5524g... Love Pilot's. Love input
I've been contemplating pulling the plug on a 5524 in white gold. I love Pilot's, love patek, so it seems like a no brainer. My wrist is 6.75 in so 42 mm is my max. I already have a 5167r and an AC. I see that that the price in the Grey's are 10k less than new, is it worth it to buy new? . I feel this watch has lots of room to grow and could be agood investment piece in addition to fulfilling my Pilot's watch love. Would love some opinions.

Country Boy, why would you recommend buying new. You can easily save 20% on this watch used from trusted seller. Are there pitfalls to buying this watch used from a dealer?

These pix look great. Classic pilot, very useful travel time and date. I think I'm sold on it!

Build your history with AD in order to land more attractive pieces in future. Your name on the watch paper. Might able to have discount of 3-10% from AD. Peace of mind. I was in similiar situation and I went with my AD. Its worth it in building long term relationship and landing on hard to get pieces in future. Remember Patek ADs do have other brands as well (Rolex, Tudor, Breitling, Cartier, JLC, IWC, list goes on). So you are basically building a relationship with all the brands they offer. Simply, whoever buying just one piece, not planning of acquriing watches in future and do not need a strong relationship with AD then grey market is the only answer. But I will still not buy grey, pre-owned, etc. Everyone is different.

I have a 6.5 inch wrist and yep, my 5524g and 5522a wear big. That said, Pilot’s watches were designed to be worn big and it doesn’t bother me.

I love the 5320g and it's cream dial... I certainly agree with the pilot appearance.

Absolutely a great watch! Love mine ! My wrist is 6.75, this watch doesn’t wear large IMO.

I really like it as well. Never liked the original strap and it is so much better with the variations seen by members here. I have re-thought adding one to my collection as a result. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I’m always amazed at how heavy this watch is.

Don’t buy it as an investment, buy it if you love it. I’ve owned it, and it’s a very nice piece and would recommend.

Yes, I find it not heavy and pretty comfortable. It’s also very versatile. Go for it, you will enjoy it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
