Glashutte Sport Evolution Chronograph 39-31-43-61-02 Automatic Black Dial 42mm Watch

Incoming...finally arrived Getat! (Only one very poor picture)
After waiting for months, due to the somewhat laid-back attitude of the Russian postal system, my custom-made Getat, so popular on this forum, has arrived. First off, I'm very sorry there's only one pic at this time, as my camera died directly after taking this picture. Anyway, I'm an awful photographer.As others have stated, I'm impressed by the quality of this watch. I ordered a titanium case, sapphire crystal, blue lume hands, clear case back, SS movement (have no idea what kind of movement they use, wasn't too worried about it for $140 ). The band is very sturdy, with a hardy buckle and cool blue stitching. The face, as you can see in the picture, has no logo. (I can include more pics in the future if people want to see more inept picture-taking skills on display.)Of course, this isn't in the same league as a Panerai, watches I've worn a couple of times (my much wealthier friend has two), but for those of us who can't throw down $8K+ it's a nice option. In the end, it came exactly

Practical advice appreciated.
ChapsI have acquired 5 Rolex over the last 3 years and the honest truth is that I would like to finish off the collection with a Patek Philippe.I am currently attracted to the 5396G purely on appearance and also I want to go down the annual / perpetual calendar route and this brings me to my main question. Also please bear in mind that my technical knowledge of PP is below average.The question is - Are there any practical differences in owning either a perpetual or annual calendar watch. For instance is there much difference in setting up the time / date etc between the two and also are there different maintenance issues. Also any are there any pros and cons of owning either of these. Also is there any problems with buying the older models ?Due to my lack of knowledge I will probably buy from an established retailer but any advice on this would be appreciated. I am, incidentally, based in the UK.RegardsMick

Platinum vs gold can someone explain the price disparity
I really don't understand why platinum pateks and well as other companies charge so much more for platinum watches. Years ago platinum cost much more then gold. These days platinum is about 950 us dolllars an ounce. Gold is about 1260 an ounce. Granted they use 18kt gold which is 75 percent pure which equals about 960 or so an ounce. Platinum in watches is 95 percent pure. Another words gold is worth more then platinum. For those of you who think platinum is harder to work with that's not true because I ask a refiner.

Is it a fair trade? YM2 for a Blue Sub
I have a friend who is wanting to work a trade with me in my 116681 YM2 2tone w/ Rose Gold. He wants to give me $6K plus a 116613LB Submariner. Would you do this trade? Do you think it¡¯s a fair trade? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Off polish job.. or am I seeing things?
So I did the unthinkable. After enjoying my watch for a year and a half, al all of the scratches along with it, I got it polished after a series of superficial scuffs caused by getting my dog out of the carI took it to a well known ad in town and this is what I got back. Something isn¡¯t quite right to my eye. I have a sinking feeling I am going to need to send this off to get corrected. What do you all think? Where should I send it if it needs to be corrected? Do I leave well enough alone?I instructed them to only do the band and not the watch itself.
