So glad to have it back...
After 6 (yes, six) months of full service at Breguet. The service bill is also shocking 
but at least i have peace of mind knowing that every parts which have worn out have been replaced. So it came back like new.
Here it is with blue Croc Delugs.
Now that i have rectangular (Reverso) and this tonneau Breguet, i want a square watch. And no one does it better than Cartier IMO.
The question is, Santos Dumont or Francaise?
I exclude Santos de Cartier because i don't like the "flowing " bezel and the dial looks flat, although the bracelet is amazing.
Which one you prefer? (Images from internet)

I have 2x Tanks
One in steel, one in gold. I think they look and wear pretty dated on their bracelets. Maybe with a more modern strap pairing? The dumont is just a very boring santos to me...never clicked with it. The only thing that's stopped me from a Santos is that th...
The layout is just perfect. And I also think the breguet hands look perfect here.
I always admired this brand and am happy it’s getting hot again.
Love that Breguet
As for the Cartier, the Santos Dumont on strap for me, all day long.
Great Breguet. From the picture I would say Santos Dumont
but one has to handle them.
Yes i have handled them both.
The Francaise feels more robust and practical with bracelet. But then i looked at the WR rating : 30 meter. Very disappointed as they could've made them 100 mtr like santos, given the sporty look. The Dumont is very pretty . Thin and dressy, 30 ntr WR is ...
6 months is acceptable...
... if it ticks nicely for the next 10 years! Did you get a little bag with all the part they changed? 10 years ago, I got that from Longines: the old hands and some wheels! A nice touch to confirm that they actually did something. For square, Cartier San...
Now this is interesting. At first they didn't give me anything but a 2K invoice.
Not even a detailed work and parts been replaced. I told them thay Omega always return the broken and worn out parts when i send my watch for service. Breguet is a part of Swatch Group don't they have same policy. The AD said Breguet Singapore's policy is...
Beautiful Breguet.
Just today I was looking at this and its chrono models in white gold bracelets, just so chic. As for the Cartier, my wife and father in law both have a tank francaise on bracelet, one is mechanical and the other one is quartz, they look good but a bit dat...

Well that’s not something I can reply,
it’s your decision, though there are worse things than spending 7k for a quartz Cartier as my wife did and spend triple the amount for a gold quartz Cartier . Although I have to give it to her, she is in love with her watch and very happy to be able to ju...
I agree about the practicality of quartz. I myself had a Gold Tank Solo (quartz) back in 2010.
Whenever I want to wear it, just grab and go. This is good especially for dress watch which is not worn daily. That is also why I'm eyeing the Santos Dumont size L , two tone with quartz.
Logical.
I also have a 36mm Cartier Rond as a dress watch, back from when Cartier was offering the watch on a black alligator strap. It’s quartz and I must admit it’s easy to just strap and go. There is always a place for a Cartier in ones collection.
