Hands-On: With The Breguet Classique Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Ref. 3797
It was June 26, 1801 that Abraham-Louis Breguet patented the tourbillon, meaning yesterday was the legendary complication's 213th anniversary. Breguet celebrated Tourbillon Day in New York City with an exhibition of tourbillon wristwatches at their 5th Avenue boutique, giving us a perfect excuse to go hands-on with one of the manufacture's most impressive modern complications, the ref. 3797 Classique Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar. Not only is there a massive tourbillon counting the seconds at 6 o'clock, but also a full perpetual calendar with leap year indicator and a retrograde date up top. This is a watch that shows off the very best of where Breguet comes from and what they can do today. 2 OF 6 Just looking at the ref. 3797, it's obvious you have a very complicated watch on your hands. One of Breguet's hallmarks is exceptional guilloche dials that mix multiple patterns and finishes to create a look reminiscent of the 18th and 19th century pocket wat

Vintage Constellations - need some info
Hi all,I recently can't take my eyes of the vintage 1950s/1960s Omega Constellation watches. Unfortunately I don't know much about them (yet) to make an informed buying decision. Are there any particular websites out there you recommend?So far I only really found this:omega-constellation-collectors.blogspot.ca/How much money would I have to save in order to get a nice Pie-Pan model from the 60s? I'm looking more for a SS model as am not really a gold kinda guy. (Gold markers and pointers are ok)It should look like this:.ebay.ca/itm/110866303816?...9#ht_500wt_951Has anybody ever bought from this seller? I don't want to buy a Franken watchThanks in advance!Herbert

5170p - incoming
Many thanks to those who offered their thoughts and advice as I contemplated this purchase. I find this watch to be absolutely stunning. I always hoped for a blue dial, platinum 5170. Patek delivered at the 2017 Basel, but with a little curve ball. The dial (blue to black from inside out) is one like I¡¯ve never seen. And the diamonds are not normally my cup of tea, but they truly are subtle and make the watch both dressy and fun. Here are a few initial pics, more to follow. *The plastic will be removed once I get home.
