AP ROO 42mm Ref: 26470ST.OO.A028CR.01 Should be getting it this weekendAlready on the scrounge for a new strap as I'm not that keen on the current one and just trying to find out what strap makers are out there?Already looked at AP Bands, Gunny and a few others but nothing really catches my eye.

Patek 5167 price consideration (Sell rolexes for a 5167?)
Hi guys.I know the topic may be discussed before.I consider to sell off some of my new Rolex++ to acquire a PP or a AP. I have had AP 15300. Very nice watch, however, it was not 100% new and I needed cash at that time. Now, I tend to like new watches since I am getting older and consider to keep my watches - mainly Rolexes.Is it a good idea to sell new SubC 114060 and a nice VC Overseas 42042 + add cash to acquire a PP5167 or a AP15450? (My other Rolexes are keepers, since SubC is easiest to get again later.)5711 is better compred with 15450, however, the price of the 5711 is insane. How can PP price 5167 with rubber and less complicated case more than 15450 (and the 15400)? The 324 is less complicated than 3120 as well. Yes, both movements have their own issues (Non hacking, date change issue vs jumping min hands when time set, 3Hz). Just because the brand name? I know PP sounds better than AP, but how can we defend a rubber 316L steel watch with less complicated movement costs more t

Possible discount on 5712's?
I am going to order one monday from the Paris boutique, was wondering if a discount was a possible thing or if it's no use to mention it?Since in many boutiques, Panerai for example, they look at you when you ask for one as if you were crazy, if it's the same thing with PP better to avoid than to get the cold shower answer: Non Monsieur, Patek philippe does not do discounts, with that special tone of voice, where you have the impression the guy is thinking you are buying a 20K + watch and you want a discount? How very cheap of you��Went there just one time they were quite courteous, since there was nobody we talked about watches with the salesman and I tried a few, quite nice, whereas in some boutiques the experience was terrible, again Panerai for example, you feel like a homeless who came in to ask for a few bucks by the way they talk to you, I don't know in the US but here some boutiques and AD's are awful whereas some are great.The worse is in Ukraine where I live, in luxury watch
