Breguet

Received an unexpected offer and the input of Watchpros will make deciding more fun. I like Breguet more than is healthy! Please give your take, like or dislike and why! Thanks! ...  

Gorgeous movement. But tourbillons aren’t magical to me. Make sure that that complication alone will satisfy you.

Something specific or just not magically delicious?

At the time I got it I thought I had achieved horological heaven: a Breguet tourbillon. Then I quickly realized that tourbillons did nothing enchanting for me. I came to the opinion that they were vanity projects for watchmakers. Which is fine-much of mec...

Bought a good example of a yellow gold bracelet pre-swatch Breguet that I think will be fun to own.

Especially on a dress watch. That means the "five days" on the top example is a non-starter for me. I much prefer using all Roman numerals like the bottom example. I find the shape of the power reserve window, specifically the hard acute angle at the bott...
