Upgrading RO Dual Time 18k with leather Strap to RO full 18k Perpetual Calendar
Hi all,Need some advice, I currently have a 2010 RO Dual Time 18k Yellow Gold on a leather strap. I am thinking of selling this to purchase a 2012 Perpetual Calendar Yellow Gold (full 18k strap) 25820BA.OO.0944BA.02.Questions are:1) The Perpetual Calendar is going for ?26k - is this a fair price - condition is claimed as mint from the seller.2) What would my watch be worth part ex compared to selling privately?3) If sold privately and listed on Chrono24 how long would it take to sell - I have box, papers and the purchase receipt. The watch has been used regularly so has surface scratches?4) The Perpetual calendar is more complicated so how much should I expect a service from AP to cost? 5) Would you pay an extra ?10 - ?13k and sell a RO dual time to purchase a RO Perpetual Cal?Thank you in advance for all your comments and help.

Hacking feature on a Patek
After reading through the forums it appears that several Patek models can't be hacked. (The second hand doesn't stop completely when the crown is fully pulled out.) So here is my question:What Patek models (if any) have the ability to hack?Thanks in advance.

Tried on a few Patek Philppe Watches today.
Hi Guys,I tried on a few Patek Philppe watches when I was at the AD today. Wow they make a fine watch.It was not busy at all so the sales person was able to let me handle a 5101P 10 Day Tourbillon it was a bit out of my price range at 380K (CAD).I like the 5119 Calatrave model. It was going for only 18K. How much does this model sell for in the USA? Same price or much cheeper?Maybe someday for now I will stick with Rolex.Take Care,Eric

Disappointed?
Ok, so I'm seeing a lot of dissapointing on this forum concerning the new releases in Basel. But, really, I don't understand it. I mean, what do you expect? Imho, Rolex is a company with products wich are evolving slowly. That's what I appreciate about them. In our 'throw-away/everything is replacable-society' they make an iconic/beyond life-time item. Sometimes it takes time to appreciate. Sometimes they are an instant hit. But they allready made some truly exceptional timepieces with an iconic design. What do you want? That they change rapidly? A new iconic model every baselworld?Are we victim of the Hyper-capitalistic world that our hunger for new things, new impulses is never satisfied?They meet our demand, many of us asked for a steel pepsi GMT. Well it's there, and it's beautiful. It has a beautiful jubilee bracelet. Altough i do prefer an Oyster too. But when I see the comments on this forum, i picture myself a bunch of spoiled children!Let's realize that we are damn lucky to be

Calendar reset best practices
I just realized that today's the 28th and tomorrow's the 1st (well it's already the 1st to a lot of you) so I'll have to reset the calendar on my watch. Just curious to know, when do you usually do the reset? Also, do you set the calendar to 31 and wait for it to change to 1 the next day, or do you just set it to 1 on the day of? I also read somewhere that you're not supposed to adjust the time between certain hours (~9 and 3 or something), not sure if this is true or not.
