Breguet XX ref 3807 authentic?
Hi!
I've been wanting a type XX for a long time and finally tracked one down not to far from home.
It's the limited edition with blue dial.
The watch comes without a box and papers and after studying the watch, it looks authentic. The only thing that raises a question is that the rotor of the movement isn't signed with a serial number.
Can someone help me out?
Regards,
Serge

Here is a quick pic I found in my HD... ( Sorry, don't know who to credit for ) : Best, Nicolas...
Yes
All the ones I've seen have a serial number on the rotor. But the platinum version hasn't got one either............. the movement form the one I'm after looks exactly the same.?? Maybe it has something to do with year of production??...
No, I just saw the ref number, not the serial number.
Any pic to share about LE Type XX with serial number? To me, it is engraved on the bezel, not on the rotor. Interesting... Best, Nicolas
Pic with serial on rotor
See the serial engraving. The watch I´m after has got the serial number on the bezel. The movement is also signed with a serial number and looks exactly the same, but just without the serial on the rotor. I think I will take the plunge....
Well, I saw, yesterday, another LE SS blue dial,
Abd it didn't come with the serial engraving. Exactly like on mine. Best, Nicolas
Wristshot!
Finally................ I changed the bracelet for a leather strap. I think it suits the watch better and is also historically more correct (Type 20/21)....
Sorry for chiming in late on this...
On mine it's the case serial number 3xxxx as well as the refeference number: 3807 on the bezel of the caseback and the movement number on the rotor, as well as the calibre #, which is Cal 562.
