True...and that Patek above is way out of my financial league. Starting price is around NZ$23,000 at Partridge Jewellers...the ONLY Patek dealer in NZ....just opposite Mansor's. BTW, Mansor's does not have the Patek dealership.

But we are starting to see more and more PP's faked, so in the next year they will pick up the Patrek line to go along with the Rolexx line that you like so much.

I made a serious comment about you wearing a watch with a strap, then your TRFabused stress disorder took over and you thought I was making fun of you, I wasn't, but now I am.

This is a new model so I'm not sure what the pricing is like. The model is replaces (ref. 3919) goes for about $12,000 US new.

The simple Pateks are not completely out of this world as some might think.

I have my eye on some others before this one gets my full attention......

To define this further, I mean a watch that is easily attainable by any WIS, regardless of funds, gives great value, is mechanical, solid, from a quality manufacturer (or even manufacture), that should be in every WIS's collection at some point.

It doesn't have to be a piece of 'generational hand-me-down' quality either. That's why I said 'easily attainable by any WIS' and keep in mind, there are millions of WIS on the Poor Man's Watch Forum. It can be a 'froog' (i.e. frugal) but it has to be mechanical.

What are your thoughts?

Dive or Pilot watches with ETA's 2824 movement are ubiquitous and offerred at a wide range of price points.

Whilst Seiko makes a nice product, you can't have a WIS without SWISS.

As far as branding is concerned, it's almost impossible to make a bad choice.

This was my choice as my first "nice" watch.
