Horological Meandering: Between these two the PF but I'd get an RG C2 or C4 over either of those...

While the PF is an eye pleaser it also feels quite boring to me. Never thought about getting one myself. I find the C a lot more edgy and interesting but I have gone back and forth on the dial layout. What I do know is that I am not a big fan of the bracelet variants. I have thought about getting a

Automotive: Not surprised ... At a Regionalliga game of Fürth II at Heimstetten, a small Munich suburb, there were lots of Porsche parked around the field ...

Just a few hundred in attendance but the ticket, beer, and sausage prices were little different from 2. Bundesliga.

Patek Philippe: The more I think about the 50th Nautilus release the less I like it for a number of reasons ...

1) I certainly do not want the cheap and awful looking engraved rotor and even less so on a 100k watch. Ruins the beautiful 240 movement in my eyes. 2) No date and no seconds looks great but the date on the 5711 has never bothered me and I use it a lot. 3) To me around 8 mm thick is a sweet spot. I

Patek Philippe: Given collectability seems to be important to you I'd want the Certificate of Origin and would not compromise there ...

The presence of the other items that came with the watch doesn't help me much when the one key irreplaceable item is missing.

... followed by 5230P as a close second.

Patek Philippe: Given that I have a recently discontinued AD I am currently focused on discontinued references :-)

More seriously, I have always had a soft spot for the celestial complication and the 6105G is very cool but it is also out of reach. The 5610/1P is lovely but in a small collection it would only make sense instead of my blue 5711/1A which has been getting lots of wear since I got it from my former A

Patek Philippe: The sporty new design of the Celestial is more like what I had expected when they served up the Cubitus for a new sports watch line...

... this is the star of the show for me but 47mm is not for the faint of heart. Other than that the platinum 50th Nautilus is very nice. For practical reasons I tend to prefer a date though. Also not a fan of the engraving on the rotor which looks kinda cheap and carelessly executed to me. Much less

Horological Meandering: Listening to this guy gets old very quickly...

I had run into his content a few years ago and he has kept sending the same messages and using the same punchlines ever since.
