I’m sorry that your guys native language is not german and that this forum isn’t the best informed. No wonder if the focus is on Rolex, Ap and Patek... results in less informations about other brands.

The sport watch is confirmed and the montblanc thing is a rumor, like I said it.

And yes I literally created this account to confirm the sport watch bc I have very reliable sources to do so!
No need to be sorry we are very pleased that our native language is not German.

A gentleman would have joined to inform us of the rumors without coming off dismissive of the forum and it's members.

people know who i am/history, i guess and i strongly doubt most would believe me either... nothing personal but "whoareyou" is right.... no one has a clue

there is a couple people here who know a ton about ALS and have some pretty impressive pieces and i haven't heard anything. I personally have no idea

Nobody cares. That’s why. Why you would brag about it is indicative of your boorishness.

Kinda makes me want to sell my 5711, take advantage of the current prices and get a real Patek. A complicated one.
Totally off topic, but how often do you wear your 5711 in comparison to your Speedmaster?

I did some digging and I found your picture online. That’s you bottom left right?

Now it won’t be so easy for you to get away with it.

I do love Lange, but their fanboys give Rolex fanboys a run for their money.

Oh, the real reason why we are here is to enable each other

People discussing Patek etc rich? Not according to some of the posters here with watch collections well over $100k

At least it is a change from all ADs suck, greys suck (unless they are offering a discount), watch shortage etc posts

I know you were joking. I was also joking. It is not like we are discussing RM. People who own them are the biggest losers ever...



Love your (your wife's?) RM watch.

when there isn't a shortage then Patek sucks because value retention is in the toilet.

Somone is going to be mad no matter what. I just deal with it for what it is. Great sometimes, bad other times.

I just wear my watches and shrug my shoulders. "Meh".

Greys suck when they don't offer better discounts than ADs. ADs sucked when they wanted to sell at MSRP and not discounted like greys. Boohoo.

Haha, sorry, I wasn't actually serious in my post above. :) I was merely responding to this:

Quite a few misunderstandings in this thread. Not a surprise considering the people here are not really into watches :)

Seriously?

That's exactly the game plan. Any company would hope to be that lucky. Fast track 1 VVIP & queue 1,000 plebes.

Yup. It's actually called "good business" because in the end, business is about making money, and this helps.

...^^^....GQ Magazine "watches of the week".....^^^...

21 Savage’s wearing Patek Philippe Aquanaut

While attending his annual “Issa Back 2 School Drive”—let’s take a second to really savor that name—21 Savage wore a great watch. Issa Patek Philippe Aquanaut! While the model was originally intended as a sports watch, the spiritual little brother of the Nautilus, this particular edition leans fully into luxury. The 18-carat rose-gold case and chocolate-brown dial are the sort of details we’re used to seeing from Patek, whose watches are subtle and super-fine.
