Did someone say salmon …? 🐱
Our cat got excited for a bit when he heard salmon … ☺️ Traveller II Ref 4940 38 mm Circa 1995 neo vintage Mechanical alarm & jumping GMT (Warning: This salmon not edible) ...
You reminded me of my Tiger
Our best cat ever for 17 years. He liked salmon too! Cazalea ...
Thanks Mike.
He is actually my neighbor’s cat. During COVID lockdown, neighbor was stuck in a different country and he started to come into our house. 2 years later … he’s here 24/7 and neighbor has given up carrying him home. 😀
Thanks Nicholas.
The bracelet adds a lot heft and changes the overall look and feel of the watch. If to had to choose, I’d say strap suits it better. But a bracelet is good to have around too.
Thanks Mike☀️
All of the 4940 38 mm are really nice. I have one more due to arrive today actually… 😛
When you sell your watch...

What do you think of it with the steel bracelet …. Better with a leather strap? (the watch and not the cat) : )
My big pleasure Marc. Leather straps (for the watch of course! Lol!) ... Well this is a very personal choice I guess. I like to wear many of my watches with leather straps and some others I prefer with the original metal bracelets.
In this particular beautiful watch of yours I would opt for trying a set of leather straps as I feel they would give more presence on the wrist to this superb salmon/Breguet numerals dial. Probably a set of light brown leather would look right. Of course ...
The for your suggestions Sub
Yes agree, straps are fun but with their downside in tropical Singapore. It also rains quite unexpectedly and I have a clamshell travel case in the car. We also eat a lot of messy noodle dishes here, so there tend to be lots of “splash” when hungry. I’ve ...
My pleasure to share my thoughts about straps and bracelets Marc.
I can well understand what you say about straps drawbacks. Silicon/rubber are a nice option and they come in lots of great colors as well. They can be also a problem in hot humid weather though I feel. Regrettably I personally can’t bear the feeling of ru...
