The Value Proposition: The Archimede Pilot 39, With Untreated Bronze Case And Workhorse ETA Movement
Drive north from New York City and in about two hours you’ll arrive at Dia:Beacon, one of the finest collections of contemporary art around, in a remarkable setting on the Hudson River. Hopefully, while there, you’ll have a surreal encounter with "Crouching Spider" – a massive sculpture by artist Louise Bourgeois. What exactly does this have to do with watches?

How does it compare in size to a 36mm Rolex Day Date (any pictures)?

Opinions on PAM 320 and Cost
Hi, All.I am trying to decide between a PAM 320 and a Big Pilot. Probably prefer the BP, but the cost difference is making me lean toward the PAM. What are the prevailing thoughts on the PAM 320 these days? Also, how does $6,960 BNIB sound as a price...that is 20% off.
