Who Watches the Watchmen (Our Chit Chat Thread)

I think that maybe they are trying to make a positive change. Most of the people on diets are overweight too, does that mean diets dont work?

The annual Patek exhibition which includes this years new releases is in Weirs at the moment, the last day in Sunday. Might be of interest to some here, great chance to try on some of the scarcer models.

I just had a quick look at their FB and it's up on that so i doubt it.

And those you can, you better have 40k + cash sitting around :)

At this point im convinced that if they said you’ve to give us back the old one to get a new one (with no trade in) people would still do it.

Went into the exhibition was great,name down for a 5164a but I'll probably never see it .

Great to see the full range and try whatever you like on.

No she seemed happy I was interested but obviously non committal on how long. I'll follow up with an email

I am far from Patek territory 😉 I do hope that the waitlist is kind to you Cyrus. I have had the good fortune to have had 893's on the wrist for a few minutes and they really, really are an exceptional piece. It's mad how I went from just how good can a rubber banded sports watch be? To holy feck, it's brilliant 🤣

It's actually the one watch that I consistently get PM'd about on insta asking if I'm selling. I've had 10/11 messages about it.

Stuck a very cheeky offer in on Omega 2535.80 earlier. If it's accepted brilliant 👍 if it's not I hope this lad is a better negotiator than the Italian dope I was trying to buy 1 from yesterday.

They had the watch up at 3k including shipping, made a fair offer within 10% of asking. Their counter offer was 3.5k🤷

@ct its lorus and argos is where i saw them

At retail a no brainer but I think the call will never come. Not sure what current RRP is for the 5167 but I think around 19k. Cheapest on c24 is 50k.

I said it 18 months ago when Aqua were 35k-40 on c24 that at double their retail they are good value. They are now 50-55k on c24 and I think still represent value. The range will be discontinued and refreshed in the next two years (the current range is there since 2008. They will jump to 70k immediately.

Crazy crazy crazy money as it stands. But room to get crazier I think.

In Weirs looking at the Patek Exhibition. Lot of watches you just never see. A lot were non functional, but in the right metal and with movements just non functional. Still nice to try a few on. Certainly hit home to me that I dont like Nautilus except the mad annual calendar 6 figure watch. Love aquanauts....the chrono versions are deadly, loved the green and the blue. A bunch of photos to swoon over
