Stainless Steel AP & PP Combo?
Have a 15400 (black dial) that I like a lot and JLC deep sea chrono (42mm) that doesnt sing to me. Thinking about swapping the JLC (and cash) for a 5167, but then will have two black dialed watches. Alternative is more cash to get a 5711 or add the 15400 (and more cash) to the trade and get a 15202 plus 5167. Appreciate advice.

Advice for young Patek enthusiasts
Hi everyone, I do not post a lot on here, but spend a lot of time lurking and am just amazed at the individual pieces and whole collections that you all have on here (you know who you are ). I really love fine watch making and aspire to own a Patek one day, let alone multiple. However, I am young and paying off school loans in the six figures and it seems like such an unreal goal. My watches have all been gifts to me by generous and loving people in my life, so I'd really like to eventually buy the Patek for myself. I was wondering if any of you had any advice or guiding principles that helped you accomplish your goals or acquire your collection? To see these pieces on your wrists, I know you're doing something right! Best

422!
Hello. I have a chance to pick up a new panerai for my 30th birthday. I was going to pull the trigger on a new 510, but my AD just took in a trade on a pam00422, and I can grab it for the same cost as the 510. 422 is complete with triple box( inner black box a bit banged up) and war entry dated 4/14What would you do?I'm 6ft 2in, and a 7.75in wrist, so 47mm should be ok. I like the 8 day power reserve, but I like the 1950s case. Any advise would be good.

explorer 2 16570 polar
Hello,I've been looking for a rolex to add to my 16610LV; been gravitating around several models: 5513 non-matte dial, 16800, 16700, 16750, but I found myself always drawn back to the explorer 16570. Been attracted to the cream markers on the white dial. I found a U series (circa 1998), titrium wording on the dial, full set; very good condition. The only doubt I have is that the lume is still active - not super luminova like but rather luminova. I have to make up my mind by this week-end or release it...my question to the forum:- is it possible to have a titrium marked dial with luminova indicies?- is it possible for the titrium lume be glowing still?- what are the chances that the lume starts turning yellow?- should I just be looking for an older model altogether with already yellow markers ? ( although the prices in Japan are really hiking upwards on these babies)...- should I go the opposite drection and aim for one with the 3186 movement?The price is definitely high compared to las
