Depends who you are talking to, but easily one of the top 5 brands. You can get a lovely Patrimony Perpetual Chrono in rose gold for only $125,000. :wink:

Most older 1003s have Geneva seal, not sure whether they all do though - it wasn't always consistent. 1003 is a good movement, but you understand that Geneva seal has nothing to do with performance, just decoration right?

Yes I understand it just decoration and just how the movment is made. Thank you very much for the information. :D :bow:

This is a surprising place to look for information on Vacheron Constantin " Breitling Source . com " Here's what I know on par price wise with Patek Philippe . And probably similar quality . I have never owned one .

Especially for those of us with English language keyboards. Incidentally VC don't use it on their material either - they capitalise.

Surely you know that you can configure your keyboard settings and be able to toggle among various languages. :wink: :) I have configured mine among French, Greek, German and English.

Of course, using capitals would simplify our lives.
