Features of luxurious Cartier Roadster Automatic Large Mens Watch
I was from trying to branch to watches like non-ronde form. I have owned a few rectangular watches, such as a Longines Dolce Vita and others here and there, but I really wanted to try a Tonneau-shaped watch, apart from the knock-offs people give you as a gift when they travel to China. So I began the first with a Franck Muller Casablanca, which I liked, but it was a little too clean and base is looking for me I think that, considering that have I used to occupied dials complicated the Breitling.

Having an extra 5711/1r with trade idea
Hey gang,So in searching for my first Patek a 5711/1r (and buying it at a fair price) I have since found another that a dealer worked really hard to get me. Wanting to reward the dealer and build a relationship etc. I plan to buy it.Is it reasonable to think that I might be able to trade it for a 5990? Would that even be a good trade? Seems a new 5711 is worth 45-48. Is that about right?Thanks for helping a newbie out!Justin p.s., will be at Basel next Friday night if anyone wants to catch up....

Opinion on first Watch Purchase
I am 40 years old and I am about to buy my first watch. I have narrowed it down to the 5146g in slate dial with black strap or the aquanuaut 5167 with the stainless bracelet. I am torn.My dress at work is mostly biz casual and I wear suits some days and jeans on others. This will be my only watch and I would like something that I could give to my son one day although this will be an every day watch for me. I am not rich but I have put aside the money so cost is not a deciding factor between the two although I would like something that will hold value. Any opinions would be helpful and appreciated.

DJ41 jubilee clasp micro adjustment.
Hi all, new member here but have been lurking for the past few months. I was recently given a DJ41 for my 30th Birthday and just had a couple of questions in regards to the micro clasp adjustments for the jubilee band. I have searched but Haven't managed to find the answer I'm looking for (what's the official name for the 3 set of holes anyway?). Anyway in regards to adjustment how big/smaller does each set of holes make the watch? In comparison to a standard jubilee link, is it 1/4 or 1/2 link?They are currently set on the middle set of holes. Watch is tight but only gets uncomfortable when hot. If I open the easy link then it's a little big and ends up moving up and down on my wrist. Hope that makes sense. Thank you for any input.
