My dear watch friends! Sometimes travel plans change. And occasionally that leads to something unexpectedly nice. We were actually supposed to be in the Maldives starting today. Due to the well known circumstances it unfortunately did not work out. At the

Happy new year everyone…I am me tonthe Rolex world as i have been acrtibe as a Patek collector for 15 years and got everything from Nautilis to PCC and everything in the middle. I have never been attracted to Rolex until few week back i tried the platinum
