Serial flipper- have I gone too far?!
Hi all, firstly I would like to say hi and express my gratitude and appreciation to all contributors to this forum- you have provided me with many hours of inspiration, advice and most importantly, allowed me to admire your many beautiful timepieces.I find myself in a bit of a dilemma and would greatly appreciate some honest advice- I promise I can handle it :)I have always been a serial flipper and over the years have been slowly upgrading towards my 'grail'.Having gone through a few watches, I stumbled and fell in love with the Deepsea. Although large, I felt really comfortable with the size and before long decided to go for a Panerai- the 47mm 194. I absolutely loved this watch and it wasn't much longer the Rolex had to go and my second Pam came along- another sub, the 225. This is really where the problems started. Although the same dimensions as the 194, for some weird reason, I felt it a little too big and started to become a little bit self conscious, therefore not giving it muc

2nd AP - 26400
Hi all, long time TZ'er, not so long over here. Just picked up my 2nd AP. First was a Safari which I ended up trading . . . . Second is this very nice pre owned 44mm. I will say I like it better than the Safari. The 44mm is nice, the ceramic bezel is spectacular and the display back is much better to look at. I do miss a bit all the 42mm band choices on the safari.Take carejim

Global Generations films
I recently noticed that the Patek website has added a few new films supporting their motto of You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.They have added Sydney, Bangkok and Los Angeles. I think these are all nice additions. I wonder what cities they will add next..patek/en/communicatio...nerations-film

The buyer of the Paul Newman Paul Newman
So I came across the video about 40 minutes long and it was an interview at SIHH of Aurel Bacs . it centered around the Paul Newman Paul newman That Recently sold for 17 million . One of the questions was about the morality of such an expensive watch . His cancer centered around charity and part of the proceeds going to charity .However interesting Comment was he knows the buyer and how much they Contribute to charity . So I was thinking that a Rolex contribute most of the profits to charity. Would they make Rolex the new owner of the Paul Newman .

How many of us have been pushed "upmarket" into PM models because of SS scarcity?
I'm curious to know how many have decided to buy PM versions because the SS is simply impossible to get. I know this happened to me. Like everyone else, I wanted a 5711 in steel, but at some point the value proposition flipped when the practical cost of getting one skyrocketed. So I went with the rose gold version, and I'm happy with it.I'm starting to think the same way with the Daytona. Every time I visit my AD, the only ones in the case to even try on are the PM versions. So after putting the Platona on a number of times just to see how the Daytona looks on my wrist - guess what - I think I'm hooked...If this has been their strategy all along, to prop up demand for PM models, it appears to be working. On fools like me at least. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
