Yeah, I'm buying Pateks to keep for sure and trying to buy correctly. I'm just not at the level of some of the guys here buying @ ADs/boutiques that don't mind losing couple 10's of thousands to move on to the next best thing. After some back and forth with an opportunity presenting itself, my first is looking to be a 5170p. Will be chasing a 3940p/g afterwards and then attacking the "sports" side with the Nautilus....hoping the market calms itself or I get lucky with some of the dealers not requiring me to spend near $100k with them just for the right to buy a $30k stainless watch hah.

Thanks for all the feedback gang.
