Breguet Chronograph Ref 5247: Enamel or Guilloché?

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-15:42

Enamel for me, even if the guilloché is sumptuous. I damn love it. One day, with a bit of luck. Best, Nicolas ...

given the nominal purpose, i think enamel is better for on-the-spot readability (vs silver for aesthetics)

By: xto : August 3rd, 2024-10:02

Not so sure the time is hard to read with the Guilloché. Due to the blued hands.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-10:04

fair enough - I haven't been unhappy with that combination on a 3237 - and heat treated blue is sooo nice - but I think if I really depended on it, I would go enamel

By: xto : August 3rd, 2024-10:10

...

So, 1 for the Enamel.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:38

One day!

By: dann.fdez : August 3rd, 2024-10:02

Maybe today is the day? And stop by in Bvlgari! Hahahaha Best, Dani ...

THAT would be great!

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-10:04

🙂

By: dann.fdez : August 3rd, 2024-10:05

Difficult…

By: George Gently : August 3rd, 2024-10:07

I’d tend to go for the guilloché, but those Breguet numerals on the enamel dial are a sight to behold as well. It’s a tie for me.

1-1. First tie.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:38

I am a sucker for guilloche — has to be that one for me.

By: orahu : August 3rd, 2024-10:22

2-1 for the Guilloché.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:38

Not a fan of that tachometer on the dial

By: Bruno.M1 : August 3rd, 2024-10:22

To me it ruins the dial So I would pick an older reference Among these 2 probably the guilloché…. While both are nice ( well without the spiral ) guilloché is just more typical for breguet

3-1 for the Guilloché, now.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:39

Between these 2... Enamel for me, more clean

By: Cocolex : August 3rd, 2024-10:26

3-2 for the Guilloché...

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:39

Enamel all day every day! The red accents against the white is gorgeous

By: Larrykelley11 : August 3rd, 2024-11:14

2d tie: 3-3.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:39

Enamel is my choice between the two.

By: Champthekid : August 3rd, 2024-11:35

They both are super tho.

Agreed. Both superb. 4-3 for the enamel.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:40

My answer with one pic

By: Moka-Tiger (Ron) : August 3rd, 2024-11:59

One of my all-time favorites! Never let me go. ...

5-3 for the enamel; now. Cool one!

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:40

Enamel. This and the Réveil du Tsar in grand feu are just magnificent: the numerals, the legibility, the fine detail...hard to beat.

By: Modernahab : August 3rd, 2024-22:25

I find Breguet's beautiful guilloché work more effective on simpler dials.

Simpler, nicer to me too. 17-3 for enamel.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2024-05:51

Email.... because we need a mechanical timepiece that has Email :-D

By: enjoythemusic : August 3rd, 2024-12:12

LOL! 6-3.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:40

For this reference, definitely the enamel

By: blau : August 3rd, 2024-12:16

The weird spiraling red tachy scale looks spectacular on the flat white surface, but looks weird and disjointed on the guilloche dial. That doesn't go for every reference, though! As fabulous as the enamel looks on the 5177, I went with this instead: ...

This is well said, blau.

By: bruckner4 : August 3rd, 2024-13:24

7-3 for the enamel, now. Thanks, mon ami.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:41

Both🤣

By: hora12reborn : August 3rd, 2024-12:18

Cheater! :))))

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:41

🤣

By: hora12reborn : August 3rd, 2024-20:35

Enamel. I don't think Breguet has ever created a more beautiful dial.

By: Uncle Chico : August 3rd, 2024-12:37

Agreed. 8-3 for the enamel.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:41

the enamel dial!

By: Watcholic_id : August 3rd, 2024-13:00

One more! 9-3!

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:41

Enamel, please, in these larger versions.

By: bruckner4 : August 3rd, 2024-13:27

...

10-3!

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:42

I had this same debate not long ago at the Boutique!

By: ZSHSZ : August 3rd, 2024-13:39

Ended up choosing the enamel due to perceived harder to make and legibility factor.

11-3. I didn't expect such a large score, even if I would have bet on enamel.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:42

This enamel beauty for me please 🙏😀

By: Great Watch Fan : August 3rd, 2024-13:48

12-3 Enamel, now. Merci.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-14:42

My pleasure mon ami.

By: Great Watch Fan : August 3rd, 2024-14:46

For me, though it is close, email. The little men just get me!

By: BigFatPauli : August 3rd, 2024-15:03

13-3. Yes, I know, it is really close...

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-15:48

Enamel

By: smironov : August 3rd, 2024-15:56

I own and absolutely love it!

