Partita Watch and Jewelry Store In San Francisco: Cornucopia Of Rare And Wonderful Watch Brands
When evaluating a watch store, my two main considerations are the selection and prices. A store has to have good watches which are priced well. Otherwise, I suggest people take their business elsewhere, but when you have the combination of an excellent selection along with fair prices and a friendly and knowledgeable staff; I am eager to give a watch store my business.I came across Partita Custom Jewelry and Watch Store in San Francisco quite coincidentally while walking along Chestnut Street in the Marina district. Each time I see watches in a store window, I have to stop and look. What I saw at the time were Schaumburg, Limes, and Graham watches sitting in the window. Rare watches indeed, and I had never even seen a store thus far that carried the rare Schaumburg and Limes watch brands. Upon walking in I was presented with many other veritable brands. I had the opportunity to speak with Beverly and Calvin who own and operate the shop. They have a very interesting take on the watches

Borrowed my friends watch today...
...a quite rare bird and for sure not to everyones taste, what do you AP-guys think of Graham?...47mm but wears quite well due to the destro chrono...

5970r vs 5270r
Hi All Would just like to hear opinions between these two watches. Which do you prefer and why?Personally I like the slightly bigger size of the 5270r and like the in house movement....

Could this be love? ... quick shot of my modest collection.
Just thought I catch these quick shots while they were all out and available, before sending them back into the darkness of the safety deposit box. They were all so happy to be out and about, just couldn't resist. (p.s. Explorer is sized and used by the wifey. She might even claim it is hers, but don't listen to her. )

Stopped by my local AD this morning, they have very few stainless sport models
but tons of two tone and gold in stock.They had 3 stainless steel Subs, all of them black, one no date. They had 2 Daytonas, a gold with MOP dial and a two tone with white dial.I tried on a gold Yachtmaster with black rubber strap, a white gold Yachtmaster II, a rose gold Sky Dweller (MSRP of $48k) and a gold Day Date 40. I'm still smitten with the Day Date and this one had the diamond baguette number markers which I haven't seen before. MSRP on that was $39k though so it remains my dream watch at this point. I did snap a picture of it with my cell phone.
