Great article, it is now the norm to put out things on the social media with no actual facts or proof. I am happy to see Breguet step up. Thanks for sharing.
This is a story about following up on a claim on the internet and it's also a story of folks at Breguet taking seriously a collector's concerns and doing their best to give a satisfying answer to questions. It was a very positive experience and I hope we ...
Fantastic post and, honestly, I am really THRILLED at how Breguet handled this (and they have not changed their standards). Well done and doing the digging and homework. I really respect this kind of behaviour, which is oh so rare in the world. Bravo!!!
if this has made them raise their game then great. They have been a sorely overlooked brand for a long time previously displaying much hidden workmanship and for whom I have a soft spot. This despite not playing a harpsichord, nor enjoying the peek of an ...
You may not like Breguet's finishing. That, with your great experience, is your choice. However, your specific and objective claim that Breguet has changed the finishing on an existing model in production, the 5177, is false. Best practices would be to ad...
The blue5177 was in the market three and half years ago. You should be playing the ball not the man. Ad hominem comments are not acceptable in this forum. Cheerleading and storytelling from the brand are not functional evidence. The impartial 3rd party ey...
Do you understand why Tim's attempt to say that my 5177 blue enamel is somehow older than an imaginary change in finishing is not valid? I can explain it if you can't figure it out, but the answer is in my original post. It has to do with evidence he trie...
The current approach to debunk is actually as flawed as to ask an accused if they committed the crime. "I asked Breguet and they said nothingās changedāā¦. The best outcome should be that Breguet considers there may have been a slip up and pieces went out ...
A former member who left in a huff has made several claims. And you've chosen the wrong one, naturally. Did you read the original post in this thread? On IG, he claimed to inspect a single watch, that's now increased to two watches, great. It's not the is...
.. If somebody asked me about about actual finishing of the basic Breguet movements I would say, hmm I remember that they lowered quality of some finishings, there was something about it at forum š¢ That is how myths are born.
Being a big fan of the Breguet watches this was very informative and also highlights the professional attitude of the brand towards its customers ...and its standards.
Here's a photo of a blue enamel 5177bb, mine. It has interior angles and, obviously to an acute observer, post-dates the video Tim used for a screenshot which uses a prototype model and came out with the introduction of the blue enamel 5177. I'm not sure ...
perhaps if scientifically trained you would understand. I wonder if the mindset you require to execute your magic day job clouds your judgement. Not only that you are trying to use quite objectionable subtly disguised ad hominem attacks on a venerated for...
I have met Dr Mao, and I think he'd be entertained. Tim's argument is poor, it's simple (to be fair, it's literally an IG post), and it's been debunked with evidence that includes pictures. I don't think the purpose of WPS is to revere former members. WPS...
