How do I get an AD to put me on a Patek Waiting list? I don’t have any history with an AD but I am@in the market for a Patek Calatrava 6119. This will be my first watch. I know it is unusual for a first watch, but I liked it on my wrist a lot. Any advice on how to get on an AD’s list?

Honestly just ask and say when the time comes and they call that you will write a check asap

Its relatively the “easiest” Patek to get so it doesn’t hurt to ask and express genuine interest (ie convey you’re not a flipper). Just go in and explain that and what it will take for them to consider you. If they come back and say something about extensive purchase history, I may look to grey market (a quick search on Chrono24 shows it has almost no premium to MSRP at the moment and this will likely go down further)

Yea I mean if it is an AD that you know, or just express you are buying it for a wedding gift to yourself, or you just made some milestone at work, etc. something genuine.

Stop by and introduce yourself, explain what watches you’re interested in and then after that stop by a couple more times just to chat. You should be able to get it within a year of asking

If you’re in the Boston area, Tourneu had a Patek 6119 available for sale Monday night. I was in their picking up a watch I had serviced and was talking to Muhammad (the Patek SA) and he mentioned it was available.

Not a super hard to get watch. Just go to an AD and ask.

The white gold version is beautiful

Just completed my first Seiko mod! Thanks to those Seiko enthusiasts in this bowl who explained the process a while back. I added a Sub style bezel and ceramic insert, steel chapter ring, and double dome crystal. Happy with how it came out, and will be my new beater.

Fish fam - would appreciate everyone’s thoughts on my next purchase. I currently have an Omega Speedmaster Professional that I bought a few years ago (thanks to this bowl!) to start my watch collection and I’ve been eying Rolex Datejust 41 as my next piece. I decide on the fluted bezel + jubilee bracelet but I’m torn dial color (I put myself as interest in grey, slate, and white as my Speedy is obviously a black dial). Any thoughts on the below options?

Looking for some advice. My partner has a big birthday coming up and I’d like to get him a nice watch. My budget is £2k and I’m UK based. Any advice on whether a pre-owned Omega Speedmaster would be feasible for that price and where to start looking? How do I avoid fakes? If buying new- what comparable makes and models would be good to look at? Thanks all for your help!
