Historical Perspectives: (Possibly) The World's First Perpetual Calendar Wristwatch, From Bregue
Here is the "Dollfus" Perpetual Calendar, nicknamed after its original owner – sold at auction in 2011, and not seen in public since.  Though it's well known in enthusiast circles both by name and reputation, we thought today – Leap Day – would be a great opportunity to look back at this historic watch - the first perpetual calendar wristwatch. When this particular watch was first sold, the price to the new owner, Mr. Jean Dollfus, was 11,000 Swiss Francs.  It was a lot of money then, and today it would be considerably more, but even the inflation adjusted price pales in comparison to what it fetched at auction at Christie's, in 2011: $475,618.  It's obviously an enormous sum of money, but the price becomes easier to understand, when you understand what the watch represents. 1 OF 4 It's quite simply one of the most important vintage wristwatches ever made by Breguet, and perhaps the single most important perpetual

AP ROC 26320 silver/white dial pricing?

How about an Aquanaut?
How about an Aquanaut 5167 A or a 5164 A for a OWG? How practical is this watch compared to a steel Rolex? Lifestyle consists of Office work/ construction sites, beach/pool, traveling, gym and other semi active activities. I don't think I beat my watches to the point of only a gshock could handle me but I don't baby them either. I just want a watch that has a low profile, rugged, efficient that I could use it all the time, no limitations. Note: I considered the 5711 but I've come to realize I prefer rubber. Thanks!

White dial Nautilus owner experience?
Hi all,I am wondering if owners of white dial Nautilus models could share their experiences and thoughts:Is this your first or only Nautilus?Any regrets or doubt where you wonder if you should have gone with a blue or grey dial?How do you find the usage pattern, for instance do you find it more sporty/casual than a blue dial Nautilus?Has the white dial 'opened up' or somehow shown you more nuances as you have spent more time with it?Thanks!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
