New York Boutique Prototype 44mm Offshore Gold
Hi everyone, I am new on this forum, my name is Burak, living in New York. I currently have the blue dial royal oak 41mm, yesterday i went to the boutique and checked the so called''summer edition prototype'' ?? Think about it like the white ceramic offshore with the white strap but all gold. Never found pictures online, never seen one. I asked the lady(manuela) if i can take pictures but the answer was no. Then she told me that this watch is a prototype and will be out in June and they are taking deposits. I really like the watch, seriously thinking about putting a deposit but would love to hear from you guys since you know the wrist game a lot more than i do. Thank you in advanceBurak

1973 Speedmaster
I currently have a Rolex 14060, it is my only watch outside of a Casio G Shock. My goal is to add a Speedy, or another Rolex, to truly begin my collection. As of late, I've really been leaning toward having that next piece being from my birth year - 1973. From what I see out there, the 1973 Speedmasters are just flat out ugly - the series 378s and Mark III have very odd cases, and to me are unattractive watches. Does anyone out there have one, or know someone who does, that might be able to sway me?

Another Incoming? 5270g!
The benchmark reference from the benchmark watchmaker: a perpetual calendar chronograph from Patek Philippe.I had a hard time deciding between the 5970g and the 5270g. I was lucky enough to handle both at the same time.I tried the 5970g. It looked great but when I handled the 5270g, it looked more legible and it was love at first sight. The day/night indicators on the lower left and the leap year indicator on the lower right made it more legible and cleaner vs. 5970g that's inside the sub dials, not to mention the tachymeter which made the 5970g busier. Some say the 5270 does not have the Patek DNA but I really don't agree with this. Check out Eric Clapton's 2499 and the latest 5270g is exactly like it, without the tachymeter. It looks clean upsized at 41mm which I think is very nice relative to its thickness. Another factor that made me decide to get the 5270g instead of any previous models is because it is in house movement. I have handled a Lemania from the previous generation and I

Socialism, Third World, Danger, and Rolex 116610 LN
Hello friends. In advance I apologize for my poor English.I joined this forum in 2013 but I have never posted, although many days, many, I read them carefully and it is great for me to see their comments and photos. My love for Rolex was born at age 13, my father had a DateJust 1601, TT, Jubilee strap, BEAUTIFUL champagne dial; I saw him and really drove him crazy asking him to give me his watch, he did not take me seriously, I was a child, He tried to buy me with other watches, he even try with a tudor prince date, and I made him return it, I wanted his watch. I never asked for anything or was a spoiled child so I had to touch some fiber in which he felt it really was something I wanted with sincerity, so being in the living room of my father's house he came and said indifferently TAKE IT, I just service it to give it to you, and I handed the green bag of Rolex, inside was his Rolex 1601, now mine, I shouted and jumped for joy, I never adjusted the strap, I used it to the extent tha
