Casio G Shock men¡äs watch

Incoming !__________The Monster has landed.......
I was traveling on business THU and FRI and when I came to the office on MON, a neatly arranged group of my mail was awaiting me. I knew that thelittle box on top was containing something that would interest more thansome marketing material or business bills ;)Had the watch on my wrist for the whole rest of MON:1) feels very solid and well built, legibility is unmatched....co-workers are coveringtheir eyes if they run into me in the hallway :D2) I am very pleasantly surprised by the solid links bracelet.I know it would be cost prohibitive to have the clasp milled vs. stamped on this type of watch,but "IF" the clasp was machined - I'd have to say that the bracelet would 'easy' rival bracelets of those brands that cost several thousands of $$$. This bracelet is VERY nice - simple as that.It is SO MUCH better than the hollow links hair puller I had on my previous SEIKO SNZD71K13) This is the best $160 I have ever spent on any mechanical watch !!I will take some decent pictures later, but

Hello everybody I'm from Italy, and I really like the AP watches ;)

Patek 5990 - long term prospect?
Have just been offered a 5990 from the London Salon.Personally, it's been something I have been chasing since it was released (huge fan of grey dials + travel time dials), and I am now in a position to buy it. On the precipice of picking it up tomorrow though, I've been thinking - I am dropping ?40k (actually ?33.5 after tax refund) on a steel watch (even though its a Nautilus with a complication).What's everyone opinion on whether this watch will hold its value/aura over time? It may be a sought-after piece now, but I'm thinking 10-15 years ahead.Any input on this will be much appreciated.

Should we wait to buy more Pateks?
-Any of you sitting back on purchases based on the economy and watch market?I ask because every few years I'm fortunate to travel to Asia and have built a relationship with a dealer. This means I can score a blue 5711 or a 15202st and buy new below what these sell for used in the USA. At the same time, I already have a couple of PP and so I wonder...Just curious,J

The Annual Rolex Calendar
I'm relatively new to the forum and definitely new to Rolex (proud owner of a Hulk). I've become rather intrigued to understand what is on the horizon from the company. From what I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), any new models are annually revealed to the world at Baselworld. Does Rolex offer pre-Baselworld announcements of new models or are they completely hush-hush until the BW conference? For example, how long before last year's event did people know about the SS SkyDweller or the DaytonaC the year before? Are there years where there are no changes at all?Thanks.
