Maison Patek Philippe Watches For Shanghai
While I would not tend to be a person who checks off "full pave" or "dragon dial" on the list of things I like in watches for my self, this diamond studded version of the Patek Philippe Nautilus with an engraved enamel dragon dial is really beautiful. They call is the reference 5720/1 "Dragon" in white gold, and it is part of a collection of limited edition and piece unique models Patek Philippe has released for their new place of business in Shanghai. It isn't just a boutique, it is a "house" (maison).Patek Philippe did have an existing boutique in Shanghai but closed it in favor of a new palace which celebrates the brand and is called the Maison Patek Philippe. The brand spent about a year restoring a building originally build in 1849 in Shanghai's Bund district that the government started to rebuild in 2004. It was considered an historic monument, but somehow Patek Philippe acquired it in 2010.The new Maison Patek Philippe (click to see video and pictures via Patek) is huge with 1,2

Opinions on Broad Arrow
I have a PO 2500, SMP and Aqua Terra Skyfall. Sold all Rolex watches, but I still like Expy 1 39mm, Sea Dweller and Pespi. If you were going to buy another watch, would it be one of the Rolex watches above or Speedmaster Broad Arrow. See pic. thanks

A walk-about with the 5270 (pic heavy)
It's 75 and sunny in LA, so a nice day for a stroll. I snapped a bunch of photos of the 5270 along the way. None are great, but I thought I'd share just for fun..

How different is the DJ SS Blue dial vs the Sky-D SS Blue Dial in real?
Can anyone comment, on how different are the blue dials that are available on the SS version of DJ and Sky-D? If someone has seen both the watches in person? Looking at the pictures on the Rolex's website, there seems to be a slight difference. The blue dial of Sky-D has a bit of shimmer. But they don't mention if there is any difference. In person they might be more similar than when looking at the pictures online!?I was lucky to get an SS Sky-D with black dial. However, haven't tried any Rolex with blue dial yet. So wanted to get opinions. Maybe get a DJ in future with blue dial.

Datejust 41 vs blue two tone submariner
Hi. I am looking at a datejust 41 with the black face and jubilee bracelet in two tone steel and yellow gold. The other watch I'm looking at is the two tone sub with the blue face. I currently have a gmt master 2 all steel and feel the sub is a very similar watch except I love the blue face and two tone bracelet. On the other hand, I love the traditional looking datejust 41 with the jubilee bracelet. Any thoughts? Does anyone have either or both and does the datejust two tone with a black face still work as a casual watch? Thanks.
