After starting this thread I've even started pondering the idea of trading my three watches plus cash towards the 5167/1a and then buying the H. Moser Pioneer center seconds with white dial if can get it for the right price. I would downsize from 3 watches that I would rotate (that's not including the 5330 since don't wear it anyway) to two but the two would both be very nice pieces. My GSOTM dial and the H Moser dial are very similar in color so that wouldn't limit me but I would lose the chrono function which I rarely use. And if I could work out such a trade then my next watch would be the dark side in black black. I could save and buy the black black by end of the year easily and have the everyday beater watch back in the collection and also have a solid black watch which I don't have now. I know some may say a ceramic watch shouldn't be considered as a beater but I've put my GSOTM through just about as much as my 16610 without a single scratch/chip/explosion etc... It looks exactly like the day I bought it and keeps time better than any mechanical watch I've ever owned. My only issue with trading my collection for the 5167 is that my 16610 was a gift to myself when I graduated college back in 2006 and its the last model year without engravings so thought would be perfect gift to my son when he graduates. But, I guess an aquanaut would be an even better graduation gift lol. Any thoughts on doing this? My collection is so small and new except the 16610 that it wouldn't really be like starting over from years of purchases. |

$15000 tops, the Patek market is very soft right now and there are many out there for sale. When I sold mine a few dealers already had enough in stock. Keep in mind if you're not sure when it was serviced, it may need it sooner rather than later and that is $$$$ and ~6 month wait. Some good deals on Chrono24. Don't rush it and call around. Been hearing Patek sales have been very slow from dealers.
