Caterpillar Breath is a luxury substitute for helium filling in the case. Only the highest-end watches offer C-breath as an option.

The funny thing is that the poor old chap is fantasizing with mytological caterpillars which once upon a time breathed into his watch,...

... and keeps mum about the 1035 or 1039 bracelet he is throwing away with the watch.

"breath" - bracelet
"caterpillar" - bracelet style that look like bulldozer ("Caterpillar") treads

Is that a sort of yakuza cockney or something?

I've never heard anything like that, and, mind you, I speak English well, I learnt it from a book

Not exactly throwing out the baby with the bathwater is he? I'd say he's valued the bracelet at $1K and watch head $550 😀

not sure, yours looks a bit nicer than the one we are mocking, but they seem to go for $500 - $1000+ depending on condition ?

Hence he appears to have valued the bracelet correctly?
