Breguet 5933

Aug 13, 2008,12:38 PM
 

Hello - I'm brand new to this forum and I'm in the market for my very first Breguet.  Largely driven by price-point, I have narrowed my choices to 3 Classique-Simple models.  The 5907, 5920, and 5930.  While shopping at an authorized Breguet dealer in California they showed me a 5933 (new) - they only have one in white gold (BB).  I searched all the posts here for the 5933, and found 2 posts from a few years back. 

"... The 5933 is a special edition in honor of the 300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg. 100 watches each in yellow, white, and pink gold will be made. It is basically a 5930 with special engravings on the back as well as Russian words on the dail, and the guilloche dial has gold studs on the hour markers as well as a octagon outer layer rather than the usual round shape ... ".

It's a bit more than I intended to spend (about 1.7x the cost of a 5930).  I like the watch, but I'd like some opinions (please) on the "added value" of a limited edition watch like this?  In other words, will the 5933 hold it's value (as well or better) than say a 5930?  Any other comments about the 5933 would be welcome.

Thank you.

I know this one, and I even considered it, for a moment

Your analysis is perfectly right... I think that this LE ( 5933 ) is for true Breguet Lovers, for those who want to celebrate a nice date with the Brand. And nothing else. This is a very nice, and elegant watch. But, these considerations apart, I don't se... 

I happen to like the dial

it has a different guilloche pattern than the usual, and I happen to like it, but my dealer had one, and I don't, so that says something A

5933 was introduced in 2003...

A LE introduced in 2003, and still sitting in the dealer's shop, so that says something too.
