I almost bought one for myself last month but decided that it was too early in the year to be that spoiled ))

Has been my dilemma in the past, there's something about the 3803 that calls my name a tiny bit more than the 3800 even if less historically correct.

They even forgot to cross the T on the Breguet logo... I hope you are not a lawyer! Definitely the version to own - does it have the gold cap on the crown?
