3130/3137 to be discontinued...
Hi Nicolas,
Just received a call from my AD confirming Ref 313X is to discontinued. Hurry up if you want one! 
My AD is going to have one 3137 in WG arriving today. I am going to take a look, but at the moment I am more inclined to its replacement 7137. The dial of 7137 does grow on me!
Regards,
Vince
The back of 7137
Found this in the web. I think I prefer the engraved movement of 3137. Regards, Vince...
Thanks dear friend!!!
And my Baroque self remains quite unimpressed!!!!1 Some watches e.g. Tourbillon Messidor have to be undecorated... The movement and the tourbillon IS their decoration ... Some others like the 7137, with minimal complications (Date and reserve de marche) h...
Hi Tassos
Have you heard whether the 3137 is going to be discontinued? I called my AD today and they are unsure. Thanks and regards, Vince
I really do not know...
...in the last catalog, that i have, exists... It is a very interesting watch, but only 35,5 cm Still way more impressive Tassos
I prefer the movement as it is.
Thank you for the pictures. I think this is a stunning piece in white gold and seeing it in white metal has just put it in my wish list. The gilloché on the dial and rotor is exquisite, and I find a better balance on the dial with the power-reserve and mo...
Yes, I know it is a defect in my aesthetics...
...or rather a different perception of beauty... Sometimes, a simpler, cleaner look in a watch (5817) can enchant me, but most of times a watch back, like the one in my perpetual 5327, is able to make me look at the engraving like a work of Art.... That d...
Neoclassical vs Baroque
I would not dream of questioning your sense of aesthetics, my friend and colleague Tassos. Perhaps it is just that my perception of beauty is a little simpler, more neoclassical, than your Baroque taste. Plenty fine examples of both where I live. I saw th...
Yes, you are right...
...it is quite a personal thing... As is the color of gold... I have plenty of steel watches and I love their color... but in my ancient(!) mind gold is always yellow and the rather warm shade of it... like the one found in jewels of ancient (again) Egypt...
If one does a Review on a watch that one has not seen..
If one does a Review on a watch that one has not seen... Normally it would not be taken very seriously. But as watch lovers, that is what we have to do to make an assesment of our next purchase, because so often a watch is leaked on to the market with so ...
IWC Perpetual Calendar, Jack
All the time, and by far, referring to your selection. Or maybe this one... 8 Days Perpetual Calendar, in a classic but elegant presentation... You're absolutely right, Jack about what you said for the review of a watch you never saw...And I will add...ne...

Hi Nicolas. I like the JLC ....I dont know if I read it or what ....but is the movement in the JLC an IWC movement? kindest regards, Jack
Hi Nicolas...I just came across that article again...
Hi Nicolas, Remember I asked if the JLC use the IWC movement.....I just came across that article again and pull an extract from it. I attach a copy below form your info. Let me know your thoughts. Kindest Regards, Jack "There are a few other interesting o...
Post a moonphase question on HOME
Hi Jack, It might be helpful to post a general question on moonphase watches on HoMe. I don’t recall this topic being discussed for a while and you might flush out some nice pictures, which is always a bonus. You could describe what your favourite aspects...
A Breguet is still my favourite...
Just love the classic look, and the smiley face on the moon. Regards, Vince...

Hi Nicolas,
Just visited the AD today. According to her, 3130 is to be discontinued, but 3137 will still be available. Regards, Vince
Thanks a lot.
This back is a bit too "sober" for a Breguet, I like the decoration "à la Breguet" for these timepieces even if sometimes we can find them a bit too baroque. Fr.Xavier
