Two Vintage Breguet Pocketwatches Added to the Brand’s Collection of Historic Timepieces
Montres Breguet added to its private collection of historically significant watches, when brand president and CEO Marc A. Hayek acquired two important lots at a Christie’s Geneva auction last year: the Breguet no. 4039, a half-quarter repeating watch with an off-centered hour dial and date indication, and the extremely rare Breguet Tourbillon no. 1176.The first watch, the Breguet no. 4039, was originally sold to the Duke of Berwick on September 30, 1825, and went for a final auction price of? 70,000 Swiss francs at Christie’s. It is a remarkable example of one of Abraham-Louis Breguet’s extra-slim repeating timepieces made “sur les principles des chronom��tres” (on the principles of chronometers). The Breguet No. 4039 has a case made of 18K gold and is outfitted with the “Caliber 21”'” movement, with an additional complication for the date indication (in a window at 6 o’clock). It has an engine-turned silver dial with Roman numerals

The battle within! An AP ROO RC or Millenary Black/Steel?
**NOTE** I TOOK THESE PICTURES OFF OF THE WEB AND THEY ARE NOT MINE!I have been debating this choice for about two weeks now and have not been able to pull the trigger on either one.I would use the RC much more then the Millenary but I absolutely love the Millenary even though it would be more of a business attire watch. Funds at this time do not allow myself to indulge in both as I just bought a FC not too long ago and must control the urge to buy them all.I can get either one for a great deal. BOTH USED COMPLETE!I found a gently used Millenary black/steel for 14k.I found a black on black ROO RC for 12k but would like the white dial over the black.I know everyone loves a nice ROO :) but I would love to hear from some of the Millenary owners here about what they like and dislike about the watch as I have not tried it on or seen it in person! A wrist shot is welcomed as well ;)What are your thoughts?

Omega bracelet information source . . .
I am looking at a lady's Seamaster, but the only discernable number visible from the outside is 933 on the bracelet.Does anyone know of source material that lists the various Omega bracelets and the models to which they correspond?If I can confirm its authenticity I'll buy the watch . . .Thank you.
