Guys, have a nice rest of weekend first of all. I can't tell you what exactly I'm waiting for as I am quite superstitious old fashioned man ( I know that superstition is a sin), but the piece I am waiting for scheduled for the second semester of the next ... 

It has been 4 years that I am waiting for the delivery of my 5070P.

First one the list in France, still waiting... Well, I gave up, to be honest. ;) Best. Nicolas

Sounds pity:(

Do you commit by putting deposit while waiting ?

There is mentioned about a change of taste ; totally possible (when a new piece comes along or taste for the piece that we are waiting for changes) Just wondering about "the waiting" process. 1. Do you pay a deposit (as a commitment) to buy and then wait ... 

no commitment no prepayment

missing answers. But seriously: I have a very strong feeling, also based on some facts, that the waiting times in general are getting shorter and shorter... Many nice Pateks are staying unsold with the second hand shops and the Patek AD are having much mo... 

Kari, great post!!!! Thank you!!!

I tried my wife's Mini and it's indeed a nice car. I praised it so much that the wife said that I can keep the Mini and she takes my Porsche... Luckily I have already 5167 with bracelet and strap so I was not forced to put the small car and simple watch a... 

I am the same!

I have felt like this for the past couple of years and as a result I have not bought or considered buying a new Patek (and its not only PP) for a while now, with the exception of my wifes birthday present. It is indeed insane that a 5159 can buy a really ... 

Sometimes i have the same feeling

just recently i had an idea to build my collection based on the following: "Simle and grand complications" only, i.e. Calatrava and MR, Perpetuals etc. as Annual Calendars and other complications just spreads the cash in the pockets:)

Not long ...

... if you understand the process.

First of all congrates to you on your upcoming watch.

 
 By: Iceman : August 25th, 2013-23:04
My experience is if you order it from the AD, chances of delays or miss dates are common. But if you order from geneva boutique , they are ususally spot on the dates of delivery. Another factor is the model, the more complicated the watch, the greater the... 

thank you! i also think so!

true but...

if you sell that Mini Cooper in 10 years from now, you get a few grant at best, if you sell your Aquanaut after that time, you get at least your money back. I guess it applies to all art and collectables, it is on what you buy but how rare and desirable t... 

Probably...

However, I rather invest on land, real estate, etc. A flat or house represent some real value and they do not produce land anymore. I can see the time also from my cell phone but can't manage without a home. Another issue is that I love watches and those ... 

Yup. (nt)
