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

 

From the look of the dial, I think this is more accurate. http://mentalfloss.com/article/54606/caterpillars-stink-breath-keeps-spiders-away

 

This is the key part of the manufacturing process.....

 

How many millipedes is its diameter? I think the 18 is for lug width......

 

I must have a Benrus with fly farts.

 

Wonder if mine has seen the hookah too?

Hands up if you googled caterpillar breath.

 

Now just think, if it had been a Railmaster, it could have had this

 

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.

 

I know this is a joke thread - but seriously..

"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

 

Well whaddaya know, today I just happen to be wearing an old Speedmaster with its original caterpillar breath!

 

very a"tractor"ive

 

Laugh all you want. Anyone care to guess what this "caterpillar breath" sold for a while back?

 

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?
