Get Political With A Breguet Ref. 3137 Watch Available On James List
I have been fascinated with this Breguet watch model since I wrote an article on Luxist a while ago about how it was seen on the wrist of Russian president Dmitri Medvedev. By the way, the above image is from Antiquroum via this webpage here. You can blame Breuget for not having enough images of their watches floating around the internet. So you probably know that Breuget is the king of "old school" watch brands. The love of Swatch Group kingpin (Chairman) Nicolas Hayek, and founder way back when by the father of modern watch making. Abraham Louis Breguet himself. The brand keeps mulling forth with classic watch creations that refuse to modernize - and that is a good thing.What is good is that Breuget watch prices aren't nuts. Sure you can get a $200,000 Breguet, but you can also get one for under $10,000. Clearly not cheap, but with enough savings many people can get one. This Ref. 3137 watch for example retailed for about $30,000 I believe, but is available for closer to $15,000 thes

Seamaster de ville
Hi guys looking for your thoughts on this seamaster I picked up a few years back in fantastic condition with original box & papers dated 1966 just not getting any wrist time probably as I've got use to the larger watch sizes. Anyway decided to give some time out of the safe today such a classic looker though

I love My Submariner...
I just can't seem to find time to wear it..?

A what age you bought your 1st Patek ?
My first Patek was really my 1st High end watch. I started with watches in May 2012, so for the last 6 months of 2012 I bought JLC, Rolex, Omega, etc; Until my 41 birthday on January 2013, I post a thread called Is Hobnail the Final Answer? Let's call a friend just in case . On that thread I was convinced that if I was going to pull the trigger for something that expensive like a Patek it had to be the strongest representation of the brand something that set it a part from the rest. So I thought well it gotta be a hobnail bezel, to make a long story short after arguing about all these Calatravas and frustrated with the case sizes and proportions at the end (after 50 replies or whatever ) I said screw it; I am not buying a Calatrava and bought a 5712 I was 41photo 1.jpgphoto 2.jpgphoto 3.jpgnautilus copy.JPG

Autmatatic Movements
I've owned a couple of self wind watches from a number of different brands such as Rolex,JLC, Panerai, IWC, and Brietling.Granted some of these didn't have in house movements but they had solid ETA movements.Regardless it appears that when I let my Nautilus and Royal Oak run down it really takes very little to get the watch running again. Basically picking it up and slight movement is all it takes and the watch will start running.I generally do give them 40 winds if I'm going to wear them, I just thought it was pretty cool how it took very little before they would start running.
