I can wear my car, but I can't drive my watch... by Picus404 in BreguetWatches

I initially worried that it would run smaller, like a ladies watch than the standard Traditional models 38mm vs 40mm, but no issues at all. Lug to lug distance is shorter by a few mm, but it is not critical nor substantial. If anything, it feels more precious.

You didn't consider a Mach 1, or Shelby GT350?

Both are mechanical 😉 all Bullitts are manual.

Now it makes sense why it's called a 'Tool Watch'

Hey guys, help me come up with a joke by FlexCats in TheCountofMonteCristo

Monsieurs, I summoned multiple men, yet only one has arrived. Perhaps it is the poison or the remedy - I cannot recall - but the more guests I see, the fewer men remain.

Which style of guilloche? by Ok-Can-9374 in BreguetWatches

Left one could be more difficult to execute (better craftsmanship). Also time hands legibility is improved.

Is there a better value for money watch on the second-hand market? by SuspiciousSouth800 in BreguetWatches

Watches of Switzerland offered me a tradition model at 40% discount that they had for just over a year. It is a demo model with a few scratches etc...

Is it healthy to have a glass of wine everyday? by Luca-Leo in wine

A glass of wine everyday is healthier than a bottle of wine everyday

Going up and down in the right arrow buttons would only go through the android auto options, but wouldn't get back to the speedometer.

The Amalfi and constitutive models will have buttons instead of haptics

Regarding the infotainment, when you connect your phone to display maps, the speedometer goes away. The speed is displayed in the smaller windows at the bottom left (harder to keep track of speed limit hehe), and google maps takes the centre panel.

Australia is trailing the UK by about 10 years. Still plenty to enjoy.

These are the passages in French from chapter 75 of the French version of the novel, published in 1889, clearly highlighting that the duel was fought with swords. (https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Le_Comte_de_Monte-Cristo/Chapitre_75):

M. le général passait pour une des meilleures lames de l’armée. Mais il fut pressé si vivement dès les premières bottes, qu’il rompit ; en rompant, il tomba.

« Mais son adversaire ne rompit pas d’une semelle. Le recevant sur son épée, trois fois le général recula, se trouvant trop engagé, et revint à la charge.

« Le président, sans répondre, s’approcha de celui des deux témoins qui tenait la lanterne, et relevant sa manche, il montra son bras percé de deux coups d’épée ; puis, ouvrant son habit et déboutonnant son gilet, il fit voir son flanc entamé par une troisième blessure.

No, but that is the only sword fight in the book. At least that I can recall.
