Yes, Hamburg can be very beautiful, most recently the city is more famous for endless and uncoordinated roadworks and the subsequent traffic chaos π³
Personally, I do not at all argue with your opinion on the date window. I see why Breguet wanted to do a non-limited Classique with the deep blue Grand Feu enamel dial, and the no date version was already done with the Ginza Anniversary.
Sometimes a βflawβ makes a watch even more interesting... not sure whether this will be the case for the future owners of ref 5177.

A close encounter with the Breguet 5177

Breguet is currently showing its Marine collection and the 2019 novelties in a two week exhibition at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg... an opportunity I did not want to miss. Kindly enough I was able to spend two hours with the watches to ta...
This one is bound to be very successful

A great dress watch, which has no real competition IMO. Choosing between this and a Chrono Bleu would be very difficult (Breguet wins on the dial side, Journe, on the movement side) Dark enamel is a killer concept - I like it!
Beautifully deep

The strap choice on this VC is indeed fantastic...

... and the bold frame of the date window is making a nice impression, as do many other details of this watch. Which does not come as a surprise as Vacheron, similar to Breguet, has a very good sense of design and pays a lot of attention to detail. The on...
I concur with others

A superb piece with a unnecessary window...what a pity, it spoils the pure dial. I understand about the issue wth the LE Ginza version but on the other hand there is a consensus about the issue...
Spectacular photos...

...Breguet should pay you : ) Were I in the market I would head to Tokyo for the Ginza edition and a nice meal of tonkatsu and beer...
