Hello, Justpen!

Thanks for sharing your experiences with me, I really appreciate that. And I sympathize your frustration! I had a GP Chronograph a few years ago, I bought that from my favorite AD, it stopped working on week 1. My AD sent it back for repair and took almost 2 months. It worked for a while and the chronograph function stopped working again, my AD had to send it back to GP and ask them to replace the movement. It took about another 2 months. Then it worked fine. But I was so frustrated with it, I eventually sold the GP through an auction house and got back less than half of what I paid for. That is why I said I totally understand your frustration. A fine watch should not only look good outside and inside but should possess superior reliablility.

I will consider another brand when I make my next purchase!

Once again, thank you for your information.

Baxter

Would like some advice from forum members!

I own a few fine pieces of Swiss watches like Rolex, Jaegar and Vacheron but not Breguet. I visited an AD yesterday and looked at some Breguet's watches. There is no doubt the craftmanship is first rate. And I am planning to buy one though I also like som...

My experience with Breguet is with my wife's Transatlantique Flyback

We've had it for almost 5 years or so, and it hasn't broken once. In terms of reliablity as a brand, it's probably the same as with all the major brands - you'll have your stories of some breaking on the 1st day, and that's just part of the luxury watch o...

Hi Tassos, Thanks for the kind words..... and I am sorry that true Breguet lovers, who have no problems with Breguet, must share my nightmare. Every day I shake my head and wonder, Why?.... when they are aware that my big problem has never been about the ...
