It's so hard to give away my money.
I've been contacting an Ad here in Canada to try and purchase a Patek 5726. I am serious about buying the watch and ready to put a deposit and come pick up the watch. I've called to confirm the watch and order before my purchase, and I felt like I was really 'snobbed' out. I didn't feel like the sales person, (might have been owner as well) wanted to sell me the watch? He kept saying if you want come down buy the watch if not I only have one watch he kept emphasizing he only had one watch, and gave me the impression that ' hey if you're not gonna buy i don't give a damn cause I only have one watch. ' I couldn't believe it was so hard to give away that amount of money. He didn't even bother with my deposit request or even cared how much deposit I wanted to out down. Has our economy recovered so well that everyone is in the market for a Patek now, and the AD, can sell those easily and don't care about customer service anymore?

Insight from owners of the 5726A or 5164A
I was traveling on business over the past few days and so of course, popped into a local PP dealer. I was really looking to try on a 5164A (or even a 5167A just to see how it looks on the wrist) as the travel time is a piece that has really caught my attention. They didn't have any Aquanaut models but they did have the 5726A. I assumed that everything in the Nautilus line would always feel too big (as I felt the 5711 was big for me) but this really had a smaller feel, which I liked. It sat lower on the wrist and maybe the leather strap helped take some of the heft and slimmed down the profile.I know, 2 totally different complications and watches all together, but wanted to get some insight from owners of either. Or for the lucky, owners of both!!! I do travel some so the GMT function would be useful, but an annual calendar is just a great complication to have/use all the time (and a moon phase to add!).Torn...

Noob question: Markup for box/papers vs watch only?
Hi guys- been searching for the right pre-owned PAM for a while. Can someone help me understand the deal with finding a watch with box&papers&accesories vs just the watch only? It seem like having all that stuff is around a 15-20% increase in price, is that typcical?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cyclops Magnification, Rolex QC issue or am I being paranoid?
I bought a Bluesy 116613LB couple weeks ago and it's just been a headache ever since. It was a private seller, a wife who was selling off ex-husbands pieces, and this was one of them. Had it authenticated by Vestaire Collective before I bought it and they said everything's original. I'm like ok cool, didnt think much of it.Everything was fine, until I put it next up to my sub.uhhh, why does the magnification look like it's from a $30 China town fake? Posted on another forum and they said to take it into an AD because VC isn't qualified to authenticate. I'm like ok, but closest AD to me is 2 hours and they charge $100 for appraisal. Which isn't the end of the world but I'd rather not do that if I don't need to.Then someone told me about how Rolex had QC issues in 2014-2015ish and that matches up because the seller said her ex-husband bought the watch in 2014. (it's been in their safe ever since).I don't even want the piece anymore because it'll just remind me of this headache every

Am I Crazy? 16570 Content Inside...
Hi Everyone,I bought this Exp II 16570 a while back and I have a small decision to make. As I look at more and more watches here, I realized that my bezel seems to have been polished. It's not the worst, and you should be able to see in the pictures that the bezel isn't in a perfect round shape in some lighting/angle vs. the unpolished 16570's bezel which is a lot sharper.I called RSC here in Asia and was quoted $230 for a new bezel and installation. I realized that this may be a small issue, but I am quite OCD so I am leaning towards replacing it. Thoughts on what you guys would do? Obviously it's not easy to tell unless you look at watches all day like us here..... Let me know and thanks!
