I want a steel 5726 but not willing to drop $65k. I have paid a 50% deposit at an AD for a Daytona and I went in last week asking to swap for the 5726. They laughed.

Congrats on an insane acquisition. Curious to know how long you had to wait for it?

That's amazing. Relative short wait. I hope mine comes in an email one day too.

One lesson I learned in collecting Pateks is to order a watch immediate after its launch if I like it. If not, the risk of a long waitlist only increases...

Sorry to contradict but that's as long as it could possibly be until the date it was received.

My AD kept me well informed on the ETA of the watch. He promised me it would come in 2019 and 6 weeks ago he told me it would be soon. The wait was bearable!

No doubt, the right AD can make the wait bearable.

Weren’t you banned here several times already? Karl was a great addition to the forum.

Goog53 is a good friend so why are you constantly nagging them?
