Now Men's Luxury Watch Style Writer At Examiner.com
It is getting to the point where I write more than anything else, but that is OK because I love it. Eventually some of you will need to help contribute to keep all my content bases covered. My newest area of watch passion expression is Examinerwatches-dealer. The fare is arguably lighter, but is for a slightly different audience - still the talk is on watches. Examinerwatches-dealer will need no introduction to some, but is basically a large news and opinion site where writers of different focuses and specializations are selected and given dedicated pages. I've been selected as the Men's Luxury Style writer for San Francisco, which essentially means that I will be talking about watches. Though when related luxury style items come up, I am sure I will mention them ("but watches are all that I know!").I've added an RSS read in the left column of aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer. You can click there to read my latest articles on Examinerwatches-dealer. Or you can visit my Men's Luxury Style page

Is this Patek Phillippe Calatrava a good deal?
I found this Patek on Portero and am considering making the plunge. However, that being said, I am not sure how good of a deal this is. That's where I seek the help of this forum :)portero/brands/patek-phil...802-watch.htmlAlso, how can I date this watch? The description doesn't say when this watch was made.Thanks in advance!

which should I keep, 233 spot dial, or 028 limited edition, need help
I am the happy owner of two special Pams, the 233 K version spot dial, which is the last and most reliable of spot dials, and the 2009 special edition Pam 028, limited to 1000 pieces, I got both brand new never used for a good price, 8200 euros for the 233 and 7200 euros for the 028, but I won't be able to keep both, so I need some help from you guys to make up my mind, as one of them will be in a safe so that it is brand new when I sell it, which won't be in the near future, but when I do I'll be sure to talk about it here.This first link is to the Pam 028 on panerai's website.panerai/images/prodot...M028_FRONT.jpgThe back is plain as you can see on panerai's site, so nothing special there, movement is a soprod, which basically is an ETA movement with the soprod module for power reserve added, good movement but from what I understand Panerai didn't do anything to it as decoration or improvement.Here you have the photos for the 233 spot dial, in all 4500 where produced before they pass

Closing up the studio for the day...
And getting ready for 5:00...Cheers!
