They never had a 5522
Well last night on TheWatchBox Brian said they never had a 5522. I personally couldn't help but notice the Watch Encyclopedia's (Tim) expression after Brian said that. Tim is a great guy from what I can tell and his memory is down right perplexing at times but still thought I'd share since this was kind of a huge deal which many here took opposing stances. My stance was that dealers have ways of making over retail on high demand pieces by a number of different ways. To be clear, that is just my opinion and I'm not pointing fingers but do want to spread the word about any concerning details other members may want to know before deciding to make long term relationships with others.

5712 Water Resistance
I had my sights set on a 5711 as my next Patek, but I was considering a 5712 as well. I didn't give any thought to water resistance until I researched the 5712 in more detail, but the 60m rating has me back to the 5711. Obviously neither is a dive watch, but I don't want to worry about normal use, hand washing, or the occasional swim. Frankly it's one of the things that irritates me about my Speedy Pro and why I just default back to throwing on a Rolex more often than not. It will be the priciest watch I've bought, and worrying about damaging it would take a lot of the joy out of owning it. Has water resistance played into anyone else's decision process when picking their Nautilus model?

This was back in late 2011...
Spotted this while browsing the internets. Just in case you were looking for a way to spiff up your Patek. (I actually think it doesn't look half bad.)

Rolex, more than just time. Obviously.
What are we really paying for?(Apologies, if this is an 'old chestnut' of a post).But. I was wondering how many of us here, actually use the added functions of our Rolexes? From the Submariner and it's various depth ratings to the Sea Dweller & DeepSea's incredible specifications. (I have read that only 2% of wearers of 'Divers Watches' can actually swim). How many of us, wearing a Yachtmaster, GMT, Daytona, Milgaus ,et al, make use of their full capabilities?I have travelled across various time zones and found it easier to change the position of the hands on my GMT, rather than figure out the correct,relevant position of the bezel etc. So. What ARE we paying for, beyond a reliable, sturdy movement in a nice,tight case?Are all those extra, albeit, beautifuly designed and sculpted features just a personal fashion/style statement? I suppose I've just answered my own question!There will be many amongst us on this BRILLIANT, helpfull, knowledgeable and friendly forum that, sail yachts,

2 daytonas and a sky dweller
Hi guys,just wanted to ask thoughts.Local AD has come through an offered a bundle deal of a white face SS Daytona, a white face SS sky dweller and a white gold Daytona on rubber.Cant really say no as I'm desp to get both a Daytona and sky dweller so I have paid and will collect the watches tonight.I have never owned any precious metal pieces before, and have always been told you will lose a lot of money on them if you purchase for retail, however looking at the pre owned market it seems it has held its value?is the white gold Daytona a piece that I will lose significantly on?
