Which PO Next?
So, right now I have the black dial/silver numerals PO and I love it. The PO is one of my favorite watches on the market and I want to get another. So, should I get the white PO in the next month or so, or hold out, save up, and get the blue LM PO in a while? My problem is that the blue is cool, really awesome, but is it a $2400 premium cool? Thanks!!!

Another would you trade...In your experience
Hello, I would like a Patek 5164A. I would have to trade my BLNR and LVc plus cash. I really like both watches and rotate them regularly. I think I've caught the Patek bug. Anyone out there do something similar? Any regrets?

Tudor Black Bay - Customized Leather
I'm thinking it might be possible to find a 3rd party leather strap and transfer the deployment buckle onto it. The deployment buckle is removed from the leather via a very normal spring bar assembly.In order to do this, the leather strap would need to be 22mm wide, tapered to 17.5-18mm where it connects to the deployment buckle. The other side would have the same 20mm-to-18mm taper. The end that is connected to the deployment buckle would need to be about 60mm/2.3in long while the end with the holes in it would need to be about 130mm/5.1in long.This would give us endless opportunities to customize yet retain the very cool Tudor-branded deployment system.Anyone have any good recommendations where I might start hunting for straps that could match the above, or come close?This is a thought experiment for now. But if I found another good (plain) leather strap that seemed to fit, I'd try it out.

Good Deals? Testing AD bargaining.
What do you all think?A watch like the DJ41TT Jubilee and Sticks. Very easy to get but Rolex retail MSRP is 12,700.What would be a good price through an AD (without tax)?
