Breguet

Surprised myself with a successful low-ball bid this morning. Sadly, I'm going to have to part with my 5907 now, but the Roth-designed 3137, with its complex guilloché and insane decorated movement, was too beguiling to resist. 😳

I was lucky to have recently photographed a 3130 from 1986 and 3310 from 1987 that both belong to a friend. The 3130 was unusual in that it had a sapphire caseback, which I believe did not appear on many of those early models. Enjoy!

Live and learn! I'm curious if you remember whether the movement on the sapphire-backed 3130 was decorated in the wild, Baroque manner of the 3137?

3330 with solid case back: While the 3337 comes with the see through case back: ...  

Interestingly, some 3137s I've seen have the plain moon, as per the 3130/3330, while some have the "man-in-the-moon" disk. I wonder when Breguet made the switch?

I’m planning an in depth post on both pieces ...  

I look forward to your post when it's ready.

...and great bargains if, like me, you don't mind (I love, actually) wearing a 'smaller' watch.
