You never own a Patek, you merely hold it until the service center needs it back 🤣.

No I’m not saying they aren’t built well. I’m saying the service center has a reputation for..taking their time.

So you will need something else to wear. It’s always good to have a watch you enjoy, that isn’t too precious, just in case you need to send your nicer watches to get service or need to go somewhere not suited for your top tier watch.

Just my opinion.

Should I sell my Max bill now I have a 5196r?

They are so similar in terms of Bauhaus design, and I haven\'t been wearing the Max bill for years since I\'ve gotten my finer pieces such as the calatrava and steel Rolex and APs ...  

For me, there is an occasion for every watch

I find it to be a very attractive example of a unique design language.

No way!

I quite like your Max Bill. Just personally, I would find myself wearing the Max Bill on more days than the 5196R

Close design but different feel I suppose

Welcome to wps. Selling a Max bill? It is a bargain. a few bucks. A Max bill is ideal when repair an old timer. Give it away to somebody who like it.

thanks for all your replies!

and thanks to 5196r for bringing me to this warm community you have good points - it's not going to be much monetary value even if I sell it. I should think about wearing it or giving it.
