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

Hi ladies! Need your opinion and advice on a slightly awkward topic
I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean

Anyone willing to share their annual TC and how much of it they typically spend on luxury watches or what their most expensive watch is based on their income. I'm starting a new job with TC over 300 but still feel guilty paying more than a few hundred bucks for a watch.

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task.

I don’t want a screen, I don’t want it to be complicated, I don’t want it to be noticeable. I don’t have the answer, just the desire

Noob question, appreciate your help. What are the main differences between the 2020 sub and previous subs (the classic, black, no date)? I can google but am hoping for the additional insight of this group.
