You either buy a pre-owned 5002 or a new 5010. The 5004 has a missing 9 and that might bother you in the long run.

How many watches do you have currently "on order"?
By: 1WatchMan : August 12th, 2019-22:59
I just realized that I'm waiting for four 😱 It sounds a bit crazy for me, but unfortunately, some of them might never arrive (you know what's going on with the market nowadays), but what if I receive the calls? I'd better be ready to pull the trigger 😄 Wh...
3 [nt]

You need a new formula.
By: Rapwatch : August 14th, 2019-10:00
number of watches [n] number of years waiting list [y1, y2, y3......yn] Crazy factor=n divided by sum of years waiting ..........

Hehehe, you're quite right
By: 1WatchMan : August 13th, 2019-14:54
I would be very lucky if I receive 2 this year, so no other option but wait 😫 Thank you!
I have 5 so 4 sounds about right! :-)

I am actually about to add a sixth to the list (the Gronefeld Remontoire) but the plus point is that I have managed to space them all out so that I do not have to sell any body parts 1. Cartier Crash - December 2019 2. Patek 5212A - end of this year or ea...
Thank you!
By: sham1 : August 13th, 2019-03:50
By which time, the list price of the 5711 may have doubled!!
Wow, what a plan! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
By: 1WatchMan : August 13th, 2019-15:03
You have a serious plan ahead to execute, I wish you the best luck! It's hard to assimilate that your AD or Patek has promised you the 3878 in 9 years time... 😱 Enjoy the journey, but I'm sure that you will add other pieces as you progress through your li...
A special arrangment
By: sham1 : August 13th, 2019-20:16
The 3878J was discontinued more than 20 years ago but a VIP customer had commissioned one two years ago which Patek had agreed to make. This order was cancelled after production of the watch and it found its way to the Patek Salon in London where I first ...
What a story! Thanks for sharing
By: 1WatchMan : August 13th, 2019-22:44
Never heard anything like that before. I do wish you get and start enjoying the watch earlier. You must love the watch a lot to be so patient.
Absolutely!
By: sham1 : August 13th, 2019-23:28
It is a rare gem and even at 31mm, it fits me well. Thank you for your encouragement! ...
Just one

Cazalea ...
A C8?
By: India Whiskey Charlie : August 13th, 2019-09:42
Can't wait to see it.
Three on order
By: watch-er : August 13th, 2019-06:01
but as you say, I never know if anything will materialize.
4 incoming watches for 1WatchMan? ;-)
By: rnaden : August 13th, 2019-08:33
Thankfully, I’m pretty much done and the last two years have been culling season for me. Going from 60+ and edging closer and closer to the number 12.
Yeah, sounds kind of weird 🤭
By: 1WatchMan : August 13th, 2019-15:22
That's a good consolidation effort, I have to learn from you. I don't want to get so far, but at a certain point I might start consolidating. I don't really know, time will tell 😜 Thanks!
No one at the moment.
By: MTR : August 13th, 2019-23:06
But I am going to place an order even in August! ☺️ Best, Thomas
Thanks a lot.
By: MTR : August 14th, 2019-03:24
I will do that. I am still negotiating the purchase price. So you can guess it‘s not a PP. 😁 Best, Thomas
Hehehehe!
By: MTR : August 14th, 2019-14:21
I have to confess I never have begged for a watch. If a watch I want to buy can’t be delivered within a reasonable time and at a reasonable price I decline with thanks and turn my love to other brands and watches. There are so many of them. ☺️ Best, Thoma...
Agreed and...

The worst part is that you have to pay dearly for what you begged...
What a question man !! Interesting
By: Horology75 : August 14th, 2019-04:25
Let’s see ...about 8 pcs and realistically I think I’ll get 5 by the end of the year . Rolexes have been carried forward from last year’s orders and yes Patek as well .
One for me
By: destrodan : August 14th, 2019-13:24
Two are going out (hopefully tomorrow) and one is on order. Kind regards, Dan
