Incoming, my first AP (and watch)
Decided to celebrate end of 20s and new success in my career (new well paid job) with my first serious watch. Wanted the blue dial 15400 or 15202, went to the boutique in Geneva and was told that waiting times are at least 2 years for 15400 and 4 for 15202. Was shown some black dials and white dial RO but didn't like either, then the sales person tells me that they have a new boutique only edition the grey ruthenium dial and that it might be what I am looking for. Instantly fell in love with the grey ruthenium dial, couldn't stop staring at it all day. It keeps changing colors depending on the light, going from dark grey - silver grey - light grey - steel grey, its driving me a bit crazy , love the watch.Some photos under different lighting conditions in attachments.

Thinking of this one

What happens with most your other watches when you go Patek?
Just curious what you guys do.Doesn't necessarily have to be Patek, but basically a luxury high end watch that you work hard to purchase.When I purchased my First Rolex, no other watch got any wrist time.I just couldn't justify keeping the Rolex at home as she could be used as a beater, a dressy, a sporty watch.PP is a whole other league.I know it won't make my Rolex redundant, as she is still the perfect beater, but I am curious. How can your earlier watch purchases get any wrist time when you pull the trigger on high end watches like the Patek?Do you downsize to a smaller collection with more quality?Or keep them as still wear them at times?

Now that I've distracted my wife with a new Rolex of her own...
I can now distract myself...Sent from the Internet.

The OFFICIAL GMT-Master II 16710 - 3186 Owners Club!
Hi all,I'm proud to be an owner of a 16710 - 3186. Some argue they would prefer the more reliable 3185 movement. Others say they wouldnt pay a premium. Nobody really knows how many 16710's were fitted with the 3186 caliber as Rolex doesn't release production numbers. I'm not an expert, but my advice would be to hold on to these if you have one. The last 10 years have proven this is a collectible timepiece, and only going to raise in value!I've read that this combo was introduced as early as serial numbers starting with Z6xx. Let's compose our own database. I'm curious to know:- The letter and as much of the serial number you feel comfortable sharing.- Is the 2 in GMT-Master a Roman numeral/stick/rectangular?- Country of origin. - Is your original warranty a credit card?So to all owner's of the 16710 - 3186, past and present, post your pictures!Here is my M3xx/rectangular/US/Credit card on my newly acquired jubilee. Cheers!
