John Mayer On Watches: Why I Bought The Patek Philippe 5396G Limited Edition For Tiffany & Co., By John Mayer
It's an interesting time for Patek Philippe from a collector's standpoint. The company has stopped production of some of its greatest complications  (the 3970, 5970, 5070, 5004, etc.), they’ve raised their prices substantially (in what I believe to be an attempt to sideline the secondary market), and a new generation of Stern has taken over as president. I’ve been somewhat skeptical about the direction of the brand based on some of the latest design updates, but after cutting the seal on the new ref. 5396G for Tiffany & Co., I know that the brand still cares about collectors. A lot.In fact, I think this watch is a message to collectors everywhere that Patek Philippe will continue to create instant classics. And this 5396 limited edition is one of them. 2 OF 7 The 5396G is an annual calendar made in a limited edition of 100 pieces to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the opening of the Patek Philippe boutique inside the Fifth Avenue Tiffany &a

Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA vs Submariner & Omega Seamaster PO
Hi everyone, haven't posted here for a very long time but at least now I have plenty to share!I collected one of my grails yesterday. It was supposed to be a 30th birthday present to myself but I wanted to avoid a potential price increase.It's a brand new Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea (DSSD). Now I know this is a marmite watch, some love it and others loathe it, but I love this watch. For a very long time I've been into watches and only during the last couple of years have I been in a fortunate position to build up a great collection. I've steered clear of Rolex watches before as I found them too conservative for my taste and my brother has a Rolex Submariner date which I found too small and just couldn't love the bracelet. It's also a competitive thing, I had to have a better model than him! But ever since Rolex launched the DSSD in 2008 I instantly fell in love with it.Just to clarify, I'm not a brand *****, more of an inverse badge snob. My last car was a diesel Skoda hot hatch and I lo

Check out issue 2 of The Watch Magazine in the Newsstand app. They have an article on the 40th anniversary of the royal oak. Admittedly, it isn't a great read but free to download and something else to read if you can't get enough of AP articles.

Vintage Seamaster 120
New to the forum... I would like to share a picture of my vintage Seamaster 120 handed down to me by my dad... recently had it restored back to its old glory with new bracelet included... I think its from the late 60's... I also have an older seamaster handed down to me by my grandfather (gold plated, late 50's?) but I can't seem to find the gold mesh bracelet to go with it (this is the bracelet he used with it but not sure if it is original to the watch)... I also have a bond seamaster 300 m which is an awesome watch...
