Trade ROO Elephant for New Style ROC?
I'm currently an AP ROO Elephant owner, which I absolutely love. However, like all watch sickos afflicted with the sickness, I have developed eyes for another. I'm considering trading up to a new style ROC (black dial, silver sub dials). I've been drawn to the style of the ROC and I think I'm ready for a bracelet again. I also have a small wrist (6-ish) and moving from a 42mm to a thinner 41mm will be an easier wear on my wrist.I'm quite tortured by this decision as I can't quite seem to pull the trigger. The Elephant has held its value incredibly well since I acquired it a year ago and I'm a bit concerned with the ROC doing the same as I like variety in my collection and am regularly flipping every 1 - 2 years or so.Want to get some feedback from the community. Am I crazy? Any and all ROC pics from current owners would be wonderful!Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm in LOVE...
Well I've never paid much attention to APs but after we got the AP sub forum here on TRF I've been following closely. I'm head over heels for the AP ROO Chrono ref. 26170ST.OO.1000ST.01. I've looked but not seen as many pics as I would like. Any wrist shots guys? My grails were the WG Sub C or GMTIIC in YG with green dial. I think I'll take the AP over both. I don't want this to turn into a discount or price thread but what should I expect to pay for the watch. I was going to buy another $10k ish watch but I want to hold off for the AP now. It might take a little while to save since I am getting married in 4 months (not paying for wedding but buying my fianc�� a Rolex DJ in gold with diamond bezel.) I would also like some AD references in NJ, Philly, or NY. I would really like to buy from AD since it will be my last big watch purchase for a while. Do AP ADs discount (I know it's prob depending on customer?). I do want it on the bracelet if that matter. Thanks so much for any help you c

5711 Blue Dial available at New Jersey AD
Hi, just wanted to let anyone who's interested know that LaViano Jewelers in Westwood, NJ just this morning got in a brand new 5711 blue dial. I'm getting one from my local AD soon so I passed on it. I have no affiliation with this dealer and just wanted to share the info as I know how incredibly hard these are to come by. Call and ask for Mike!

Incoming: My first Patek
Ever since I was a child, I have always been infatuated with watches. My mother and father are both collectors of sorts and it has definitely rubbed off on me. The sickness only has gotten worse since I purchased my first Rolex in 2005 and hasn't gotten any better since joining TRF last summer I have gone through many watches and brands since then. Including Audemars Piguet, IWC, Omega, Tudor, Panerai, etc...but for as long as I can remember I have always wanted a Patek. It has been a long, long, expensive journey full of mistakes and lots of lessons learned...Special thanks to Mr. David Farkas, aka PerpetualMan88 for making this possible. David and I go back while, this being our fourth transaction together and I can't say enough good things about our interactions. He has always taken the time to answer my stupid questions, texts, and concerns. He and I have been discussing a Patek for me for ages and he reached out when he found the perfect one. We talked about it and after some thou
