Advice on how to buy a Patek
Hello,I am looking to buy a Patek for myself fairly soon... probably a ?20k-?30k model depending which model I decide to go for, deciding between the more dressy sans-complication, calatrava or a slightly less elegant, but more exciting annual calendar.I saw that a couple of retailers can sell to me tax-free (20% VAT taken off) so long as I am having it shipped to an address in Switzerland, which I could do... though it would be a hassle as I live and work in London! Alternatively Watches of Switzerland offer interest free finance for up to 3yrs... which on a ?20k watch is quite valuable and is more convenient for me. I always buy my Rolexes in the 2nd hand market, but the market doesn't seem to be so big for Patek... not the newer models in any case, and the discounts are not even that great.As such I'm looking for advice of the best way to purchase a Patek, go for the VAT-free way, take interest free credit or try and sit it out for a used deal to come up... or indeed any other solut

Adding or changing collection
I've been thinking of adding another watch or possibly selling a couple to upgrade . My current collection is as follows. -SubC ND-Sub LV Kermit-GMT Pepsi birth year-Omega Speedmaster mkII racing dial-Omega SM300 watchcoI have been eyeing an Exp 1 36mm or maybe selling a few and getting a Daytona. Other options would be a speedmaster. I really don't dress up to buy something more formal, never wear a suit. Also with the rotation I have been moving away from date watches, I don't even set the date when I wear my sub or gmt.Any thoughts on what I should get sell or consider in order to add variety? I wear the Omegas the least. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
