Ok, I have to say this is a very impressive watch! Really it is.

Very hard to photograph but the off set second hand is placed in a recess in the email.
White gold dial. Semi micro rotor. Email dial with recess (without gold borders). A mega timeless watch with a twitch. The crystal has a sort of grained surface. Unexpectedly I'm sort of in awe with this watch.
I know the next pic is pretty bad, but it does show the recess of the second dial in the email (!). Which is pretty amazing if you ask me.
When I'm a little older.....

POOF! You're 60!
LOL

Yes I know time flies, but just give me a few minutes please! (and it's a shame it's not hand wound)
It's beautiful.

And for a gold cased-enamel dialed watch the price is somewhat incredible. Sure, you could wait until you are really 60. Or you could pretend I'm the Genii in the bottle, and get it now. The choice is yours.
It's a perfect 40 mm

(All obviously depending on wrist size)

that email dial with second hand subdial out of one piece is something different
absolutely gorgeous

it just sits too large on my 15cm tiny wrist, esp with Breguet's long lugs. This is the very watch that attracted me to the brand. I bought a 3800 instead. cheers. james
No you won't be

It's gorgeous watch. Breguet has never really had my interest (style wise) but regarding this watch I'm sold.
No didn't take any
By: Arie - Mr Orange : May 4th, 2017-00:06
It has a huge micro rotor (if that makes any sense). I feel this watch really is about the front.
Yes [nt]

Yes I remember a sales lady mentioning it
By: Arie - Mr Orange : May 4th, 2017-07:57
But I forgot to ask where.... didn't see anything on the grand feu enamel dial though (luckily). Do recall a marking in the crystal... mmmm... I should go back to investigate a little further
Went to see this model today

And it's absolutely beautiful, although I think it could have been a tad smaller... Here are 3 pictures. On the last one you can see the secret signature at 3 o'clock, mid-way between the center and the index. ...
Just found this thread.

Thanks for posting the picture of the secret signature on the email dial. Answered my Question beautifully. Cheers
Very impressive!

This is going to be my first Breguet watch! Best, Thomas
Yes, indeed.

With a warm and "poetic" dial. 2 years ago a bought a MB fountain pen, its body consisting of white Meissen porcelain. The colour is a very special, soft white which I love very much. I wonder if this dial has a similar appearance. Have to see it in real ...
Don't forget to take the pen with you!

The best I could describe it is milk like white (softer indeed). But I have not seen it outside in natural light...
A win-win-win combination

Email, thin and sits well - what else to ask for? The only part to be upgraded is the movement that seems a bit to narrow. The watch is serious improvement from the 5140.

This is the special 'suppleness' only an enamel dial can achieve. IMO breguet's enamel dials always had a very special depth, maybe it's the ever so slightly off white color , or maybe it's the thick glaze.
