Opening Ski Weekend with Submariner!
Hello Friends....Well, this past weekend some of the major ski resorts here in CO opened. Sarah came to visit from Tampa and we stayed in Breckenridge; however, only one run was open. The first day we skied Breckenridge, but it was not until the next day when we checked out Keystoneand we hit the Jackpot! They had more runs open and not to mention a new gondola system, so you got to stay warm all the way up. The last day, we hit Arapahoe Basin...this was pretty good but a little too fast and somewhat icy. :eek:I think this is going to be a great year for skiing! So, any WIS worth his salt would take his trusty camera along and snap some pics. Please enjoy them:On the lift at Breckenridge....Mandatory wrist shot (there is more of these)Sarah posing at the top....So, we call it a night and after breakfast the next morning, we saw this in the street.....seems like PBR is the "en-vogue" drink to haveI prefer "Natty Light." Then we hit Keystone....it was niceand snowing!The new Gondola

My Favorite Customer......
Last Season, I had a killer Wittnauer, asymetric case, and bubble back, in very very nice condition .......I was asking $400 for it .......it was a lovely watch....then one sunny afternoon, a young man, not very tall, and slight of form, with handsome features and the golden skin of a descendant of the Spanish noblility who came to this continent hundreds of years ago, walked by, stopped and turned around, .......he had spotted the vintage watches ..............He spent quite a long time perursing the group, as we chatted about old watches ......then his eye caught the Wittnauer.......we're talking fatal attraction here, you all, are only too familiar with the feeling huh ? .....nothing would do but he try it on ....( I had a simple formal black leather band on it ......)......He put the watch on, and we both stared in wonder at the watch, his wrist and how perfectly at home and just "right" it looked .....then we looked at each other and grinned two big grins ! ......but he was just g

A time for thought.
My friend GLADIATOR aka Adam, received an email from his great mentor, the man who had sold Adam (and taught him so much) his greatest watches. The 'English Gentleman' had disappeared for a while, for health reasons, thankfully he has recovered and taking off where he had left Adam some 10 months ago.As part of this process, Adam took time to explain what he had purchased and where it fitted in his collection, which 'The English Gentleman' had already known very well.A mentor always takes times to listen, before jumping in with new advice.Anyway within this process of back and forth email (with pictures), Adam received the following very strong 'criticism':Quote 'English Gentleman.'Your back-set Harwood is another gem. These are very rare indeed. In almost thirty years, I have owned maybe three or four at most. I have a firm policy of never naming my customers, but I sold a identical watch to yours roughly three years ago to >. Unfortunately, the poor chap died of a heart attack ab

5164 v 5524
Hello all,I do not own any Pateks but am currently looking to add my first. I am eyeing either the 5164 steel or 5524. All things considered which would you add personally and which do you think would fit my collection the best?A brief background. I travel very frequently for business and I really like how simple and easy the gmt function is to use on the pateks. I am not a huge nautilus fan so I am not considering that at this time. I own a Rolex 16710 GMT which was my first watch I purchased but only wore it for a couple of months after learning of the 3186 movement. Now it just sits in my safe, I will likely sell this watch in the future, potentially to fund for 5524 if I go this route.I know to buy what you like, but I have to ask everyone¡¯s opinion on future value. As I am not a millionaire I am very conscious on what I do spend my money on. Whatever I buy, I am planning to keep forever but in the off chance I do need to get rid of it which do you think has the higher chance
