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

Initials on RO bracelet
Hello all,It's been a while since I've posted but I finally acquired an AP 15400.Love it!Btw, I noticed initials on the inside of the bracelet. I'm thinking they were from the previous owner. I like to think they are from the watchmaker that spent countless hours handcrafting my beauty. See pic. It kinda gives it a personalized, made-with-love & TLC feeling I don't get from Rolex. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!Cheers!

Great APs guys!
Love the Safari on Saturdays! What AP are you wearing today? HAGWE all...

GMT Master II oyster bracelet help
Hi to all, Been searching but can't get a definitive answer. My oyster bracelet for my K series 16710 with lug holes and SEL is a perfect fit on my wrist. Even had a permanent link removed to get it just right. Now I'm wondering whether it can be used on my 116710LN. The perfect fit plus the brushed links are pushing me towards it esp as it not being used for now cos I just got a jubilee bracelet to use on my 16710. And if it's possible then what tool is the best to use for the 116710 bracelet removal. Thanks in advance!

Rolex daytona WG vs RG???
First off. Hello and happy new year all!Would like you guys opinions please...Ive had my heart set on getting this RG daytona now for years and recently have cone across a time where i can pull the trigger on it. Always wanted a RG daytona on strap, I thought no watch could compare but sometimes when you look at something for so long you almost start finding flaws. Dark dial, cluttered dial etc....i still love it BUT recently i have fallen in love with the WG version...its a completely different look to RG but feel its more under the radar as many that dont know anything will think its just a stainless watch...Need your opinions on the 2 and what one you would choose?
