That is a significant 1000th post, hs.
You damn go fast, even with the number of your posts!
As for your pics, gthere are so many cherries on the cake that it must be a Schwartz Wald Torte.
All is so appealing here, from the watch, of course, to the delicious correct vintage box, the dedicace coming from the brother, to the bag ( !!! ).
More of the stroy will come with the attestation from Mr Breguet himself. Can't wait for that moment.
Superb post, hs. Well deserved catch, King of Cool.
Best ( also to your lovely better half ).

Type XX Limited Edition or ... Original?
While some are turning around the new ( unveiled last year, by the way ) Type XX Aeronavale Limited Edition, others are jumping on the Vintage model. The Limited Edition of 1000 pieces, released in fall 2010: Breifly, this LE is a 39 mm case, housing the ...
Wow, the vintage one is ...
a beauty! Your vintage observations are the cream on the top The new LE doesn´t work for me, mainly because of the bezel. Oliver
Wow! I was about to type congrat until I saw the king of cool.
This is really a delicious watch to have in any collection and with the original box, you kidding me! I'm hopelessly jealous PS. What's with the smiley face on the table? Best Tyler
Not only the original box, but also a vintage Breguet bag ...
And a cdertificate of authenticity. Almost what I would call THE FULL SET. As per the King of Cool, he's indeed super cool. Best, Nicolas.
Further to those details.. Happiness !
Well, my friend, as you may realize - this is my first post - entry on the Breguet forum, and a very happy one, as you already have realized: So I will share part of my recent experiences during some memorable stretch of days, where I was able to realize ...

Happy moments, for sure. Do you have any anecdote to share?
I heard that the King of Cool was so cool that he almost lost a watch... More to be said, I guess. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
All I know is .. One has to stay focused.. and lucky ..
.. to remain happy: - indeed, when too many things happen simultaneously or in hilarious sequence, then it takes a strong mind not to get distracted.. In fact, was such a terrific time, that I realized: 1/ you have to be lucky at first 2/ hope for good fr...
The guy, you mean the King of Cool? OOOH, yes, there are sparks in his eyes.
I see them through the sunglasses... A kind of Lucifurious representation. Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-09-01 07:02:59
Ouch – this one hurts! :)
The King of Cool is back! Huge congrats, my friend! So, you returned to Paris with out me, HS?! I am a bit disappointed… I see you still have your Speedy Gonzales shoes on! Damn, you work fast! And in combination with a guy like Vlad=Dangerous! Nicolas, a...
You said it... King of Cool is a fast guy. ;)
This is a watch I would ADORE to include into my collection, truly. To make the pair with my platinum Type XX, and what a PAIR! You're always welcome, Blomman the slow guy. Best, Nicolas.
That has always been my problem…
Oh, that would be an awesome pair! … I am the slow guy back in the end of the line… One day… I will try to shape up! Best Blomman
If he let us some!
At his pace, I doubt we'll still have something to grab. But the man has impeccable taste. You have to see this one in the flesh, Blomman, or its former version, even cleaner. They drive me crazy.
Last time in Paris…
He was playing us all along… ! Next time King of Cool is the one with the big truck! HAGWE Blomman
No, no my friend ! .. this was just pure luck and fortune of the moment !
Hello, my friend, Blomman ! I had to go in one part anyway for professional reasons, but then also reasonably quickly a little bit earlier, I confess .. - no need to be disappointed about my - solo - trip to Paris - there WILL be other times ; It mainly w...
Na, I like KoC better! :)
Just make sure to fill the shoes…! Best, my cool friend Blomman
original for me!
love the dual register--as well as those lugs! lends the watch a very strong character....
