Thoughts on this Hublot instead of an AP?
An AP is simply a little bit too expensive for me right now.To top that, I love even more than the AP how this shares a similar (slightly different and nicer look IMO), much lighter, and a leather strap which I ideally prefer.I'm really keen on buying this, however just sort of held back by the hate on Hublot.I don't believe Hublot is a fashion brand like some claim. It definitely is a high end brand, but just not one that has been around for too long.Thoughts?

5711 or 5712 at German ADs?
Hi all,I am planning a trip to Frankfurt, Germany in a couple of months and was wondering if there is a chance for me to purchase either a 5711 blue or 5712 in Germany if I start calling around different ADs now.I know that the 5711 is a difficult piece to source regardless of the location but was hoping that I would be lucky enough to purchase one during my visit! Even though the 5712 is a bit over my budget, if there's a better chance of sourcing a 5712 during my visit, I wouldn't mind spending a bit more as well.Thanks!

Like many of you, there are more Pateks that I want than I can afford, but I have decided to go ahead and get my first one. I have a Rolex Submariner and a very nice 1967 Speedmaster (cal 321) that both have a great deal of sentimental value - I don't see myself parting with either. Steel sport watches suit the way that I mostly dress, including to work, where I don't need to wear a suit.I feel like I should get a precious metal dress watch because it's what my collection is lacking, and I am seriously considering a 5227R. (I do not like 5196's, I'm partial to 5119R but it seems even more dressy to me than the 5227. The 5153R is beautiful, but I feel like the 5227 is more modern and may be better suited to lasting the test of time. I do not like the 5146). I'm also considering a 5205R because I feel that a Patek ought to have a complication, but at 40 mm, it's getting a bit big for my wrist, and with it's thickness and bling-factor, I might wear it even less than a 5227R.On the other h

Oyster bracelets with PCLs
Couple questions for those who own watches with PCLs. Are they really major scratch magnets? Do the scratches bother you?
