AP Rose Gold Royal Oak Black Dial/Strap v/s Patek Nautilus 5712
Hey guys,I am in a dilemma trying to choose between my first AP and PP. I mostly own stainless rolexes on bracelet until now. I really like the AP Royal Oak 15400OR.OO.D002CR.01 (Rose Gold, Black dial on black leather strap) and do not own any rose gold watches yet. However, for a similar amount of money I could also buy the Patek Nautilus 5712 (in Stainless). The 5712 is one of my grail watches and have admired the design for a long time now. I feel that with the AP I will be diversifying my collection into Rose Gold (the AP Rose gold is just so majestic) and perhaps wait a bit longer to buy the Nautilus, making purchasing my grail even more special (maybe at that point I could even buy the white gold or rose gold Nautilus). Any thoughts on these lines would be much appreciated, especially from those of you who own AP/PP.Thanks,Bharat

Audemars Annual Calendar
This AP annual calendar in SS seems like a great deal. Any members know the history or have more info on this watch. It appears to be good bang for the buck.

Any ♥ for the Triple date Speedy?
Dial seem a bit busy but the more I look at it the more I'm getting to like it. There seems to be several combinations but the black/white dial and hands are what I'm looking at. Pre-owned ones are attractive price wise which is also peaking my interest. Any thoughts good or bad I'd love to hear them?

5711, BLNR, and ....
Hello TRF:I currently have a 5711 and BLNR in my two watch collection and I'm in the market for another watch. I have owned many watches but find myself coming back to Patek and Rolex.The big question is what should be next?! I dress business casual to work and pretty casual on the weekends. I'd love to stay around $10k-ish so I'm thinking possibly a vintage Calatrava (preferably not a hobnail dial) or maybe a vintage Rolex like a 1601...Any recommendations for a Calatrava in that price range? (Slightly smaller sizes are okay with me). What reference number for the Calatrava? Which metal is best for retaining value? Suggestions of other watches to complement what I have are welcome if you feel there is something better than Calatrava/Vintage Rolex.Thanks in advance!

Annual Calendar Help Me Decide
I am thinking ahead. Perhaps more towards the fall or end of the year--- In PP i have a PP 5712 steel, 5990 steel, 5164 steel. I realize from my overall collection I am missing a Calendar watch. So i have been looking through the PP options and would like any opinions or comments. I am not a dressy guy. I have a couple of dress watches and my daily work attire is casual (e.g. dockers or nice jeans and nice shirt). So i prefer the less formal pieces. So here are what is available and some of my comments. I am not even going into the various colors and sub models yet1) 5726 Nautilus -- I like but I will rule out right away because i have two Nautiluses now2) 5146- I really like having a PR indicator. I need to look in person again to see how easy it is to read the subdials. I am not sure i like the subdial approach to show the day and month. I know this is an iconic piece. Would complement my other PPs.3) 5205- Favoring this one at the moment. I like the general appearance and
