So, being forced to move my business (landlord is redeveloping the property) while it sucks its better as I am getting the chance to expand and do things we always wanted to.
Anyway, while cleaning out my office I found a PAM00352
I have NO clue when I bought this LOL! Likely bought it off a friend who needed to sell it as it's just not my style (I rather ND and no sub seconds dial personally). Really is nice and clean, someday I'll get motivated to sell all the watches I have no attachment...

Good find today!!!

Audemars Piguet 14790SA.

I really need to sell this and the 14790ST white I have and get an AP I will wear. Just no clue what… I’d like a Jumbo but these two aren’t going to fund a jumbo LOL. Id like a Chrono but don’t want screw down pushers so that will likely be more than these two would bring in

I know 36 works on me but to me it really just looks and feels too small.

So I have a 243J and I have not worn it in some time. No reason perhaps just because its buried in the safe and never the first thing I see.
In general I have always favored watches on bracelets but Panerai is the exception due to all the fun straps out there.
For some reason years later I am starting to miss my 233 (dot). I sold it for something else but I've started to appreciate manuals again and love the power reserve on the 233 dial.
Is there any reason not to get a 233 (dot)? I recall...

OK
While discussing watches with a friend he brought up the "grail" conversation. I said the Plat DD 40 and kinda realized I could actually get one if I just sold watches I do not wear anymore or have any emotional attachment to.

I can't decide if I want sticks or the diamonds.
In general I am not a diamond guy but on the Glacier Blue they almost blend in and don't "bling" like on a black dial. Im not interested in the Romans as I already have them on my YG DD40 which I am keeping.

So...

I don't know what it is but I just never find a good fit with a strap, either they are too tight or too loose.
Perhaps my wrist fluctuates during the day.
I have had custom straps made and still the same result.
It kills me as I have a few strap watches I really like (Moser Pioneer Center Seconds, AP 5214BC, PAM243) as well as a few others I can't think of right now.
It's frustrating as I really want a Patek 5270 but I just know I will not wear it nearly as often as I'd like to. I looked at...

A little over a year ago I got a 3861 for my birthday and wear it quite a bit but I have lusted after the new 321

I have been debating selling my 3861 and upgrading to the 321.
I am not keeping the 3861 if I do this as to me they just look too similar.

Any good reason to not get a 321?
I will wear it a couple times a week most likely in my rotation like I do the…
