Give over George, it's getting boring.
Hi Guys,
What are the rarest PP's at the moment on the market (current models not vintage)?
5711a, 5712a....?
George, I know you say that you have bought three watches during the life of this thread, but do you have any intention of buying a PP and if so which one. I don't think I have the stamina or the will to live to read back over the whole thread.
I guess the 5% or so price increase is irrelevant for a fantasy buyer eh George?
Wonder after the rise if you'll still keep this thread going 😜
Watch Alert!
Shut the thread people. I made a decision and put an order in for an Aquanaut
BTW- Geneva closed all waiting lists for 5711a and 5167a
Really? That's a shame, but maybe, just maybe there is an update due very soon :)
It's just a matter of time...
I did enquire the other month about a 5164.
Was told with the introduction of the 5650G, the movement may soon be discontinued.
Thats what I was told by PP
one funny thread lol!! made my day
Anybody know if Watches of Switzerland (Regent St) now have dummy Nautilus models to try on??
I read this on another forum. Popping over soon so if this is the case I will go for a visit!
I was in Lenard Dews today they had one in, but I was the dummy wearing it, boom tish

Get the dealers to put it on a Timegrapher before you buy it.

Ever wondered what these people think of you? They are human beings, with feelings, too.
Bad breath preventing your purchase of a Nautilus and Aquanaut :)
I feel your pain George, you've genuinely being trying to buy since last November and people keep putting objects in your way. a strong bout of halitosis has knocked you out the game once again. May I suggest carrying tic tacs* in case such an event happens again, so you'll be able to combat the problem.
* Other mints may be available.

I bought my first PAM from the WOS Regent Street store and got a few extras thrown in, along with glasses of champagne to boot!
Having been back since, I will give you that some of the staff are a bit hit and miss, but on the whole its a pretty good store IMO. Very slim chance of getting any of the hard to get watches at RRP though, but pretty sure that's the same for most shops in London
I wouldn't bother with any central London dealers for purchases any more. The only decent service is from the PP Salon and Wempe.
To be fair to George, buying a Patek isn't exactly small money and I can appreciate the dilemmas/choices it can throw up. And for more novice collectors the dynamics with ADs/pricing can be a complete minefield.
Hopefully when he can George will share pics of what Patek he eventually gets. Remember the journey counts as much as the destination!
