I'm sure he worked hard for it.. like all of us :)
Now the question is, when and where to find it at a reasonable discount

I am also contemplating adding this new CE44. At first glance, even when wrapped-in-plastic, it looks very impressive. But I need to take a second look. Another complication for me is that I already own the Ceramic Diver. It seems kind of overkill to have two AP ceramic watches.
It is overkill. At 35k what other gold watches would you recommend? And don't tell me an all gold rolex. I need something more special :).

Patek Annual Calendar? Not sure if you are into dressy watch. Quite a few alternatives from Lange as well. Or you can go for one of the newer AP ROCs.

I'm only interested in rolex, patek, AP for now. Mostly just AP. If I go patek it will be a nautilus.

I'm getting the AP ROC or RO in steel so I didn't want to get it in gold as well. Plus having a gold ROC and a steel ROC is kinda pointless.

Some extra photos in lovely sun this morning. Also a photo of my 5205R for you to consider jem7v, maybe not the style you like, but a lovely watch.

Oh your fiancée is like my wife, she pushes me to buy expensive things, until 5 years ago my mental limit was 10k for a watch, now it's 100 more or less if you consider I did a down payment for a Voutilainen and will probably in a few years get the new ce PC from AP, so good choice, marry her

blahhh it looks so good. I like the patek, I just recently liquidated my collection to start it over so I wouldn't want a dress watch as the only one to restart the collection.

I need to start with versatility. Plus I need something that looks good when I look like a bum. Gotta wear that patek with the suit :).

No question about the 5712 Neil, probably the diver as I can't see myself with 2 ceramic watches, though the PC would mean no more bulky and big watch, not yet ready for that, and on top not really sure, maybe the 5711 as I will have the 5712, and maybe add cash or sell also the 5167R, but at the time being not possible to imagine selling even one of those, there will also be the Voutilainen, even without the PP 5131 I ordered and really hope to get in pt, adding another AP without selling anything is kind of nuts, at least for me it is, not saying that in 15-20 years if my investments turn out the expected margins I won't go on a shopping frenzy, certainly will, but for the moment really enjoying them and no desire to sell, time will tell, but can imagine myself in 15-20 years with 3-4 top watches, 5712, AP PC, RM and Voutilainen, for the moment and for still long time surely will be at 6-7

The price is excellent, the same watch was 10k more before just different dial, too expensive but this one the price is great I think

How does the CE look at night, like in restaurants and clubs and such? Im still deciding between RG and CE, and started thinking that RG is looks better at night, while CE looks better in the day, but am I right?
