The main selling point for me for the 5707

Apr 16, 2012,18:54 PM
 

was the seven patterns of guilloche. It was my first serious watch. I was fascinated by the details. However, in the real world, dial legibility was less than ideal and I quickly learned that the legibility of the dial is really important to me. The enamel edition is stunning. Perhaps the absence of the multitude of guilloche patterns has sort of mitigated the "short coming". And the blued hands go really well on an enamel dial.  I have a weakness for blued hands. smile

iAn

Reveil du Tsar Enamel Boutique Edition

 
 By: Kong : September 25th, 2010-05:38
The Reveil du Tsar launched in 2003 with seven types of guilloché pattern is still alluring till today, and this classic is reconstructed with an enamel dial in pink gold-case to be the new boutique exclusive edition. Understand this is a second shipment,...

I had the original and that was beautiful, but this is stunning. Does it come in white gold?... I also have had the Enamel 5140, another stunning watch..Yuo cannot beat Enamnel dials....

At the moment ...

of the dial, revealing the richness of the enamel and true character of this piece. The balance of the face is excellent, even with so many things going on. These are also my favorite hands and fit this watch perfectly. It would be great to get a sound bi... 

Thanks Tim ...

for the kind words. How have you been? Can't agree with you more. As for the sound, see if the piece is still around. Saw your nice VC Chronographs Coming over soon? Kong

Greatissime idea from Breguet, IMO.

A Reveil du Tsar with an enamel dial, now that is what this watch deserved. It enhances its retro loo in a delicious way. To be seen in the flesh... Quickly. Any chance to have a white metal version? Thanks for the info! Best, Nicolas

Most popular question!

 
 By: Kong : September 28th, 2010-01:54
Hi Nico Nearly everyone asked the same question ....about in white metal! So far only heard it is in PG. Hopefully Breguet hear the request for WG. Thanks for viewing. Kong

Great Post

Thanks Great post - its always nice to see posts on alarm watches. I know virtually nothing about Breguet - do they do other alarm watches? What does it sound like? Does it use a gong like in JLCs? Cheers JML

Yes, they have ...

Hi JML Another of the alarm model is the Marine Royale 5847. Some pictures here : breguet.watchprosite.com However, the sound files were invalid as the hosting provider has exited. Will try to prepare alternative way to host sound files. Alarm sou...

I love this watch. The enamel dial and blue hands are irresistable. You got me drooling... Would want to see it (quickly) in the flesh. Thanks. Sam

Have you managed to see it, Sam?

 
 By: Kong : September 28th, 2010-01:27
Would like to hear your inputs Kong

I love any modern watches with a vintage look Kong :)

 
 By: samwan : September 28th, 2010-06:58
especially with the beautiful enamel dial, gorgeous blue hands and Roman numerals... I am sure the piece will sing to me - I will definitely pay a visit to the boutique in TST and let you know my impression but it will have to be the second half of Octobe... 

That is nice!

 
 By: aaronm : September 25th, 2010-18:35
My only nit to pick is the way the RdM hand drops a bit over the 24h subdial at full wind, I wish it stayed a bit above, it spoils the perfection, if only a small bit A

Did not notice till you highlighted ...

 
 By: Kong : September 28th, 2010-02:21
Thanks A. Sharp observation! Perhaps they are aware of it too, as the two subdials are of different diameter Kong

I'm not sure what to make of it.

 
 By: ArthurSG : September 25th, 2010-21:34
First impression was "Wow" which very quickly neutralized. THe case is all Breguet but the dial layout is... not so to me.

Could you articulate...

 
 By: Kong : September 28th, 2010-03:08
what about the layout that does not work for you? Keen to hear your inputs, my friend. Thanks. Kong

Well... I know this is an

enamel dial but what I associate with breguet is elaborate multi guilloche pattern dials and subdials which can be cluttered (like their perpetuals) but still cluttered in an organized manner. Because of the enamel dial here, the trademark multi guilloche... 

Thanks for your thoughts ...

What a beautiful piece! 5907 (which I recently acquired) and this 5707 has been my favorite and am keenly interested. Questions: Is this edition only available in Pink Gold? No WG? I am strictly a white metal guy while I am an enamel dial sucker Will you ... 

Thanks Ken , at the moment ...

 
 By: Kong : September 28th, 2010-01:26
the input received is only in PG. Likewise with I prefer a WG case too, combined with the enamel and blued-hands, killer! Ok, PM you the details. Kong

Absolutely gorgeous!

Great watch

 
 By: docsnov : September 28th, 2010-19:38
The dial is very well done with multiple subdials without looking busy. My one question is that in some of the pictures the arabic hour markers look as if they weren't completely painted. The numbers look faded rather than two tone. Do they look sharper/m...

 By: Kong : September 29th, 2010-00:14
Hi Stewart The light angle plays a big part besides the depth of field of the lens which causes a slight-washout image. I guessed you may be referring to right-half of the dial. Included below, a pic with lighting from another angle (did not place in due ...
