Ladies Deville Prestige 4375.71.00 Advice
I want to buy my wife a watch. She does not like Rolex's in her self-imposed price range of $5000 - 6500. We went out and looked this weekend and of course everything she did like was $10,000 or better but she does not want to spend that much.She is very frugal I am the one saying if you love it, buy it! Then we saw an Omega that was quite nice and in her range it was the Deville Prestige 4375.71.00 she decided to think about it but I think I might sneak off and buy it. It looked really good on her and she did really like it.I was just wondering what was the verdict on this watch?

Patek 5976 offered to me, help please....
An acquaintance of mine purchased this 5976 from our mutual AD. He finds it to big for his taste now that he can see it in person. He has offered to sell it to me. Here is where it gets interesting. He wants $110k for it ($97 MSRP). At first I was kind of put off by the whole thing but I am told these are trading at a much higher premium in the grey market. He kind of made it sound like he was doing me a favor just so the watch was in permanent hands.So here is my quandary: Do I want the watch given I am not a big person. I like the look of the watch (congrats to anyone that owns it) but opinions on it appreciated. Second does the price and market picture I am describing sound right? Lastly the AD has no idea and the seller is a high profile executive so he isn't a serial flipper type. Thanks.

From Breitling to Rolex and Patek Philippe-5270R Inbound
I must say that George and I have been thru so many deals and this by far is the most satisfying. When the 5270 R was announced I called George and inquired about this announcement. He said I was the first one to call him and he said I could have the first shot at his first one when delivered. Some say first shot and mean unless a better offer comes in but he stuck to his word. This came in last week and I struggled with some trade possibilities. I do not wear my 5070 nor my 59801AR nearly as much as I had thought. Thru the year I looked at several 5970 R but decided to go with the Patek in-house movement and my name on the papers. So I decided to get the only piece which could replace my 5070. I highly recommend George and Govberg Jewelers and you will not regret doing business with that group! Thank you George and Govberg! Wrist shots tomorrow morning! You enablers!

Insanely bad Customer Service - Friend's 312 Hour Marker Issue
See my old thread for the sad story up to now. However, it gets worse.In summary for those who don't want to check the link... the hour hand on his 312 would not hit the hour marker dead center on the hour. I.e. 1, 2, 3 o'clock etc. He had an AD send to Panerai to adjust and it came back exactly the same. Subsequent efforts resulted in no change..rolexforums/showthread.php?t=493894My buddy had the AD send the watch BACK to Panerai again. They said it had to go back to Switzerland. Whatever...as long as one of their folks can fix this hour hand situation.So the AD calls him back and says this is what Panerai will do...1. $100 for a polish 2. replace the dials3. replace the hands4. clean the bracelet,buckle for $236Estimated turnaround time... SIXTEEN WEEKS!!! :He scratched the bezel himself / wanted it taken care of...this is insane I told him. Besides. If they intended to refinish the rest of a barely worn 312, that is more insanity.OK...re: #2 & 3...they won't charge him. But
