Rare Opportunity To Acquire A Temption CGK203 Watch: One Of Only 1100 Made
About once a year or so, maybe less, a Temption CGK203 watch becomes available for purchase on the market. The good news is that people who own these watches tend to be serious watch lovers who treat the attractive German watches with the pride and care they deserve. That does not suggest that Temption watches are delicate. but rather that they attract a high caliber of collectors.Well lucky for us, one is available on eBay right now. The Temption CGK203 is no longer made and went through a limited production of only 1100 pieces. Though there is an updated version, The Temption CGK204, these remain distinct watches that simply share the same movement, which is the highly complex ETA automatic Valjoux 7751. The 7751 is based on the popular Valjoux 7750, but added to the movement is a full calendar, moonphase, and 24 hour hand. It is one of the most feature rich movements out there, especially at the price. Better yet, Temption does an excellent job of making such an array of complicatio

My new AP15710! Quick take
Following on from my previous Thread with a Poll on which dial colour to get:.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=518371I ended up with the Black Dial 15710ST! Thank you everyone who helped me out there and took the time to post your comments, really appreciated it. This isnt a full on review as there are many reviews online that does a better job than me, but from another watch guys perspective.Here are a few shots of my AP and my thoughts. Background: I wanted something sporty that I can wear casually, in various climates, during holidays etcetc but didnt want the usual suspects like Omega, IWC Aquatimer, Rolex Sub/SD, Tudor etc. Not dissing them ofcourse, they are all amazingly high quality robust watches but just wanted something abit different. Then i came across the AP diver, something i never considered before but after trying one on at a local AD, I was in love. Ive owned many watches from different brands before, including the ones in my sig, but others such as IWC, numerous Panerais

Patek making life difficult
Guys,It seems to me that enjoying and collecting Patek watches is tough at this point in time. Many of the hot references are almost like seeking unobtainium. I am only thinking of the current references. The 5524 and 5711 blue dial are going for over list. The 5930 is seldom found (although it is in it's infancy). Nautilus's are tougher than ever to source. All this frustration is painful and yet in the end it really helps all of us protect our so called investment. (I struggle calling a watch an investment).Love them or hate them, Patek and their AD's do a good job protecting their brand yet I still find them so frustrating to predict and work with. Perhaps this varies depending upon where you live. I am thrilled I have a 5711 and empathize with those wanting one. Here is where I will get bashed - but for me I do think they should limit the availability on those who call the 5711 and 5167 as entry watches. I believe they should be made available to clients who have purchased other mo
