SMP Blue Wave?
My first luxury watch was an SMP wave blue chronometer.I see now they updated with coaxial but thats about it (no new bracelet)?Are they discontinuing this model soon, is that why they aren't updating the wave dial?I like ceramic but the wave dial is so gorgeous, am i alone here?

Hello mates, well, I'm picking up a brand new PP 5167 tomorrow and unloading a Rolex to do so. It came down to either the 5164 or 5167 but decided the 5167 was a cleaner look and had trouble justifying the extra 20K + for a dual time zone. Love that watch !

Patek Salon in Geneva
I will be having a holiday in Geneva end July. I am wondering if this boutique is worth a visit. This is one of the three exclusive Patek boutiques in the world run directly by Patek themselves. How is the service there and do they have a more complete range for browsing compared to the usual PP ADs? Is prior appointment required or I can just walk in? If you have been there before, please share your experience. Thanks.

My new PP Nautilus 5711/1A-010!!!
Hi guys, here is a report of my purchase of the PP Nautilus Ref: 5711/1A-010. A quick background about myself regarding the watches I have had the pleasure of owning so far, which includes an AP RO, a couple of PAMs, Rolex Sub, GMT, Explorer, Daytona, Bremont, JLCs, Zeniths, Breitlings, Stowas, IWCs. So hopefully that adds some credibility to what I say! I purchased this from David Reeves at the London Patek Salon on Bond Street and it was a great pleasure to deal with him!! I initially called the salon around 1 month ago regarding the Nautilus and at the time they did not have one in stock but said they can put my name down on the list. 2 weeks later, they call me and say that its arrived from Switzerland, still vacuum packed and sealed!! So after searching around for others, I decided that I will go for the one at the boutique, they can hold a watch for you for 7 days so that gave me enough time to search around. Unfortunately I could not locate any near me so I just decided to go fo

UK AD nonsense to be practiced in US.
Was at my AD today and placed a deposit on a GMT 2 tone that will be a gift for my uncle. After I give the deposit he tells me that since its a gift they will retain the warranty card until he confirmed receipt of said gift. I was shocked. He then shows me an email from rolex that says best practices since the rolex product is in auch high demand Rolex Authorized Jewelers must adopt Rolex's Best Practices 1) no warranty card to be left blank 2) all watches must be sold in store and stickers must be peeled at time of purchase. 3) if watch is a gift then warranty card will be retained till the gift is confirmed and then will be shipped to the recipient. I was in shock! Long story short, I have a very good relationship with my AD and he knows my family very well so he agreed to ship the card with the watch. Rolex is really starting to get out of hand.
