Partita Watch and Jewelry Store In San Francisco: Cornucopia Of Rare And Wonderful Watch Brands
When evaluating a watch store, my two main considerations are the selection and prices. A store has to have good watches which are priced well. Otherwise, I suggest people take their business elsewhere, but when you have the combination of an excellent selection along with fair prices and a friendly and knowledgeable staff; I am eager to give a watch store my business.I came across Partita Custom Jewelry and Watch Store in San Francisco quite coincidentally while walking along Chestnut Street in the Marina district. Each time I see watches in a store window, I have to stop and look. What I saw at the time were Schaumburg, Limes, and Graham watches sitting in the window. Rare watches indeed, and I had never even seen a store thus far that carried the rare Schaumburg and Limes watch brands. Upon walking in I was presented with many other veritable brands. I had the opportunity to speak with Beverly and Calvin who own and operate the shop. They have a very interesting take on the watches

First Longines
And I love it.As far as I know a 1959 movement in a 1960 case. Am I correct in believing that "Baume" were the sole importers of "Longines" in the UK at that time ?What I also wonder is if this model had an actual name?A lot to learn and any/all comments welcome.

Need Advice in Canada
Well in Vancouver to be more specific.First time poster here, but I'm looking to pickup a PO and was wondering what my best options are in Vancouver. My friend suggested me to go to the peace arch duty free as they sell Omegas there and they are willing to negotiate. Otherwise I'll be going to Hong Kong in a February for Chinese new years however reading forums they don't seem to really give discounts anymore doh.This would be my first big watch purchase so I'm trying to do all the reading I can to edumacate myself.

Omega boutiques know nothing
Went to the Omega boutique in westfield stratford to see the 007 display that ended today, the display was great with some of the watches from the films and other bond props. Got talking with a sales rep and said wouldn't be buying another Omega as they don't give discounts and all the AD's are going, he said Breitling was going the same way as they had a boutique and you can't discounts from them or from the Tag Heuer boutique thats there. Funny when I went into the Breitling boutique and Tag Heuer boutique I was offered discounts in both. Looks like it is only Omega boutiques that can't offer any discounts.

New special addition Omega watch for Vancouver olympics
Omega has (per my understanding) released a special addition of 2010 Omega Seamaster watches for the Vancouver Olympics.Would anybody know what these are selling for?
