Good advice

I'd do it if one of the ladies in your life would wear the 24. It's only money!

No other option. That is why AD offers these two nice watches.

5271p + perpetual calendar get 5131R.

265!

never mind I figured the 24 was around 100k

I think It's over price a lot.

RussW · 13 June 2017, 07:54 PM

So what is it then Brian - deal or no deal?

Gator88 · 13 June 2017, 08:43 PM

If you have the money then why not. Just ask yourself, if the 5131p was priced at 200k or even 300k would you still buy it? In the end of the day if you have the money they why not.

How about a counter-offer of 5131/1P + 5650G + 5271P + a perpetual calendar? These would still be very nice complicated watches and the AD would still make a lot of profit in selling all 4 as a package.

This is a good deal, but I do think it will work. I will ask.

Hi Brian, since you're not yet decided on the 5650.
Am I assuming London AD won't give you the 5131P? Maybe you tell Jamie you can wait for it in 2 years?
If not then maybe you can offer first time AD a "higher" price for their 5131P?

ARNON · 15 June 2017, 01:35 AM

Such an AD should lose the right to represent Patek.

Promise is a promise. I said "I will not ask 5131P if AD offers me 5131R".

I will not request it unless Jamie is happy to offer me without asking.

Jamie has other customers to deal with. I am sure many of his customers will ask 5131P from him.

Maybe it will discontinue within two years. Who knows?

There are many ADs even sell over price list. I rememberd 5131G and J was asked more than twice price of list price in Taiwan.

How did it go in the end Brian? Counter offer may work if watch still available. 5% tax refund... is it in Sg?

Tony, I didn't take the offer because it didn't take my counter offer. It is in Taiwan. You don't real get 5% tax refund and it is around 4% after fee.

No regrets, that 24 is simply not your taste or else you would have accepted the deal earlier. Let your regular AD work out for you since 5131p is a new model there will be more coming, and u may not need to be forced to get a bundle

You are right. I should get 5131P from London AD if there is a chance to get it.

But you said you weren't going to ask Jsmie for a P and the last few posts you were giving up the hobby, collecting tables and that Patek sucks following the destruction of the brown box!!

Karl's, I said I am going to look for a new hobby, but I didn't say "collecting tables and that Patek sucks following the destruction of the brown box!"

I like brown box and not happy that PP is going to take it away. collecting table is my old hobby and Russ said I shouldn't discuss it here. Please show me When did I say these.

I also said I will like to get 5131P if Jamie wants to offer to me by himself. I will not ask him first. I said I like some PP AND I am not going to be his customer in the near futuer because it makes me unhappy. Please don't say something that I did say.

Haha I didn't think he was serious, Brian appears to be a die hard Patek fan and that is a great understatement.

Attachment 868790

How do you like this offer?

Blackmail/Extortion, call it what you will. If you feel comfortable making the deal in your mind and financially then it's ultimately up to you.

PS - Your wife will be one happy lady.

Yes. You are right. I will buy patek watches if PP wants to sell the watch I like.
