No real porblems for me.....yet

Oct 19, 2009,09:36 AM
 

Ive had all 3 type xx's, Tradition, marine, Reveil and currently 5140 classique.....

the only prob i had was with the Tradition but that was fixed very promptly.......

I buy Breguet not because of the reliablility, (it does help though), but the history and heritage etc...The pure beauty is unsurpassed.

I dont like having things that Everyone has....how many people have Rolex,omega...

Be different,,,,,if you are out for dinner or a party etc and someone sees you with a rolex, they are likely to say 'oh thats only a rolex'....If you have a Breguet youre more likely to be asked' Thats nice, what make is that' , and you can explain.......

Thats my opinion anyway...

you choose. but once you do you will be hooked.......

good luck

Hi, my name is tristan and I'm 27. I am interested in buying Marine 5817st. I own few Omegas and Rolexes, but I've never bought a watch over 10000 dollars. If your budget is between 10000 dollars and 25000 dollars, what is your Breguet? I am very nervous ... 

I would not recommend Breguet..

Hi Tristan, You seem to be where I was many years ago. I started with Omega and after some 15 to 20 years of totally trouble free rugged wear, I progressed to Rolex, which also gave me 15 to 20 years of trouble free wear... and with rugged use. Never a pr... 

Hi there

I recognize a lot of myself in your question. I must have been around your age when I got interested in the heritage. I can understand that you got struck by the shere beauty of the Marine in SS. However, when you state that currently you do not have a lo...

Hi Dixie, As a matter of interest, what went wrong with your la Tradition? Kindest regards, Jack

it would gain 10 minutes then be alright

 
 By: dixie : October 20th, 2009-01:19
After setting the time....so you reset the time and it would gain again...it was the hairspring at fault

Hi Dixie, You said that is

Hi Dixie, Thank you for your reply. You said that it was 'sorted out promptly' .... did it go back to Switzerland? I spoke to my AD today about my two Breguets, he said he spoke to the Australasian manager , who had spoken to the Switzerland manager, and ... 

Jack hi

My Tradition was out of warranty so got a very good watchmaker freind to check it out via his electronic eqp...It showed a problem with the hairspring so I got him to fix it.....I knew I would be looking at mths without it if it went back to Switzerland..... 

So it is almost luck that defines the fate...

...of our watches,,, Me, I am lucky so far with my 2 Breguets.... The 5327 perpetual is working perfectly well for 2 years now on it's own winder and on my wrist... My marine 5817 is working for more than a year, again on a good winder and on my wrist...S... 

Breguet lost me.... and nothing to do with Luck

Hi Tassos my dear cyber friend, You are more forgiving than I, because I am sure I will be selling my Breguets when I get them back from Breguet Warranty. I know you are possibly our most passionate fan of Breguet and you hold a true love for the brand an... 

Quite a bell you are ringing, dear Jack...

 
 By: Tassos : October 22nd, 2009-12:06
...and you are right in every point, of course... Luck must not be a factor in a watch that sell over 20000 $ and sometimes 10 times more... So, if someone DOES hear us in Breguet, must tell Mr. Hayek about your (and possibly our) troubles... I do not lik... 

I hope it is loud enough ... and the right ears hear it..

Thank you Tassos, Thank you for the understanding, and thank you for the public words of support. Companies have to come to terms with the fact that their business is not over when the sale is made..... And to give confidence to their customers... they mu... 

Now I am scared

I own a couple of Breguet: The XXI and the Heritage big date. I love both of them and they are working perfectly, actually they are working better than most of my other watches. After reading your posts I am scared now...

Anyone knows the frequency of service requests or...

...is it a top secret? An official or - at least - semi-official response would be much welcome!!! ! Tassos
