Now that is a beautiful watch. Simple and classic.

The really clean and simple VCs and Pateks such as the Calatrava are way more good looking than most other watches out there.

They make versions of most of them with two (three actually) hands as well. Trompe, is the thing okay to read? Do you get used to the singlehandedness? Aloha, Poinz

For the New Yorkers in this thread, I have a watch with a 2824-2 running about 30 seconds fast per day. I do not think it is magnetized as the watch has anti magnetic properties. Anyone know of a good reputable watch repair person in NYC. I just want to take it to the best place possible. Thanks!
