Blancpain

Blancpain or Breguet – which watch company do you place more value and prestige in…? They are both owned by the Swatch group… I am looking at the Blancpain Flyback Chron and comparing that to the Breguet XXI TransAtl Flyback Chron. I like the look of the ... 

... and keep ur Zenith ... IMO K

I was not planning to trade or sell my Zenith - it's agreat watch and I weare it with a leather band. I am looking for a sporty comparable chron with a steel bracelet. Do you not like either one of the Flyback?

... I dont know why u think Blancpain is a more prestigious brand. Maybe because it has the tagg of being the oldest house? Still IMO breguet is more prestigious as a brand, but that's all relative. As a watch, i prefer the breguet. I like the dial, and i... 

Only one has a column wheel chronograph. Only one is also used from Vacheron Constantin and from Audemars Piguet. There are lots of very nice Chronographs with 21.600 or even 18.000, from PP, VC, AP, ALS, ... ;-) Both watches are nice, but for me it would... 

Thanks Oliver - am I correct in inferring that you would select the Blanc? In terms of accuracy, is it fair to assume that the Breguet movement is more accurate due to the increased vph?

time or do you talk about the stop function. If the first: I don´t see any problem. We have two BP Chronographs in the family and both are very reliable. And this one (only 18.000!) isn´t bad also ... As you can see, I prefer the look and the feeling of a...  

Very interesting...is a 21600 movement inferior relative to a 28800 movement in terms of accuracy? I like the look and feel of the Breguet better than the BP; however, the BP watch is $2k less that the Breguet and appears to be a better value - all things... 

for an "Elegant Sports" look - just to confuse you more. They are quite classy. I looked at at all of these before going for a JLC . . .

No message body

who sold his XX for a reasonable reason - no column wheel From the design of the watch I prefer XX over XXI, but that´s just me. Oliver

agree.... the design of the XX is much better than the XXI, especially with the bubble crystal... But I prefer the size of the XXI... Cheers

You cannot go wrong with either watch..... Design, I prefer Breguet, history Breguet again.... movement I think that Blancpain has an edge..... having said that, again, you cannot go wrong with either... try them on and follow your heart Cheers

and preferred the Breguet much more than the BP. Its size, look, and movement where all better than the BP IMO and I've owned both the 38 and 40 mm versions of the Flyback Chrono. Also, I thought the BP looked better on a strap, the watch feels more dress... 

for every reason, EXCEPT maybe ruggedness. I remember my XXl had a semi-wiggly crown, which was 'normal' I was told by a few collectors as well as my AD--and this gave the feel/impression of a less than absolutely rock solid chrono. BUt this is a Breguet ...
