New Breguet...........

Mar 03, 2017,15:18 PM
 

I picked up a Breguet 5140 with the enamel the other day. So far I'm very happy with the watch! When I get some time I will do a little write up on it. For now here are two wristshots in two different shades of light. This watch is gorgeous in person! Tony

This is a beautiful watch.

Breguet may have been ahead of the curve on RG-Enamel-dialed watches. This can hold its own with Lange and GP and anyone else. And only you will know. Unfortunate.

Thanks Padj.......

One of the reasons I like the watch is because it isn't seen very often. With that being said, and as nice as it is, this Breguet doesn't hold up very well against your last two Lange's!!! Tony

Movement-wise, perhaps.

But in beauty...

Thanks Nicolas! [nt]

I haven't seen this one before

It\'s very impressive. Nice choice

An enamel dial with no cut out for the date...

That's why it's perfect! Congrats! J

Nice catch and Congrats!

I always like this one a lot. The only thing I wish for is that if it comes with a hunter case back, I would buy it in a heart beat.

A hunter case back would have been great.........

Definitely would have liked to be able to see the movement. Tony

Ultimate dress watch!

the enamel dial, Breguet hands and numerals are to die for! Big congrats ! Cheers Robin

Thanks Robin...........

I also strongly considered a VC patrominy which are very nice dress watches as well. Tony

Gorgeous shot!

I\'ve often lusted after an enamel Breguet to accompany my guilloche 3490. Yours is QUITE gorgeous ! Congrats

From memory I think it's 34mmx32mm.

Although it wears a little larger because of the thin bezel. It is VERY light and the guilloche dial looks almost ivory/cream colour it bright sunlight. One of my favourite dress watches. ...  

Thanks. Yes, mid-1990 I think.

This model was the precursor to the modern Breguet Heritage line; but I must confess I prefer the older models before they became hulking and rather oversized for my liking. Cheers

Congratulations Tony

Your choice for this one was difficult I suppose as the other version with its wonderful guilloche dial is really desirable too. Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks, I preferred the enamel dial over guilloche............

 
 By: TonyR : March 4th, 2017-03:38
but I believe that the guilloche version has an open case back which would have been nice on this piece. Tony

Breguet offers true dilemma to his customers ;-)

Best wishes Alkiro

Gorgeous watch!

The dial is so clean and wonderful and has a very special warmth. One of my favourite Breguets and definitely on my wishlist. Huge congrats, Tony! Best, Thomas

Thanks Thomas............

I am very happy with this piece. It's almost perfect! Tony

Why just

 
 By: MTR : March 4th, 2017-04:13
"almost"? Best, Thomas

+1 for the open caseback.

 
 By: MTR : March 4th, 2017-06:07
On the other hand the 40mm seem "perfect" for me although perhaps too big for a "classique" model. What do you think of the WG version with silver dial? Best, Thomas

Congratulations!

Gorgeous dial, and no date! I also love the asymmetrical placement of the small seconds...a very traditional Breguet touch. And the printing of the dial logo is exactly the right size and not too large as is the style generally. Congrats again! Cheers, Br... 

Thanks Brandon........

The offset sub dial makes this watch for me. I love the uncommon-ness of it!

The 7337 is a very nice watch..........

 
 By: TonyR : March 4th, 2017-10:38
It would be hard to not choose that over the 5140, although it is double the price! Tony

I appreciate the vote for the 7337! [nt]
