New shoes for the 5327
This bespoke strap form Visconti Milano came in much lighter in tone than expected. My solution? A touch of dark brown shoe polish. (Gasp!) Crude, but saved me buying yet another strap - much less changing straps again with Breguet's maniacal double screw...
The case diameter is 39 mm.
Given the narrow bezel, the dial measures about 34 mm by my digital calipers. The watch is also quite flat for a QP at 9.2 mm.
Good for you!
I’ve had the same surprises from time to time with strap orders. I’ve gone the shoe polish route as well as applying Resolene to enhance the gloss on one strap! And good for you in tackling the screws on the bar and lugs - it’s not for the faint of heart ...
Thanks!
I've only seen the lugs on the anniversary models in photos, and they look nice. However, I do think something is lost without the traditional Breguet Classique straight welded lugs and cold rolled fluted case band, as was the case when Breguet abandoned ...
Yes, Visconti has always done a good job for me.
There's no getting around the limits of online images when it comes to anticipating leather colors, so the occasion al surprise is probably inevitable.
