Considering my first Patek - Input please!
Hi guys and gals,I've been voraciously collecting Tudor for a number of years now. I still don't know how or why I became so infatuated with the brand, but I'm getting to the point where I think diversification is necessary. There are still a number of Tudor grails I'm after, but they are not easily found so I need to wait and hunt to find desirable examples (7924, eagle beak, homeplate). Lately I've found myself looking st complications from JLC, IWC Mont Blanc and obviously Patek. I am considering the new IWC annual calendar w blue dial, but my heart and gut are stuck on the 5960/1a. Is this a good first Patek? Any input about complications in general? Any other Patek models I should consider? Other brands? Thanks!!
