My wife and I celebrate our 10th anniversary in a few months and she decided to get me an early gift. I think I'll keep her

I am in Singapore right now and Patek dealers are every 100 yards. Would like to pick up some kind of watch before I leave, but not sure what. I am leaning towards the new IWC Aquatimer in a bracelet with silver dial. The reduced the size to 42 mm (non-chrono) which I think looks better than the previous model. I have plenty of time to shop around, but that is the one that's strikes my eye the most.

A friend wants me to buy him a Rolex Submariner with green dial. Best watch prices by far out here, especially on Rolex. He does not care about box or papers.

That's comes out to about $6800 USD for the green bezel Rolex. There's a new submariner model with a polished ceramic bezel that is really hot. I've seen a few people wearing them. Kind of like it better than the pepsi style one.

Looking for a steal on a Tag Heuer patriot. Anyone have any leads better than this?

Michael, have you been on Watchuseek? Or download the Watch Recon app. And you can list alerts and it checks all the watch sales forums for a particular watch

I'm a huge Patek fan. I'd never be able to actually OWN one, but their designs are striking.

If I were me, I'd need a smaller format to fit under the suit coat, though. And I'd go for older vintage Patek watches than anything else. They were more... "simple," which is kind of an oxymoron when talking about time-keepers.

I walked by a used watch store today at City Hall stop in Singapore (some good indian restaurants in the food mall) and they must've had 20+ Patek's in the window. Aquanaut, Nautilus, complications, you name it. I kind of kicked myself for not buying the Aquanaut over my IWC. At the time they were similarly priced, but fast forward 15 years the Patek would've increase 3x as much as the cost. The IWC is worth about 1.25 what I paid, but I could've owned a Patek!

Rolex's, this one store had about 150+ on display from current models and on; all pre owned. That is just one store and not in a fancy area either.
