15300 vs 15400
I made the trip into the City of Brotherly Love to try one some watches at the local AP AD. It was about a 45 minute trek, but I was excited to try on some Royal Oaks. My buddy that was with me was considering purchasing either a Navitimer B-01, or the Milgauss GV.When we got there, they didn't have all of the watches listed as in-stock on their website, but they did have a 15300 for me to try on. I liked the fit of it, but it was definitely missing a few links - it fit my 6.75 wrist right off the bat. They didn't have any SS 15400s, but I did manage to convince the uninterested sales lady in letting me try on a 15400SR, the new two-tone RO from SIHH 2015. I didn't snag a pic of the 300 on my wrist, but I did get one of the 400 -Overall, I think the 400 is too big for me, as the lugs had some clearance off my wrist. What would I be missing out on if I went with a 15300 over the 15400? Can anyone give me a pros and cons? I think this throws the 15202 into the mix now, and that w

A 2254.00 joined the group. New holiday gift for relative. Photo far from great, but the collection looked good against a blue jag hood.

My First Patek (5712)
I picked up my highly anticipated 5712 this week and what an experience. I couldn't be more thrilled with the look and feel of it. It took a year and a half for the call, but it was worth it. The sales experience at the Patek salon was beyond perfect, and I was treated to champagne and an overall purchase encounter befitting of the brand. I was also gifted a patek tie, a travel case, a free service, and a pair of patek gloves. Now back to the watch. It's definitely much lighter and more fragile feeling than I'm accustomed to wearing. But then again I've had one model of Rolex or another on my wrist 99% of the time. It goes without saying that the watch is stunning. The bracelet is among the most comfortable I've ever worn, and the dial changes color depending on the lighting, which is sublime. I'll have more to say after I've had a few weeks worth of wear. But for now I will sit back and continue to stare at the dial. What a beauty. Sent from my SM-N920W8 using Tapatalk

Does Panerai make a 42mm with an in house movement?
Do they make suck an animal? Either hand wind or automatic? A sandwich dial would be great with a date also! Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