Lucky you!. High on my list. 14-3 for the Enamel.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-17:55

Thanks

By: smironov : August 3rd, 2024-21:09

Enamel dial for me

By: Mr.Gatsby : August 3rd, 2024-17:48

It has a certain charm and is a standout between the two instantly. Best Gatsby

Exactly my feeling. 15-3 for the Enamel.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-17:56

Email for me as well. One of Breguet’s finest pieces over the last 30 years

By: agyzace : August 3rd, 2024-19:26

With the La Tradition, I agree.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-19:57

PS: 16-3 for the Enamel.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2024-19:58

Add one for enamel 😍

By: dms : August 3rd, 2024-20:24

And 18-3, now.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2024-05:52

Guillochage ... GUILLOCHAGE ... GUILLOCHAGE (in italics) ... . That's 3 votes.

By: kjkt3 : August 4th, 2024-14:44

Hehehe, my favorite cheater. :)))) 18-4 for the Enamel, then.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2024-14:45

99 pcnt of the time, for Breguet, i would prefer

By: MDT : August 4th, 2024-14:47

Guilloche. In this case, actually prefer enamel

19-4, now. Thanks, M.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2024-14:47

Would definitely go with enamel dial in this one

By: Derreck : August 4th, 2024-14:58

Noted. 20-4 is a surprising score. I would have bet on a much less large victory of the Enamel.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2024-15:02

Me too.

By: Derreck : August 4th, 2024-15:14

That guilloche dial is gorgeous.

Yes, really tempting, too, but the enamel wins, for me... And obviously, not only for me.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2024-16:15

Enamel 🥰

By: RogerParadise : August 4th, 2024-18:15

The guilloche design is so beautiful and typical for Breguet, but it doesn't work at all on this chronograph 😢

And 21-4 for the Enamel, now. It starts to sounds like a Rugby score. ;)

By: amanico : August 5th, 2024-06:06

Classic beauty in bothe forms.

By: Bill : October 25th, 2024-15:42

Tie for you?

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-15:42

Both beautiful timepieces... but I would choose the enamel one for me. A dream watch! Cheers, Abel

By: Subexplorer : October 25th, 2024-15:48

And 22-4 for the Enamel, after Dexter's vote. ;)

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-15:49

Ha ha ha!! Great!!

By: Subexplorer : October 25th, 2024-16:01

You are such an implacable killer. ;)

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-16:06

Ha ha ha!! That’s also true!! 😂😂😂

By: Subexplorer : October 25th, 2024-16:42

The enamel is a beauty but that snail guilloche is unique. So I vote for the Guilloche.

By: aWtchslvr : October 25th, 2024-15:49

22-5 for the Enamel. Gracias, amigo.

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-16:01

enamel +1 !

By: NautNut : October 25th, 2024-15:52

23-5. Thanks, Nautnut.

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-16:01

Me too 👍

By: Champthekid : October 25th, 2024-15:56

And 24-5 for the Enamel, now. Merci, S.

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-16:02

Enamel. Coincidentally I wore it today.

By: Uncle Chico : October 25th, 2024-16:08

...

25-5... A trashing! :))))

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-16:09

oops.

By: enjoythemusic : October 25th, 2024-16:12

Oooops what? ;)

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-16:13

oops in that i posted what i previously posted without realizing i posted it.

By: enjoythemusic : October 25th, 2024-17:35

So i erased that text from the post and posted "oops" as in.... Anywho... if you read this far and expanded this posting....enjoy the music ❤️

Hummmm, a great one!

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-21:47

100% enamel for me

By: @lberti : October 25th, 2024-16:35

26-5, now. Thanks, mon ami.

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-16:38

I'm in the minority. Guilloche, even with Roman numerals which are not my preferred.

By: M4 : October 25th, 2024-16:39

No problem with that, at the contrary! 26-6, now.

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-16:40

I love enamel 😍

By: taipeigirl89 : October 25th, 2024-17:14

27-6. A massacre. ;)

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-19:59

Enamel. As weird as it sounds, the guilloche looks cold and the subdials too prominent

By: ChetBaker : October 25th, 2024-18:12

One more vote for the silky milky. 28-6.

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-20:00

Enamel...in yellow gold if available : )

By: mdg : October 25th, 2024-18:14

Not that I know. 29-6.

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-20:00

That enamel dial - ouch! Beautiful.

By: lm6 : October 25th, 2024-18:27

And 30-6 now. Sound like the score of a Rugby game. :)

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-20:01

Enamel.

By: smironov : October 25th, 2024-20:28

I like this watch a lot and proudly own one

Lucky, very lucky you, mon ami. 31-6, now.

By: amanico : October 25th, 2024-21:30

Two gorgeous dials but a slight pref the guilloche

By: Watchonthewrist : October 26th, 2024-06:13

31-7. Thanks, R.
