Its been a couple of months since this happened so it is not really an incoming per se, but I did mix things up a little bit. AP family consisted of 15400 (white/silver), 15703 (ss) and 15707 (ceramic). I wanted to add a new piece, but I loved everything I had so my initial thought was to just add rather than replace. But at the same time, when the collection gets up to a bakers dozen, it is probably time to start making some hard decisions and consolidating a bit. So, unfortunately, this had to go:2014-10-17 09.45.34 copy.jpgI will miss it, loved it, but at the same time I had two divers and I did not want to part with the 15707 or the 15400:2014-10-02 15.13.28 copy.jpg2013-11-06 18.42.42.jpgSo, gone but not forgotten. To help fill the void, I decided to add this:IMG_0206.jpgIMG_0219.jpgFew observations about this piece:-- this is a big watch!

5167 + BLNR for Blue 5711?
I currently own 2 watches: a Patek 5167 on rubber and a Rolex BLNR Batman. I really enjoy both watches and like that I own one Patek and one Rolex....BUT every time I see pics of the blue 5711, I drool. Aesthetically, I view it as one of the most beautiful watches I've ever seen and somewhat of a grail.I briefly saw it once in person a long time ago and remember being slightly underwhelmed because I thought the dial looked more gray than blue I had expected to see. Also, in all fairness at this time I had only owned one Panerai and thought that spending approx $25k on one watch was ludicrous and not a realistic option for me.
