Just because...
Even though 2.5 years have passed since I got the 15300, my love for it is definitely still there...

Lume Cheat
I found an old UV black light lamp and aimed it at my PO. The thing glowed like it was plugged in. It was pretty amazing. All of the photos are short exposures - no long ones, so that may give you an idea of how bright this thing was glowing.Rob

Patek Philippe at Tiffany & Co.
I visited the opening of the Patek Philippe Salon and Museum show at Tiffany & Co. in New York yesterday. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the NY area as the museum is only there through Saturday, it will also be show in Beverly Hills in May. Many beautiful and historic pieces as well as the new Patek Philippe watches announced at Basel 2008 were all there..pbase/treacle/pp_tiffany

I guess the whole Platinum part got me. To a non-watch guy it would just look like steel and being the non-hot model makes it appeal more. Come to think of it I don't think I've ran into a Pt in the wild. It's monotone, plain but there's an easter egg.In terms of not-so-hot model comes the 16570 polar. The polar has a GMT but not exactly; with the scarcity of Alum bezel GMT's the 16570 has started to fill the demand hence prices creeping up.With both 16622 and 16570 the main drawback is the bracelet. 116622 comes with the newer bracelet but will come with added premium. From discussions here I also read that the 5 and 6 digit dials differ ever so slightly?Another possible
