Enamel, Hamilton or Breguet - A Dial Question . . .
Hi Everyone:I've been looking at Tom's posts and there seems to be a reoccurring theme - the black enamel dials seem to be a favorite of everyone here (or at least, most everyone). They generally appear to have a clean look and they add to the vintage look of the watch.It's interesting to think that the 18K gold applied numeral was a more expensive dial and it was far more commonly sold than the enamel dials were. This begs the question - if enamel dials were more common, would we then prefer the applied gold numeral? Do we like the enamel dials because they are rarely seen and are more of a novelty?Unlike Hamilton's typical applied gold numeral dial, I do like the applied gold numeral on the Webster (see Tom's Webster post - Vintage Model for Friday, Oct. 24th - Webster ) because it has Breguet Numerals as opposed to the more typical stylized "Hamilton Numeral" dials that became more popular in 1935 and continued thereafter. Take a look at these examples:Enamel Dial on a Mont Vern

More Jewels=Better Precision?
I know it isn't always the case. Especially when some companies have tossed them in just for advertising sake. How many is too many? How few is too few? I recall 17 being a mark of a quality. What's the difference between a 17, 21, 25? Can the 17 still be a more precise movement than the 21s etc. regardless of the amount of jewel bearings?

recommendation for colt auto service !
recommendations for Breitling service ?? i have a local AD but was wondering if there is a less expensive option for a service . i got myself one and gave my bother a colt auto back in 2002 as a gift and in 2004 i had to have a new crown and tube put in his and just last week he said nothing happens when he pulls out the crown to set time , it just spins and no hands move . not sure if it will wind in the wind position or not ,but obviously needs to be opened up so a service is in order. i had a crystal put in mine a month ago and it was $300 at the AD So i am scared to hear what a full service will cost ! this watch was only 1550.00 new in 02 !

Just bought a 5146 - no clasp!
Hi I got carried away at a viewing today and ended up buying a 5146 annual calendar from Watch&passion (i can't post links but a google search will find it).I am delighted with the watch, but i can't help noticing it didn't come with1. A deployment clasp in gold with emblem2. the two things that slide into the watch cushion (tag and tool?)is this a deal breaker, and should i return it?I really want the clasp, as i think it makes the watch look special from underneath, maybe i can buy it separately? what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.
