Factoid of the Day 8-24-08
From mythbusters, the TV show:An electromagnet hidden in a wristwatch can deflect bullets.BUSTEDJamie built an electromagnet that could fit inside a wristwatch and mounted it near a target. Next they fired bullets at the target, making sure that the bullets passed close by the electromagnet. However, the wristwatch-sized electromagnet was not powerful enough to change the bullet¡¯s trajectory. The Mythbuster then upgraded to a larger and more powerful electromagnet, but it still couldn¡¯t deflect the bullet. Finally, the Mythbusters resorted to using a series of thirteen super powerful permanent rare earth magnets, which only deflected the bullet by a minor amount. The Mythbusters explained that a magnet¡¯s energy decreased exponentially the farther away you are from the magnet. Plus, in order to be powerful enough to stop a bullet, an electromagnet would need an enormous amount of energy that couldn¡¯t possible be contained within a wristwatch, which makes most of the magnet scenes in Bon

Newb 15202ST Jumbo question
Hi AP guys. Quick question on the 15202ST Jumbo. For the older version (0944), i know there is a white dial and blue of course. But is there also a black/dark grey dial? Or is it just a super dark blue that can often look black/dark grey?Also, how many links does the standard bracelet come with? Thanks in advance!

Review: Patek Philippe 5164a (HEAVY PICS)
NOTE: This post is VERY picture heavy so please do not quote when replying!!!As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I gifted myself a Patek 5164a for my birthday and promised to share some of my thoughts on this watch. I figured there was no better way to test my new 5146 than to take it on the road. So it came with me this week on my travels.Good morning! Driving to the airport bright and early.Ooops. Forgot to pump up… the 5146 looks fantastic under the bright lights at the self serve pump.Distracted driving has an entirely different meaning to a WIS with a new watch! Shorts and Pateks… I think they work surprising well together!I’m no Gerardo… in fact after seeing his posts, I persistently feel like I’m eating cardboard (it’s McDonalds… so yeah I am).Good travel watch on an otherwise boring flight. My neighbor did comment on my nice rubber strap (he was wearing a Breitling). Talk about nondescript.Can anyone guess where I am?After checking in

Cool dial
Not one you see every day, let alone two of them
