INCOMING!!! The Titan Beast
AP 25721TI from 2003. Yes, that's 15 years ago and it's practically fresh from the vault. Was very lucky to chance upon it and can't get it off my mind. Within 24hours and here it is. Mandatory wrist shot, on 6.5 wrist. The titanium material make the whole watch disappear on wrist, filling my heart with warm titanium feel The dial is multilayered and full of details. Petite-Tapisserie at center with Arabic numerals on flat surround, all in original blue hue. The 3 rings are in greyish hue matching the warm titanium color. And not forgetting the lume, it's super bright and best I had seen so far on AP.

Advice for young Patek enthusiasts
Hi everyone, I do not post a lot on here, but spend a lot of time lurking and am just amazed at the individual pieces and whole collections that you all have on here (you know who you are ). I really love fine watch making and aspire to own a Patek one day, let alone multiple. However, I am young and paying off school loans in the six figures and it seems like such an unreal goal. My watches have all been gifts to me by generous and loving people in my life, so I'd really like to eventually buy the Patek for myself. I was wondering if any of you had any advice or guiding principles that helped you accomplish your goals or acquire your collection? To see these pieces on your wrists, I know you're doing something right! Best

Replaced case at service?!
Hi Everyone! Happy & healthy new year to everyone!! I heard that when a case loses its waterproof intergrity, or becomes over polished RSC will change the case to one with a much older serial number. I was wondering what impact this has on integrity of the watch, what it does to value, and desireability? I would assume it lowers the value by a lot? But i may be wrong! Because in essence you are getting a brand new case.

Rolex ADs in Sydney- first impressions. Advice welcome!
So I’ve been wanting to get a “real” watch for a while and I thought I would finally get around to trying on the different styles I am interested in.I went to three ADs in Sydney- J Farren-Price, The Hour Glass and Swiss Concept (in that order).The service at the first two dealers were superior to the last one I visited. I felt the women who served me more more professional and more approachable than the last guy (you can pm me if you would like names). Additionally, the first two were able to offer me a similar discount, whereas the last place refused any negotiation at all. The watches I looked at were TT lady Date Justs with silver dials and most had diamond markers (pictures below). The prices I got quoted were on the 28mm TT date justs with diamond markers. Only one place (The Hour Glass) still had the 26mm in what I would be interested in. I did try on ones with a pearl dial and diamond markers, but I felt it was not practical as it was more difficult to read th
