A Life Question to the Patek Philippe Owner's of the World
I often gaze upon this discussion board with extreme longing in my heart and promise in my eyes. I like most watch lovers view Patek Philippe as the pinnacle of the watch world and ask myself what I must do in life to attain a financial position to achieve my ownership goal. I often catch myself in the, want it now category, with dreams of winning the lottery and becoming rich over night. This is funny because I have never played the lottery and hate gambling.

Oyster Bracelet "stretch" - 5 digit vs 6 digit
There have been several threads which reference whether bracelet stretch will be any less on solid link oysters than hollow link oysters.Does anyone have a 2007 6 digit SS GMT (the first year they were made) and a 2007 5 digit SS Sub that were both worn a lot and which would provide a fair comparison on hollow vs solid.Or if someone can post pictures of a solid link 2007 SS GMT showing any bracelet stretch, I'm sure someone else can post pictures of a hollow link 2007ish SS Sub.
