Definitely not an OS but a truly unworn brand NOS (stickers peeled today) Platine 1921 100th Anniversary. Not an easy find as only 100 were made and most with true collectors. Excited to welcome this one to my collection. Thanks to Justin Fox for helping me hunt her down! Cheers,

Can someone confirm that the 4520 wears smaller than the 4500 because of the endlinks not flaring out as much? I read this somewhere but I cannot find confirmation.

What an absolute stunner. Congratulations.

How does it wear?


Hoping to add the pink gold 40 to my collection, I’ve watched and read just about every review I could find. Do you know if it is actually 40.0mm? I’m torn between the 40 and 36.5.

Thanks! It is incredibly comfortable and wears so well. One of my absolute favorites if not favorite overall watch. As for the 36.5mm for me that would be too small. If one has a smaller wrist that is a different story.

Thanks. It certainly looks amazing on the wrist.
I have 17cm wrists so a 40 is fine. Just torn as it would be my dressier watch. Then again, I could see myself wearing it more with just shorts and tee shirt. Seems to look good with everything.

Its the sandblasted finish that I love. I've seen this with white gold hands (if not mistaken), does this one have black markers and hands?

No they are white gold hands and breguet numbers. They made 100 of them in 2021 for the 100th Anniversary in platinum.

Just received two gator straps!

Ordered a green and grey xl alligator strap on August 9 from the boutique in NYC and received them today. The green is a deep emerald color and the grey could be mistaken for baby blue. Excellent tanning (I used to be in the exotic skin business) on these skins. The fit and finish was much better than a brown gator Deluge's I got. Only caveat is the maker put the little pin that secures to the deployment clasp on backwards so it came apart really easily. You can fix it yourself with a tiny screwdriver though, very pleased.
My buddy Jojo was too-:) Cheers

It is for me! If I only had 3 watches it would be my 1921, 1955 and this OS. This watch is so comfortable. The bracelet is silky smooth and awesome! Just hard to beat overall and that includes my old RG Jumbo and 5980/1R.

Totally agree on the quick change system. Decided to go with the calf leather strap today. Giving you a nice casual look.
