A friend? Hehhe... Patek advertising & promotion dept is your friend now?

Anyway.. Patek Cala is classic/timeless, nice understated watch...

plese ignore my naiveness, is patek calatrava and patek philippe anyhow connected?

i was merely highlighting the elusive nature of their timepieces...
people who fall into the patek market certainly wont need any more persuasion of a random quote from a web-forum handle

hopefully someday i will qualify to step into their store

thats cool, a few years ago i was fascinated with patek philippe and wanted to buy a piece from them and when i saw their price tag i was turned off (way beyond my budget) and did not do further research on it..

The P.9000 series is definitely made in house

the OP XI movement is based off an ETA 6497/2

can i say that ALL Panerai's calibre with name "OP" are just modified while ALL the "P" are in house?

....if that's not a collection, i don't know what it is... ..so you may need to change your fact...

Different people different strokes..while some of us may detest the idea of collecting quartz F-1s, there are those who will ....after few years in this hobby, i am open to seeing all sorts of collection themes....

To me, buyers remorse is not about a design becoming outdated. Its when buying without doing homework or buying on impulse. And after slashing the credit card, realizes there is another one out there which you like better or coming soon...My 2 cents is if one actually buy after much consideration, reading, thinking, I doubt the owner will ever see his watch as `outdated' few years down the road and wanna sell it off cheaply......



mine says hi....quite a useful thing to have if you want something loud and grab to wear...

Funny LOL . I have many friends who wants a Patek BECAUSE of their price tag . Not because they are into fine watch making or whatsoever

that is true

I am not changing the fact, U fail to read my sentence correctly. my fact ends at the "comma".
With regards to the collector, I must say wow... I must have admit ppl sure collect all kinds of things out there.

again like collecting u mention earlier I learnt my lesson. Never doubt what ppl may do. I have seen ppl selling bags, belts, shoes cause it is dated, why not watches! ppl on timezone/WUS flip watches for many reasons

Added on February 23, 2012, 8:27 pmif u can find a carrot to chop and claim such high price sure.
and the word u used here is force sale, not many ppl can force ppl to buy something.
the next thing its a aquaracer chrono not a F1. if I am not wrong thats a mechanical while F1 are generally quartz. thats apple to oranges.
it is known fact mechanical generally has better resale value.

I better ignore u.

when people say force sale, means the seller or owner forced to sell it due to require cash la.. how can you conclude force sale means force people to buy something at a high price than they would want to? lol..

I've seen chrono Aquaracers going for less than 4k, never above. Just sayin

What do you guys think of this:
Oris BC3 Advanced, Day Date

http://www.oris.ch/collections/collections...=en&modelid=313
Case: Multi-piece stainless steel case, black DLC plated --> wondering how good is its durability and resistance to scratch.

there is a few versions with different RRP. those 4k ones might be the 7-8k RRP ones.
