Ref 5907 in RG or YG?
Hello everyone,
I have been reading this board for sometime by now, but this is my first time posting. So here is the story. I have been looking to buy a classic looking simple watch and have narrowed down my choice to a couple of Patek's Calatrava's (3919 of course and less classic but nevertheless good looking 5107 and 3998) and a couple of Breguet's, namely ref 5920 and 5907 - I really like small seconds hand or an absence of it even). Also I am rather indifferent to automatic/hand winding issue. Presently I am leaning towards Breguet, Patek's 5107/3998 being somewhat more expensive and 3919 being maybe too simple looking (?) It's got its' own charm, but I think I'd prefer something more decorated. From the beginning I'd say I liked 5920 more, but then the polished chapter ring, with a signature, looked really good on 5930. So I looked at 5907 and decided that I was prepared to sacrifice a date window for a more symmetrical and sleek look, never mind all the features of 5907 - glass back, power reserve indicator there, small golden studs on the dial, polished chapter ring. Hence now I am looking at 5907 as my most likely choice. And here is the choice of colours, I am thinking RG vs YG. I am inclined towards RG, like on the photo posted in the gallery by RT. The problem is that the dealer in my area is a small one and they don't have a single Breguet in RG to check out the colour. And other makes may have different alloy composition and hence colour. Those of you who have seen it, Breguet's RG, what do you think of it? I am worried about it being too red, that's the thing, too similar to copper for example? If anyone has or can make more pictures of it in different lightings/backdrops, that somehow would truly portray the colour as it is in real life, on the wrist maybe, I would be very grateful.
My best regards to the community,
