Patek Nautilus 5711 vs Rolex Daytona Panda (white gold)
HelloWas hoping some watch experts could help. I just turned 40 and am finally financially ready to buy my first decent watch. I have always loved fine watches and now have saved and feel comfortable purchasing one. I am torn between the Patek Nautilus and Rolex Daytona Panda. They are about the same price so that is not an issue. As far as look I like both, I am slightly thinking about resale value just incase I would have to sell it for financial reasons, but this is not the top of the list decision factor. I know from reading they are both great brands. But seems among collectors Patek is considered the Rolls Royce and Rolex is considered mercedes (not my quote but a collectors). I know some of the decision is personal taste but any other factors like quality, resale, and or collect ability. Feel free to add your personal opinion as well. I love hearing knowledgable speak about watches, I am learning a lot!thanks you

INVICTA- Is it too inexpensive to be any good????
I thought some of you would enjoy this interview from the past from Invicta CEO Eyal Lalo.I have a lot of respect for all the collectors and for the high end watch collectors who probably don't like the products being sold so cheap.( INVICTA WATCHES)RP: Richard Paige - TimeZone.comEL: Eyal LaloRP: Could you tell me about the background of the company?EL: I'm a third generation watchmaker from a family in Switzerland. I have the Invicta distribution for the Latin American market, and I own the brand. My family marketed Invicta in the European markets and other markets including the Middle East in the 1970's.

My grandmother had a lot to do with the Invicta brand in her days. She still supervises the collection.RP: Was the company making new movements up to that time also?EL: No, the populari

5970 vs 5270?
I am starting to debate my next Patek purchase. I am dead set on either getting the 5970 or the new 5270. I like the 5970r aesthetically the most and the 5970p the second most but there is a big difference in price. I am debating going with the new 5270. Obviously it is only made in white at this time. I would love your overall thoughts and thoughts on short and long term collectibility of each piece. Thanks in advance!
