100th post, and first patek
Today is another one of those monumental days in our rarified hobby. A step into a new brand, or the realisation of something long awaited. I remember the first time I saw the 5711 was christmas 2011, so a very long 6 years ago... But even back then, all I could think about was the rolex submariner I had been learning about and saving up to buy. Since then many rolex have come and gone, as I turned out to have a very large appetite for them once I got started. Even back then though, I'd read around enough to know that patek was a big deal, and the 5711 was a special and widely respected piece. As the store seemed almost empty of customers that day, I had dropped in, out of the snow, to try on the sub again.... They never minded showing me on any occaison, I got given a coffee and we talked about my love of watches, and how I wanted a rolex to be my next venture...On this day, the dealer asked me, if I wanted to know where I'd end up in a few years.... he said that my passion a

Patek Golf Outing
Anyone else get invited to the Patek golf outing at Torrey Pines? Got invited by my AD and wanted to see if anyone else from the forum is going as well. Should be fun!

Aquanaut Or Daytona As Daily?
I am hoping some are familiar with both, but strong opinions about either one is great, too. I used to own a white dial Daytona, but didn't like the dial (loved the watch). I much prefer black dial. I will have enough money in a month or two to buy one or the other. I love both Patek and Rolex, but can't decide which of these I would rather have. I have been through the process so I'm not looking for help on how to decide.Rather, I am looking for your feelings and conclusions about the watches. Why do YOU prefer one over the other? I know there is much cross-interest for both Rolex and Patek, but I'm posting on both forums to capture the opinions of those who only like one but not the other (no need to post on both unless your schizophrenic like myself and I).Yes! This thread is about YOU and what YOU prefer and WHY! I will contemplate your thoughts, and apply them to my situation on my own.Thanks in advance!

Reorganization Thoughts
I've begun the process of clearing out some watches I don't wear. I'm working on selling my Victorinox Air Boss and Tag Heuer Aqua Racer. I'm also sadly selling off my two 39mm beauties. Ive already sold my Explorer and plan to sell my Railmaster. As much as I love them, I never seem to wear anything in 39mm. I feel like 40mm is the sweet spot for me and Rolex.So I'm thinking about getting rid of everything above including my 42mm Explorer 2 and adding one of the following to my white Milgauss: either a NIB black GMT Master 2 or a gently used Bluesy.The Bluesy or GMT would be my every day watch and the Milgauss would be the mix in. Both 40mm and both with polished center links, which I'm loving more and more.I'd love some feedback or thoughts before pulling the trigger.Thanks,MikeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
