Swiss Watch Magazine 'Montres Passion' Crowns Two Piaget Watches As Watches Of the Year
It is nice to have your tastes validated, especially by people with such legendary priss a Swiss watch magazines. The magazine Montres Passion once again released the results of their annual Watch of the Year Award (2008) giving actual trophy awards to several watches in a few categories. However, the title of "watch of the year" and "best ladies' watch" were both awarded to Piaget watches. Both watches that I like a lot; the Piaget Altiplano Petit Seconds (aka the Piaget Altiplano Eccentric Small Seconds), and the ladies' Piaget Magic Hours.The criteria for the two watches was very different. Men's watches are judged based on style, mechanics, and practicality. While ladies' watches are judged based on use of materials, beauty, and uniqueness. For example, I don't think that any man's watch with a quartz movement would make it anywhere near "watch of the year" but that is ok for a ladies' watch.I wrote about the Piaget Altiplano Petit Seconds watch when it first came out a while ago.

Incoming: My First of 2010
Ended up buying a Seiko SKX007Saw it on a Bond NATO and had to have it. Hopefully Seiko allocated more money to the watch than the presentation. Snapped a couple quick pics. Nothing exceptional; the yellow hue is nasty. I'm at home with the folks, my DSLR is at my apartment. I'll take some wrist shots after I get it sized up.

Satisfaction?
Hi all, as you know I would like as my 3rd Patek, in 10-12 months from now, to buy a 5167R, but I am starting to wonder if I shouldn't either just get a SS, almost half the price, they abuse a little on this model IMO, paying 2 times more because there's a little bit of gold is a little too much IMO, even if I would probably be getting one when we will come back to France for vacation and since we will be living in Thailand we should have 16.9% tax refund, since the retail in euros is around 31K, with the tax refund it should be around 26K which is already more acceptable than 31K, but still¡­On pics I find the SS nice but no where near the 5167R which I find really special, but since it's almost impossible to see a 5167SS in real, by the way if ever you own one and come to Paris would love to buy you a drink and to see the watch in real life.I'm afraid that if I get the SS I would be compromising and would get bored of it, flip it loosing money and getting in the end the 5167R.Either o

Trying on a few grails...
Picked up a D-Blue today and thought I'd try on a few grails at the AD again. I've never taken the PM Rolex plunge, but I want to really badly after this visit:
