Swiss Watch Magazine 'Montres Passion' Crowns Two Piaget Watches As Watches Of the Year
It is nice to have your tastes validated, especially by people with such legendary priss a Swiss watch magazines. The magazine Montres Passion once again released the results of their annual Watch of the Year Award (2008) giving actual trophy awards to several watches in a few categories. However, the title of "watch of the year" and "best ladies' watch" were both awarded to Piaget watches. Both watches that I like a lot; the Piaget Altiplano Petit Seconds (aka the Piaget Altiplano Eccentric Small Seconds), and the ladies' Piaget Magic Hours.The criteria for the two watches was very different. Men's watches are judged based on style, mechanics, and practicality. While ladies' watches are judged based on use of materials, beauty, and uniqueness. For example, I don't think that any man's watch with a quartz movement would make it anywhere near "watch of the year" but that is ok for a ladies' watch.I wrote about the Piaget Altiplano Petit Seconds watch when it first came out a while ago.

SMP Changing out to Ceramic bezel?
Hi folks. I dont post much but do a lot of lurking... Love the forum.. anyway, I have a SMP 2220.80 with a flat blue aluminum (I guess) bezel. I really like the look of the ceramic bezels. Is it possible to change out these things? I know modding watches like this is not recommended... but I don't care, it's a keeper for me. Also I suppose if you can swap out the bezel, you can put it back to original.

can i fix this myself?
is this normal on a speedy? can i fix this myself?thanks for any advice.
