The new Millenary 4101 has been awarded the first prize in the Prix du Public category at the Grand Prix d' Horlogerie 2011!And what a stunner she is, Wouldn't you all agreeHere's me trying it out earlier this year

Omega info please
This watched belonged to my late stepfather and was bought brand new as you can see from the original receipt.I've had a little look around on Google and the watch code stands for / gents gold plated / leather strap / stainless back / electronic / non waterproof / calendar.Apart from this I know nothing regarding collectibility or value etc as I can't find the same model for sale anywhere. If it is of interest to Omega collectors I would rather it go to one of those rather than pass it to my son in the future only for him not to appreciate it.The watch is in near mint condition .. it is not currently working but it hasn't been worn for 18 years and so i'd guess this a battery issue.Any further info you can offer is appreciated greatly.

Patek mind games: separating the money from the watch
I've been collecting watches for about ten years. I've had over 100 watches of almost every brand, from Anonimo and Marathon to Doxa and Panerai. I always come back to Rolex. For a long time, my dream watch was a 5512 and I've been wearing one now for about 6 months. But lately, I became spellbound by the 5711. I've never owned a watch anywhere near as expensive as the 5711.I'm in a position to buy one if I could find one secondhand or get on a wait list. But I'm having kind of a watch crisis. Being able to spend $30K on a watch has been messing with my mind a lot. Now I look at, say, a 16610 - a watch I dreamed of for twenty years that I've now owned in multiple incarnations - and it seems rather diminutive. Why? I keep thinking, A 5711 is like wearing 6 16610s. I feel like the money is really blurring the line between ego and appreciation. It's like being able to afford one has the potential of turning me into an instant watch snob. I'm worried about how my thoughts have transitioned

THE "perfect" watch 5711 blue dial
I'm young, but..... after several watches that i owned.... My favourite still the 5711 (also 3700). Just perfect, proportions, elegance, class, presence, the unique character.....I have to say that sometimes this perfection get me bored a little bit. As a human i get used to it... that's the only problem... i try to rotate it with other watches, but is not the same. My mind will always be with the 5711.Tastes change. Sure. But for now is hard to wear something different.A pic from today

Swiss (crown) Made on dial for SD43 2018 onwards?
Does anyone have information whether all future SD43 126600 will have crown in the middle of Swiss Made on the dial effective 2018 as shown in all new models launched in Baselworld 2018?If it will, it will be like the SWISS only dials of 1999.
