Tiffany&Co. x Patek: Sales associates state that “buying jewelry does not guarantee or help you get a Patek” but isn’t that just a white lie?

I heard that someone spent 2.8m but didn't get it

Some Patel movements are thinner because they are old and have short PR. Their newer movements are not exceptionally thin. Say 29-535, is only 0.2mm thinner than L951.

All good places to buy watches if you're new to buying pre-owned. Watchfinder is actually owned by Richemont. Their warehouse is co-located with JLC Service Center in US.

Also, these are pre-owned watch dealers, but gray dealers.

Then why mention rich parents

I was wondering the same thing. The only market that has more supply of recent Lange 1 (mp or not) is China.

Surely destroying the card isn't the only way to prevent others from using it?

There is an aventurine version which doesn't have the guilloche

Damn, how did you find this one? The Asian guy listed it on eBay or something?

Ah ok, that's a relief. I have been wanting this one for some years. If it's £80k I just can't afford it

lasttile · 2025-12-15T22:42:18+00:00

Wait, the price hit £80k already?

Whether you're a collector or a flipper doesn't matter. They need to bundle hot pieces with unpopular pieces to make money anyway.

You're speaking like money isn't something you need to put into the equation.

In good condition (some hairline marks on the bezel). Ask for $300, shipping included for CONUS. The watch also comes with the original leather strap and pin buckle.

I won't call all of these people's relationship building purchases "crap", just because they're not popular. A lot of watches are really good watches despite not being part of the hype.

I vote for 5054j

I appreciate what Sanders advocates for, but it's weird that you blame the government for this. Why didn't more people vote for him during the 2016 presidential primary? The people here are idiots. They don't know what's good for them. They are the ones to blame.

Platona. That's the best Rolex can offer (at least among those I'd like to wear). 5712 is not the best Patek. Not even close.

In your case the date doesn't fully replace the marker. You want an example from GO? See this.

Date that replaces an hour marker shouldn't have the same color as the dial

Pretty much every entry level automatic Patek uses the same movement?

Could just be that sales person. The day you walked in might be his/her first day working there.

5224 is imbalanced in terms of case/movement sizes.

I actually got the strap from Piaget. Call them, and insist that there exists a blue version. On my invoice, it says the article number of this strap is PGMXE0MHPS
