theme? Currently I notice I reach out for my white-dial ROC almost 80% of the time.I've already had some opinions from friends and would like to gather more of yours! Much appreciated!

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
