Purchasing a Breitling from a UK Seller
Looking to purchase a Breitling from a reputable member of a forum, he was originally only looking for a UK deal but I really want the watch and we're looking for a safe way to get it into the US, Has anyone here had any experience with shipping a watch overseas?

New POC 9300 (w/ Sub-C) - Review & Thoughts
First off, I wanted to thank Alfred (member: FNFZ4) for a great transaction. I've been looking to buy this POC for over a year and was thrilled with the price & speed in which Alfred was able to get the exact POC I was looking for. I've bought numerous watches over the years from multiple sources; I can say without hesitation that Alfred is now my 'Go To Guy'...so much so that I'm already thinking of buying another watch (Ladies Speedmaster) for my wife via Alfred. If you're looking for the BEST price and unbeatable service, look no further than Alfred. Thanks again!Now onto the watch & brief history. For those that don't know, I'm a HUGE Omega Chrono fan...my SMP Chrono was the watch I feel in love w/ as a teenager and was my first 'real watch' purchase years ago. I use to be strictly an 'Omega Guy', but after buying a SD4000 about 5 years ago I started to really fall for Rolex too.

Looking for a Second Patek.....
Hello All, I am now in the market for a 2nd Patek. My purchase of a 5035 left me with a good chunk of money left over..... so I have decided to buy a 2nd Patek with these funds! You see - unlike some people who think the 5035 is a lesser watch than the 5146 - I actually choose the 5035 for the following reasons:- 1) the size is perfect - 37mm 2) the 24 hour dial 3) the history of the 5035 being the first Annual Calendar 4) the investment potential of the 5035 Vs the 5146 5) the fact it is no longer in production. At the end of the day the big choice was either the 5035, 3940 or the 5140. As they were all similar in size the fact the 5035 was 37mm had no bearing on the decision. I now am considering a 5107, 5127, 5196, 5119, 5296.

Patek Aquanaut 5167 as everyday wearer...
...I am thinking of maybe letting a few watches go +adding cash and buying a pre-loved Patek Aquanaut 5167 to compliment my SubC and only have these two watches +some Aqualands beatertype watches for REALLY tough work as building on the house etc...I know the 5167 is advertised as a 'Sportswatch' Patek but is it really a 'Sportswatch' or just a more glorified sporty dresswatch in reality? Do you guys swim, go to the beach etc with it or do you pamper it as a more a dresswatch?I do not pamper ANY of my watches and they go with me everywhere, shower, swimming, work etc...Can the Aquanaut take it?...
