Breguet Classique 5177 blue enamel

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2020-06:36
Saw this at the AD today. Such an elegant and discreet piece of haute horology ! Even the date doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would. Somehow the quirky shape of the date window and the effort to make the date window’s background similar in colo...  

I can imagine !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2020-06:43
Same sentiments. Even though I can accept the date and appreciate its function, I can’t deny the Ginza no date version is even better looking ! Cheers Robin

Ginza LE is similar without date.

Beautiful piece too!

That Ginza edition is the killer ! [nt]

Agree

If not for the date !

No this is a regular production 5177 [nt]

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2020-19:32

Most welcome ! [nt]

Besides the date window...

...the seconds hand always looks too thick to me. It appears the same thickness as the minutes hand. I would prefer that it were very thin.

Good point now I can’t unsee that !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2020-19:33
That’s quite common with the Classique line

This is one of my favorite pieces from Breguet.

I believe I could live with the date ....although I am not 100% sure.

I am on the same boat as you ! [nt]

I know exactly what you mean, that taking a picture is hard with the blue enamel.

I took it to the door in order to catch it with sunlight. The 5177 is superb, "even" with the date window, which does not bother me at all. You are right about the quircky shape of the date, that makes the date window even more likeable. ...  

Thank you for your sharing my friend [nt]

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2020-19:34

A top collector's item :-) [nt]

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : October 21st, 2020-07:38

It has quite a quirky dial overall [nt]

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2020-19:34

Once again my friend

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2020-19:35
You are the Vlad on this reference !

Really??? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : September 1st, 2020-22:56

Yes ... though

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 2nd, 2020-06:06
You didn’t like the date as always lol

I like it a lot!

...  

You got one ?

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 1st, 2020-19:35
Tell me more if you did and how you feel

Just tried it on several times. I like it! [nt]

Hehe the poison level increases

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 2nd, 2020-06:06
With each try :p

Bravo Catster. How are the harpsichord lessons?

 
 By: Rapwatch : October 1st, 2020-12:17
It's gorgeous. I tried one, but I would prefer more explosive bleu. The movement finish is fantastic.

Thank you, harpischord music is my jam!

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : October 1st, 2020-15:19
I love the movement, there are even two interior angles just to demonstrate that the work is finished by hand. Plus the guillochéd rotor!

Thanks for pointing out the interior angles :) [nt]

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 16th, 2020-07:54

Yes, it's a cool point that purists will appreciate.

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : October 16th, 2020-09:47
And the dial is understated cool but pops in the right light with the platinum ink used for the Breguet numerals. I keep coming back to it as this watch out shown several much more expensive watches when I first saw it with my girlfriend at the boutique. ...  

very elegant Breguet [nt]

 
 By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : September 3rd, 2020-00:37

I feel the same ! :)

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : September 3rd, 2020-07:01
Even the date is annoying me less and less lol
