Jumbo & Panda for...
WG or YG Sky D or YG YM2?Slowly Ive come to the realization that I like durable watches. While the Jumbo is a classic I just don't wear it enough. I figure I will keep one AP (44mm RG ROO) and one PP (Nautilus Chrono) in the collection and flip two APs for another Rolex.My signature has details of what is in my current collection. Any opinions appreciated...

Enough talking about yesterday, let's enjoy our 5711s today
Its cold in UK today!

Thoughts on the new strap?
Hello everyone here at TRF! Admittedly I tend to be somewhat of a strap addict. I find that something as simple as a strap change can leave you feeling like you have a brand new watch on your wrist. Well this weekend my new strap arrived that I had custom made for my 5960. This strap is more casual and more beefy than the OEM strap that came with it. That said, the extra dimensions of the thicker leather add balance to the heavy platinum and makes it feel more secure in the wrist. Additionally, the lighter tan color seems a perfect choice for the summer months. Plus, it now has a little more casual aura to it which makes it feel right at home while wearing shorts/polo shirt or even jeans.I suspect I may get the thumbs down by the purists among us. And part of me wouldn't disagree with the criticism. That said, I am enjoying the look so far and find it to be a nice change that illustrates how versatile the 5960 really is.So, your thoughts please......ImageUploadedByTapatalk1431

so different - but which one!!
they are both so different, albeit both superb - yet bank will allow the acquisition of one piece - which would it be?

Hi folks, I posted this on the TZ forum but I thought I'd share my 2017 SOTC here with my TRF friends also. First, what didn't make the cut in 2017: My first release of the year was my AP 15400 with the white dial. It's been the only AP I've ever owned and I do hope one day to get back to the AP family. Maybe a Jumbo would be the ticket? I really really wanted to connect for life with the 15400 but I could not get the darn watch to fit right. Even with the 1.5 link it was either too tight or too loose. While I'm being completely honest too I think AP went a little too big with this reference. None the less, a forum member got a great deal and off it went. The one I was most surprised about was my Patek 5711 with a white dial. I had the opportunity to purchase this one from an AD this year and I jumped at the chance. But for whatever reason it didn't sing and didn't stay long with me. Next to go was my IWC Portuguese Auto 5001-07. I had this one in the collection for several years. I s
