What do people think about Audemars Piguet?
I think I have two types of watches I love. One is of course Rolex but the other I've found out recently I love are Audemars Piguet (the ROO to be more specific). The design of the bezel seems not only rugged but elegant at the same time and I just love the ones with rubber or leather bracelet. They have a special touch to them. Just wanted to see what others think about it.

Patek - the basics of building a great collection
I am complete novice when it comes to Patek and would be interested in understanding what the basics are of putting together a great Patek collection (in case I win the lotto of course).What are the basic things to look for when buying a Patek?What do collectors value or dislike?What are the dos and don'ts of investing in Patek?How does the market think about/value white gold vs platinum, or rose vs yellow gold?What are the most liquid/understood watches/category of watches?How does wearing them affect the value?What are tips for trying to minmize wear?Should you try and have a strap for daily wear and one in the box?Can/should older watches be restored?Who restores them?It seems like perpetual calendar with chrono is a benchmark watch like the 1518,2499,3970,5970,5270 series.If you were going to build a collection of these as an example, should you try and have all one metal type like white gold, or vary the metals, or get one of each?How about the different series within these watche

Three months in!
And still loving it. So timeless. Wanted it for a long time, found it on chance at an AD. Number 2 incoming next week!

Is this something normal for an AD to do?
So, couple of months ago I've put my name down for a BLNR at Melbourne Airport Rolex, today I've received a message saying that they've just got one in stock and asked whether I'm still interested. Although, there's a catch, that is I have to buy an additional watch in order for them to sell me the BLNR. I was never informed about this when I put my name down. So my question is, is this something normal for an AD to do? P/S. I understand that some ADs would only consider existing customers when it comes to the waiting list. But since they've got one in stock and actually messaged me, I just thought it's a little strange.
