breguet v. lange
hi all,
first post of mine here, so please bear with me -
I am thinking about buying a simple dress watch by Breguet, specifically 5157, 5930, 5177, 5140 and finally (somewhat different and not as simple) 5207. Id be very interested in comments you may have on the movements behind these watches and how they compare (i read the piguet in 5930 is not that great?) I really like Breguet watches "visually" but am a little ambiguous about what I am getting for my money in terms of real manufacturing quality. I am also thinking about getting - either in addition to or instead of the Breguet - a Lange Saxonia (handwound), so any thoughts Lange v. Breguet would also be appreciated...
Cheers,

I own a Breguet 5707 and a Richard Lange. I find that the finishing on both watches to be top quality but the Richard Lange is the more accurate of the two. However, I must add the comparison for accuracy is a bit unfair since they are different watches d...
Saxonia

Hi, Thanks for your input, guys. After giving this quite a bit of thought I decided to go with the Lange Saxonia in rosegold with the grey dial, and so far I'm very pleased with the watch. In terms of style it has similarities with the Patek Golden Eclips...
