Update
I did hear back from Breguet. They gave a fairly non-descript explanation of what went wrong. It boils down to it needs to be lubricated and serviced. Ultimately, they are charging just $120 more than a standard service to replace the time zones hour wheel. Total comes to $1240, which is better than I feared. All in all, it could be a lot worse. Seems a fair price to turn it back into essentially a brand new 5707 with a two year warranty. Of course, now I wait for a couple of more months for it be completed.....
I may ultimately look to sell it once I get it back in completely revitalized form. If anyone has suggestions on how best to do so, I would welcome them.
Breguet Service

Just got my Breguet 1775 back from servicing . .

For you. . . .
I"m going to try to take pictures and post. But I've never done this before (as I am technologically challenged). In trying to achieve this task, I have developed a newfound respect for the watch photographers on our forum. I can't seem to get rid of shad...
This is such a rare bird that it is worth some efforts!
I sold mine before knowing how to take decent pics... I regret it, deeply. Best, Nicolas.
OOPS!
I clicked on insert to try to insert pictures but instead. . . .the post was was inserted. I'm going to try this again. . . The first picture is of the face of the Breguet 1775. I would love to be able to take a picture of the "secret signature" near the ...
Ok, now, you just have to select a bigger size of pics, before posting it.
Hmmm, a delight! The delicate case, the warm enamel dial and these Breguet hands are so beautiful! Best, Nicolas.
one last time. . . .
maybe i'll finally get the hang of it. . . . . . . and then, you may have just opened the floodgates!! well now that the pictures a larger, you can see all the shadows, and fuzziness from my iphone!!! really, (i know i'm biased), i don't think my pictures...
we'll try to arrange a personal viewing, for sure!
And a photo session of this beauty! If you ever come by Paris before our GTG, let me know, please. Best, Nicolas
