Patek Philippe

Hello all, I know these questions can be frowned upon but I am looking for opinions as I don't have the ability to compare the two side by side. I currently have the 5146g and love the watch but find myself only wearing it to work (I wear a suit M-F). Lat...

not specifically with a trade like yours, but similar. After many experiences, I learned the hard way that my infatuation with a watch I wanted would overwhelm all good judgement just because I wanted something new or different, and I rationalized myself ...
