Piaget Dragon Watches
In Chinese culture the year of the dragon is coming. How cool does that sound? I mean sure we can laugh at the year of the monkey, and no one wants to be born on the year of the pig - but the year of the dragon? Pretty bad-ass if you ask me. Well luxo brands getting drunk on Asiatic currency are gonna bank in big time this year. Piaget for example is releasing a huge line of high-end year of the Dragon themed timepieces for mostly the Chinese market.This range of photos doesn't even describe all the Piaget Dragon watches that will exist. If you look at them closely, you'll notice something they mostly have in common. A lot of diamonds and tourbillons. Yup. Piaget knows how important symbolism is to many Chinese consumers and is making sure that their sexiest creations are imbued with the power of mythical reptilians.Some of these creations are one-of-a-kind beauties, such as the fully diamond covered Dragon Bestiary Secret watch. For dragon ladies only. That one is likely to be a bit o

A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual Watch Available On James List
The perpetual calendar complication has been a fascinating and useful feature on high-end watches for quite sometime. Calendar functions directly related to keeping the time, and offer a variety of information related to the 24 hour cycle. Most watches have just the date, and the more complex you get, the more calendar functions you can record. Annual calendars measure the day, date, and month - often the phase of the moon as well. The benefit for those is being able to avoid adjusting your watch each month that does not have a 31 day cycle. Though there is still the matter of dealing with a 29 day February.Perpetual calendars step it up a notch by taking into consideration leap years, which occur each four years and affect the length of February. Perpetual calendars are named as such because they don't need to be adjusted very often. The next time any perpetual calendar watch needs to be adjusted (by one day) will be the year 2100. This sounds sexy even though none of us will be alive

Advice about buying a 5026G from Russia
I'm seriously considering buying this watch:.chrono24.au/patekphil...-id3340967.htmI'm hesitant, because it's in Russia and it's not a chrono24 trusted seller.It does appear to be a legitimate dealer, with a fair stock of exclusive watches (and not the usual ones you'd expect to sell for quick profits if you were in the business of moving fakes).So, I'm after some advice (predicated on the fact that I'm not planning on visiting Russia anytime soon) -1. What's the best way to determine their view of 'mint' is fair?2. How can I best check that the watch is a legitimate patek?3. What's a fair and reasonable way of managing the purchase so they don't get an opportunity to take my money and run? Lastly, does anyone in the know think that price is fair and reasonable - is there usually much room to negotiate in a deal such as this?Thanks!

A very Pepsi everyday carry...
I had no idea my everyday carry was this much Pepsi until I put it all down on my work desk this morning:I've carried fountain pens with those two colors of ink at work every day for years now, and it never occurred to me that they are Pepsi-themed until today!
