After some deliberation
So my search for a new timepiece began with looking at the 5167 and 5711. Why Patek, as I have a 15202or and as much as I want it in steel as well, did not think it would be the right way forward. So thought at looking at the other watches in steel. Tried on the 5167r ( as no one had the steel in my city ) and it was an amazingly comfortable watch. Tried on a white dial nautilus 5711 ( again, no one had the blue dial ) and it fit amazingly well on my skinny wrist. Then began doubting myself that 5712 is the way to go. Apart from my desire to go the Patek way, started looking at unique pieces in steel in Audemars. Hence, started looking at the 15305 but the prices apparently have shot up for it, maybe one day. Anyways for the conclusion had seen pictures online of a new Dual Time Novelty being released for SIHH. Wasn't too sure about it as with leather straps I have noticed a gap between my wrist and the strap and it looks too bulky. Its 39mm so thought would give it a try. Called up my

15205 taste of a green dial
Have just pick up this baby. How do you like the green dial? I'm loving it.

Oh my Omega!
This really caught my eye! Any info?

Patek Shopping in London...Recommendations
Hello all,I've just arrived in London and will be here for the next 10 days. I am planning to do some watch shopping over the weekend and have some questions for the UK guys on the forum:1. I've had recommendations to go to New/Old Bond Street - are there any recommendations beyond this street?2. As a non-resident of the UK, do AD's here rebate instantly or are there limitations to a VAT refund for luxury items?3. I am specifically looking at the 5167 and 5146, what discounts should I be expecting to get at AD's?Any help with the above or beyond would be greatly appreciated!Cheers,Eric

the 3 Panerai made for their die hard fans
Panerai made 3 special watches for what they call the Paneristi.Long ago the 195, than the 360 and now the 532.All 3 of them are or were VERY hard to get. Some say you had to be selected.The 532 won't probably be another story. Allocated via the Paneristi website or being a well know Panerai client will probably be the way to get one.I can't imagine John Doe will walk into a boutique or AD and be able to buy the 532The 195 abd 360 were immense popular, the 532 will follow the same path without questionThat aside, which one would you prefer ?The 195 and 360 are almost the same ( black 44 mm Luminor) or would you prefer to have the new 1940 model ?195360532The movement is a no-brainer. The 532 has the nice inhouse P3000 while the other 2 had a simple Unitas
