My new Breguet (this time for real). A month ago they sent me one with dents, which I posted here. Fortunately, the authorized dealer didn't have any problem with it and ordered a brand new one from Breguet, which arrived yesterday.
I'd wanted a dress watch for years and the other options were the PP Calatrava or the VC Traditionelle, but the Breguet's dial captivated me.
On the other hand, I was very lucky because the Breguet went up in price 48 hours ago from €27,000 to €28,900.Best.

As a dress piece, all are amazing options (although I’m partial to the Breguet and VC)…
but your Breguet stands above the pack with the exquisite dial work and overall design. Plus, it looks perfect on your wrist. Breguet’s use of long lugs always gives me pause, but they work perfectly in your case. I just wonder why they don’t offer such p...
I agree and I am sure that if Breguet made a version
smaller and with a manual winding calibre it would sell much better. The PP and the VC are pieces that I like a lot but I had to make a decision. Best.
Congrats，
Other than the amazing dial work, the thickness of the case is also remarkable⭐🍺
Yes. The watch is a bit big and the lugs a bit long
-though I have enough wrist to manage it- but no complaints about the thickness.
I would love if someone edits the post and puts a
pic of the Breguet in the main view. Thanks in advance.
Great choice and congratulations again!
I’m really glad that you got a brand new one! Best, Emmanuel
Thank you. Probably the less appreciated of the three
in the “watchpro” community but it was the one it convinced me the most.
The Breguet and the Vacheron Constantin are my favorites among the three finalists!
The Breguet 5177 is an amazing piece. As is the Vacheron Constantin. The 4400 caliber in the Vacheron 82172 is Kari Voutilainen's most praised modern caliber. The 82172 with the 4400 movement is extremely accurate, extremely precise, and has a shockingly ...
Hi Patrick. I”m aware that the VC caliber, that as you know,
it has the Poincon de Geneve, is very probably the best of the three. But I had the watch on the wrist, as well as the Patek and it did not speak to me the way the Breguet did. Anyway the three of them are watches I love. Best day.
