Indeed, Breguet's long lugs must always be taken into account.

For instance, the 5817 Marine with its long and kinked lugs is too large for me (although 39mm would be fine). But the overhaul of the Marine series has already started with the Marine Equation Marchant 5887, so I hope they will bring a basic Marine model with the same kind of (short) lugs.
I think discontinuing the smaller models (5907, 5920, ...) was a mistake. I feel there is a slow trend back to smaller sizes ...

This is my favourite Breguet reference and I felt sad when they discontinued it a few years ago. 34mm is perfect on a small wrist especially as the Breguet lugs are long rather than curved. It looks perfect on your wrist! Enjoy!! Does it keep good time?!
It was meant to be! :-)

I too have my eyes on a watch discontinued 9 years ago which is available at the Patek salon and had not expected the encounter. So enjoy the watch, make it a part of you! I have to call one or two Breguet boutiques to see if they have stock left. And 1.5...
No luck!

love the dial and the size. I think it wears larger than 34mm due to the long lugs Congrats on having such a fine timepiece! Cheers Robin

I agree totally!

Breguets long lugs make any watch over 36mm difficult to fit on many wrists . A 36mm Breguet would wear at least 40 to 41mm compared to watches with curved lugs. There are watches like the 5277 which I love but the long straight lugs make it a bad fit.
The long lugs are charming though

Very true to the Breguet DNA. Double edged sword as they have a fit problem for small wrist. Maybe still the same lug design but shorter ?
Good point

agree with you. Classics should retain Breguet's signature soldered lugs. Case sizes can be smaller indeed! Cheers Robin
Breguet at its best...

IMHO one of the nicest Breguet references together with 3137. Size is also perfect for a dressy classy Watch. Congrats ! Mike
Congratulations on this purchase!

This is typically the Breguet I would go for: small, handwind mechanical, no date, small second to have another excuse to apply some more lovely guilloché and last but not least, the nicely integrated réserve de marche at the back. Wow, a lot for 34mm! De...
