Buy 3, wear during summer, sell 2

[msa.93]

Hello, My friend is considering buying the 3 pateks below to wear and enjoy during summer and sell two of them when summer time is over and would really appreciate your opinion on which ones to keep and which to sell.

The watches are:

1- Nautilus 5980 1r-001
2- Aquanaut 5968a
3- 5180/ 1R

Given that he also has 5711a in white dial, and 5711R.

Here are some pics to help you decide;

Personally I would rank them like this:
1. Nautilus
2. Aquanaut
3. 5180

But since your friend already has two 5711's, I would keep the aquanaut and sell the other two.

Answer is: the fruit isn’t ripe for picking.

By the end of the Summer an answer given today could be out of date.

Have your friend join here. Have him post his 3 “incomings”. Share the many experiences over the Summer months.

Then, when he is ready to unload 2 of them, he can post his own question.

I have a friend whose uncle's wife is a billionaire. She is buying my friend's uncle a Timex for the summer. Should she get quartz or automatic?

exactly this.

[WatchLurv]

I feel like the 5180 would break by a windgust. It's so slim and fragile looking.

[zahain]

OP are you also on the chopping block as a friend after summer? Seriously though why buy them and then sell a few months later

[GSDLover]

So many holes in the OP s post. Please make it more believable.
He's getting these three because......
He's got the money for buying these on a lark because......
The summer is his time frame because.......
This could go on and on.

I think that we should put up a Fantasy Board on the Forum.

Should I do a poll?

[Pateks]

Do not sell them after summer. Worst time ever to sell. Seriously...you need to wait till Atleat September. But anytime before that.....hooo boy! Trouble!!!

[Ichiran]

Many newly created accounts posting threads like this. I suspect they are the same person.

[kanye_mouse]

Is this a ... fantasy watch draft?

[superstarmar]

why not sell all 3 ? what's the point...?
Buy 3 Sell 3, remain with the status quo...

Does rubberB work on 5180

Quartz. Way more accurate. I hear the batteries last for years nowadays. I got my eye on one with that new fangled bright red LED-no face, just numbers. Genius!

[martinr]

I’d wear the 5180 all summer. Your friend could get great tan lines and that would be worth any loss he might take. Sell by September 22nd. And congrats on one of the dumbest threads in a few months.

Okay so you were the most reasonable with your reply out of all of the others who felt the need to make fun out of this post.

It goes like this, he's already got 40+ watches, he is getting these three because an AD offered them to him with a warranty card under his name and he thought that this was a good opportunity to further strengthen his relationship with the AD in that country.

The catch is in why is he going to sell 2 after summer ends is because the AD isnt offering them at retail price, they are all close to grey market prices. He still wants to enjoy his purchases but does not want to hold a nautilus that is worth only 90k but he bought for 130k and an aquanaut that is worth only 40k and which he bought for 80k, and i dont how much the 5180 is being offered at retail price. However, he believes that he can live with only one risky “investment” if thats what you want to call it.

Now the reason is why im asking such a question on the forums is because he wants to negotiate on the price of the watch that he is going to keep before making the bundle purchase so that a longer holding period wouldnt be as risky.

As to why summer time is his time frame, I honestly have no idea
