I did a very bad thing.....
some of you guys may know after a few years hiatus I've recently come back to this site. Last month I purchased a new 39mm Explorer 214270. Not being content I placed an order for a BLNR (which should arrive 2nd week of Aug) So for a couple of weeks I stopped obsessing about Rolexes. Well browsing the omega forums was not a good idea for me either. I now have a 3570.50.00 incoming

5960/1a and 5980/1a
hi everyone, this is my first ever post and i am seeking opinion for my first ever patek. i am not sure what to get between 5960/1a and 5980/1a i personally like 5960 a bit more than 5980 mainly because i see so many of 5980 but my AD keeps telling me that 5980 will increase in value and 5960 might decrease due to 5960 being rather unpopular and low demand. is this true? thank you everyone

Incoming! My First PP...TRF Enabling Successful
Really excited that I am fortunate enough to own my first PP.

And then I sort of wavered to something more dressy, like a 5396g or a 5227r. However, through all the enabling (I am looking at you Ken (HL65) and Ben's epic post), as well as others, it pointed me to a model that I never really looked at too closely before...the aquanaut. I fell in love with the 5167r, and so, here it is at last! I got home quite late today so only took a few quick pics to share. Will definitely post some more pics when I get a chance.The Patek box h

Just sold this to make room for...
A package that's coming tomorrow. Hint, it's in the same category as the watch I sold but can go a bit deeper. More to come!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
