went crazy with AP
Got my forged carbon last week but kept thinking of Schumacher. Sold my Fc novelty and got the Schumacher. Lost some money but happy.

5960p black vs 5980 Rose leather strap
Hi guys. 2014 is coming to an end and I am itching for a new patek. Taking money out of the equation what would you choose and why? 5960p vs 5980 rose leather strap. Those pictures by Ken do more harm than good... to my wallet.

To polish or not to polish?
I just inherited a lovely 116613 from my dad and I'm in love with it. Now my dad doesn't really take care of his watches. Not just when he's wearing them, but he also doesn't store them well. As a result, this watch is quite beat up. He didn't even wear it as much as his other pieces but it looks like a daily beater of a watch.I love the fact that it has all of the marks from my dads usage over the years, but a small part of me is considering getting the whole case refinished so that I can leave my own marks on this beauty.IMG_20180412_142301 (1).jpgIMG_20180412_142337.jpgIMG_20180412_142235 (1).jpgI've attached some photos, but there are a lot more marks than what I'm showing. What would you guys do?

Flipping
Stop it. Just stop. I'm speaking to those that are regular consumers like myself who are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to buy a premium piece aka hard-to-get piece at an AD for retail.My advice to you if you fall into this category is to not flip the watch. Either pass, or keep. There are unintended consequences of your decision to flip a watch. AD's could and will literally lose the Rolex line. It's happened, it will happen again, and we are responsible if we are part of this problem.There are many, many negative outcomes that may play out as a result of flipping. For what? $5 grand? An easy $5 grand sounds nice, and while that may be on the higher end, it is possible. Looking at the big picture though, it's nothing and it's not worth it.

Help a girl choose - DJ TT or Black dial w/ Diamonds?
Hi, I usually read but rarely post... seems a lot of posters here are male, which is great. I have polled my girlfriends, so it will be interesting to hear some male opinions!Help me choose - I currently have a 31mm very simple silver dial for everyday wear. I am looking for a dressier Rolex, so I have narrowed it down to the 36mm DJ black dial with diamonds, or two-tone DJ with white dial. They are both approximately the same price.I want something that is eye catching and dressy as my current Rolex is quite simple.Some of my considerations:I don't have any yellow gold jewelry and I tend to choose white metals. Both my Love and JUC are white.However, I find myself drawn to the two tone as it screams classic Rolex to me. Do you agree with this, in your opinion is the two tone more classic and timeless than all white?I'm not sure if yellow gold would even complement my skin tone... opinions please?I don't want a watch that looks too similar to the one I currently have.I love diamonds on
