RO perpetual pt

Hi all,

After buying an unworn 15300 blue dial last week, there will be an incoming but since it is being sent in Paris and I won't be there before 3 weeks, I won't see it before. I have taken an interest in some AP's, more particularly platinum PC's.

If I decide to get one, I will need to sell my CE diver. Would like to know if you think I should and add cash for one. I have already the 5712, the 15300 is paid for and will arrive shortly, and after the holidays I am getting the 5711, which will make 3 white metal watches on bracelet, should I flip the CE diver for a PT PC, which will make 4 white metal watches, 2 RO and 2 Nautilus, or keep the diver? Getting a 60K watch and keeping the diver is not an option.

I always found full PT watches very cool, esp 5711 but the RO´s as well, and the only choice possible since the PP is unobtainable and a little expensive for what it is.

My choice is basically between these two, a used salmon dial, and an unworn blue dial.
The blue dial is great but doesn't have any tapisserie dial, whereas the salmon dial has it.

Would love to know if one of you knows how many of each were produced, I would think the salmon is rarer as it carries a clear premium, 67K used, 111K new and the blue 62K new, ok there is one new for 94K, so the new one, if it is really new, for 62K is a very good deal, but the dealer seems to be trustworthy, in any case if ever I was to get one, I would of course go see the watch in person first.

I would tend to prefer blue, but I will have 2 blue Nautilus and 1 blue RO, maybe the salmon is a better choice, though the salmon for 65K is used whereas the blue for 60K is unworn, but it seems rarer and I don't have any salmon dial watch, and it has the tapisserie. Of course the salmon dial seems not great for readability, most certainly isn't, while the blue dial seems much better on that matter.

There is also another one which is nice and much cheaper, around 30K, but it only has the bezel and the attachments on the bracelet in PT, the rest is SS, and it has the waffle dial. Nice but the interest of the watch is having an ultra thin all PT one.

All these models are 25820, with PT for the full PT, and SP for the SS/PT, and were made in 2005/2006, from what I can find, maybe until a little later...

Thanks in advance for your replies
