Movado Bold Silver Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch 3600257

First IWC and AD questions
I am new to the forum, but been lurking for awhile. I am located in San Diego and was wondering if anyone knew a good AD out here.I am also trying to decide between the Portuguese Chrono and the Portofino Chrono. Any opinions?Thanks for the help!

Out with the old and .....
In with the new. Well after 7 yrs of ownership I have let my faithful, trusty old RC go. This is the watch that got me into AP and I thought it would be a keeper. However times change & things move on. I have been having a bit of a shake up with my small collection over the last ten months mainly trying to thin out a few pieces which I haven't worn in a while and add a few newer higher end pieces. I am really pleased with the direction things are going in with AP as a brand and the opportunity presented itself late last week to get my hands on a piece I really wanted since it's release. I grasped the opportunity without hesitation and moved out a few pieces including my RC to add this beauty to my wrist. First wrist shot driving home The finish on the ceramic is amazing, the orange accents work extremely well IMO, the weight on the wrist seems perfect and having the display back is an added bonus. This thing is awesome! I think this watch is going to get a lot of wrist time, it's

Ordered it the day it was announced at Basel 2012
Hoped it would be here by Christmas.My longtime favorite dealer called to check on my wife (just got home from 18 days in the hospital) and said that it had finally arrived. I should have it by next Thursday.

Undecided.... Grail Hunt
Hi guys. Ok, as alway I need your advice in what would be a better decision. I like movements and PP drive me nuts in a good way in that area. Currently my focus has been set solely on the 5712 in either ss or Rose Gold. Lately , I came across the Patek 5205 (either grey of black) which has a similar dial to the PP 5626. So, what do you guys think? What is the model to go for? Is the 5712 out shined by the 5205? Or, is the 5726 the way to go between those 4? Movement wise, are the 5205 and the 5726 the same? I know the 5712 movement is a beauty with the micro rotor but the 5626 is also great. All that said, thoughts? Knowledge? Words of wisdom? Here are some pics of the models from the Internet.

Limited availability and long lists all a product of social media marketing?
In thread after thread we hear of limited availability, long waiting lists for steel sport models (where one is lucky enough to even get on them) and frustrated potential buyers. It¡¯s a new reality and we wonder - why?!?I wonder, might it have anything to do with social media? A byproduct of the rarity of modern Rolex sport models is the bragging rights coming with having got one. And in a braggadocious environment as social media in general and outlets like Instagram in particular, such bragging rights typically don¡¯t remain silence. Quite to the contrary, they may well lead to loads of free advertising.I mean the guy who walks into the AD and buys his dream watch would more likely than not just slap it on his wrist and be done with it, if at all, he might pass it along around a beer that same night at the pub, but that¡¯s it.Whereas the guy that gets the call after two years of agonizing over his Daytona - he does a ¡°got the call¡± thread here, live tweets the pickup, posts the whole e
