Introducing: The Baume & Mercier Five Minute Repeater Pocket Watch And Promesse Jade Timepiece
This is a very special year for Baume & Mercier – the firm is celebrating its 185th anniversary. (The company reckons its history from 1830, when brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume opened a watch dealership under the name, "Frères Baume," in Switzerland. The name Mercier is that of Paul Mercier, who with William Baume incorportated the company uner the name Baume & Mericer in Geneva, in 1918.) In order to mark the occasion, Baume & Mercier has chosen to introduce, at Watches & Wonders in Hong Kong, two new timepieces.

Purchase 116660 DSSD please help :(
Hello guys.I am due to buy 116660 DSSD Black. I went to Rolex AD in my local area then they quoted me $12050 + tax (No discount). I told them that I would think about it. However, I found a new 116660 at Chrono24 but the price is 22% cheaper than the AD I visited. The watch is also new, coming with 5 yr original warranty, and almost full-set (EXCEPT a white tag and bezel protector).Even though the Chrono seller one does not have white tag and bezel protector, should I take this one? The AD 116660 comes with completely full set of course but the price difference is 22%. If you guys were me, which one would you guys take?Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.Thank you
