Seiko 5 Automatic Silver Dial Stainless Steel Mens Watch SNKK41

Any sponsors sell Alpha?
I know nothing about the quality of Alpha watches, but there is one model that I find interesting. It's a 47 jewel Dual Time Trident Jumping Minute Automatic.

Brands and Resale
I don't have room or desire for a huge collection (I have a friend with over 600 watches). So I resell watches after a while. Some stay in my collection for a long time, some permanently, but some get flipped to make room for something new. I'm finding no problem reselling my Invictas on Craigslist so I'm currently at over 20 Invictas in my collection and selling some that I'm bored with to get down to about 10 keepers.So what to buy next? More Invictas of course. If I buy an Invicta wisely, for a couple hundred dollars, I'm not losing huge dollars when I sell it later. But what else? What other brands are reasonably affordable and also have easy resell?Hamilton kind of interests me. unfortunately, most of the models I like are $1100-$1400 so selling one unit later means losing hundreds of dollars.

Is it worth buying OEM Patek Strap or trying other strap makers ?
I would like to replace the strap on my 5146R It has a deployment clasp. I think Camille Fournet is a good alternative? I am in Manhattan and see they have a shop at :Address: 509 Madison Ave # 510, New York, NY 10022Does anyone have experience with them? can i trust them to remove the pins and deployment in my Patek or should I buy a strap and take it to an AD? Also what color choices do you guys like with your rose gold pateks?

Nice AD gave me some gifts
Hi allJust a story I wanted to share, I had a short break in York (UK) and in the hotel I was staying at they had the following book in my room...I was obviously very pleased about that! Turned out the same book is in every room (so it was not special treatment lol). So inside the book it had the name of the local AD and obviously I had to visit wearing my Breitling Colt!They are a lovely bunch and they could see my knowledge and enthusiasm for the brand (I flashed my Patek wallet lol). I told them about the book in the hotel and they obviously knew all about that. I asked if they had a spare copy of the book and they said yes and popped it in a nice bag for me. We carried on talking, I tried on the 5119r and showed pictures of my collection. Then a lady put a box on the table and said we want you to have this. A lovely Patek Philippe tie!! I was overwhelmed, I have bought nothing from them ever. They even invited me to their private party in November where they are going to have some
