Mitsukoshi (Conversion) Speedmaster on Strap
Recently picked-up an OEM gator strap and deployment for my 3570.50, which I converted to a Mitsukoshi a few months ago. I really like this set-up: super classy (I think) and super comfortable. I will be wearing it like this for a while.

Omega '57 Speedmaster
If anyone is interested, I saw the new Omega '57 Speedmaster at the Omega Boutique in Los Angeles, at the Beverly Center. They had just one in stock, in their vault. Black dial, SS bracelet. At least, it was there as of Friday.Also, Feldmar's, also in LA, just received one today. Black dial, SS bracelet (I believe). They will take orders from out of state as well. First class AD and they usually will discount.I passed on the watch...it's gorgeous and a perfect size, but the timing isn't right for me. So, given that it's fairly new and not in a lot of stores yet, thought I'd put out the word...

Patek Philippe Geneva Salon
There have been some great write ups and pictures on thevSalon by both Ben and Andy so instead of rehashing the same old stuff, with the same pictures I just tried to fill in some gaps and maybe cover a bit about why I was there. The Salon is certainly impressive and I think could be slightly intimidating to a person wandering off the street. It was completely renovated in 2006 using craftsmen to restore the interior as close to the original as possible. Leather embossed walls, crystal chandeliers as found in Versailles and a heavy influence from the Napoleon 111, gives a sense of history. Whilst the building is 6 stories I was restricted to the ground floor (where the sales staff and watches are displayed), the first floor where the minute repeaters are kept (where the watchmaker is present) and then the 3rd floor where they have the boardroom, dining room and facilities for product launches etc. They moved to this building in 1891 which I understand was previously owned by Tiffanys w
