Well After Various Changes Of Direction......Still A New Patek!
Just a recap several weeks back i was offered a real nice Patek 5960 but to step up to the plate the Daytona had to go but with sellers remorse setting in before i'd given sold it, deep breath and let it go, but you now how it is once your're in "new watch mode" its only time!, so attempting sensibility my thoughts ran KEEP! the WG Daytona i honestly don't think you'd get a more unique dial and i love the fraction formations on "mine "and the smaller onyx 3-6-9 indices more in line with the other subtle markings rather than on the newer premium dials with the larger SQUARE markers IMHO. so i'm now looking at something in SS [and cheap being a relative term] as a daily wearer yes rolex make many with a few nice ones to come, maybe i'll regret it but at this time rolex leaves me sort of ho-hum! bored nor excited!, so to the forefront rose AP and Patek i'd all but picked up a RO 15300 when a offshore was offered by a unsolicitated PM after making enquiring post on AP in general on the forums, but it turned out grey market no warranty although at a Great Price but at the end of the day, i'm really an AD route kinda guy and prepared to pay for that pleasure!, but it did leave me thinking of the big discounts and hence massive depreciation on AP especially when you try to get a level playing field worldwide UK AP lovers are really getting the short stick, with regard what that pleasure costs.
SO!!!!! deposit paid delivery if i'm lucky christmas but proberly in the new year I opted for the bracelet model my reasoning you cannot get just the bracelet retrospectively but you do get the tropical strap as part of the bracelet package a win win situation IMO and it would be nice to have a change as and when couple of nice shots i came across not many at the moment more tropical strap shots Regards steve [happy and content till the next time!] |
