I was walking around today in HK and stopped by a grey seller shop here in HK that I use to frequent but hadn't been in for quite some time. BOOM...there it was in the glass window display. A Patek 5970j brand new. The owner told me he has another one that is 99% condition. Price seems to be very attractive and ~$30k below what I've seen advertised by sellers in the states. With the used one being $10k less than the new one.

Question I am debating now is whether to trade in a bulk of my collection to obtain this monster! I would need to sell the following to make the numbers work:

(1) Rolex WG skydweller
(2) Rolex platinum day date 2
(3) AP RG ROO 44mm novelty
(4) AP 15202 jumbo

This would leave me with:

(1) Patek 59801r
(2) Patek 5970j
(3) Rolex DSSD
(4) Rolex YG GMT2c

Would you do it? Kind of fun thinking about it! Going to post in the Patek forum as well to get balanced views.
