Lugs

I read that the lugs make it wear bigger than it is so that's what I'm hoping.


The movement is JLC based manual wind - it looks very well done so that's not a worry.

Think I'm going to go and see it and decide.

Still curious if these dial are turned or stamped but perhaps it will be apparent in hand.

Questions on older Breguet (90's)

I'm considering a which I'm told dates to the 1990's. I have a couple of questions on the watch - I've looked through Google images and have found varying examples but no links to anything detailing the evolution of this ref. The serial number is only 3 ...

...both for your replies. It does seem like all the 'features' of this watch are consistent with others of the period. I am worried it will wear too small but I will have to try it. Any thoughts on Breguet in general of this period?...quality, desirabilit... 

Yes you should definitely try it on

Bear in mind that the straight lugs on a Breguet makes the watch wear larger than the 31mm so it is more likely to wear like a 34mm watch. Breguets were rarer in the 90s but in terms of quality, all I can say is that the guilloche dials were sublime but I...

Check with Breguet

In your shoes, I would check with Breguet whether they can service this pre-Swatch early 1990s watch. What's the price of a full service?
