Breguet

I tried this nice gem on my wrist. 39 mm perfection in Platinum. I have much to think about now…








Sorry for the photo quality. The light conditions, where not that easy.

All the best

1. The costs. I don’t make such decisions in a rush. Other people buy a (small) house or 5 cars for this money.
2. The GP Neo Tourbillon that still haunts my dreams.

in various variants. They are … outstanding. For me the “modern” interpretation. Although the architecure of these bridges is quite old, too.

The Breguet Tourbillon is the classic. The beginning of everything. The origin.

And the movement side with all this hand engraving is sublime too!

I understand the hesitation, although imho this Breguet has a historical “plus” on the GP, and is perfect in platinum.
So I’d go for this one 😬👌🏻 Congratulations in advance regardless of your choice !

On the internet, not in a shop.

that inspired me a lot more.

But when I saw this 5317 in the flesh, it … flashed me (nice pun, at least for someone whose first language is not English 😁)

I've written it here again and again, but I seem to have to remind myself over and over again, too: never rely just on the pictures on the internet!!

You just have to see a watch live on your wrist.

This Breguet in real life is incomparably more effective and convinces me much more than on “flat” images. So I wouldn’t have chosen it just with the internet pictures in mind.

Also the case size of 39mm is more than enough (normally I won’t buy beyond 40 mm, because despite my narrow wrist, I only feel comfortable with this case size. For whatever reason).

Cheers

For me it is a no brainer to go for this Breguet.
Sure, the GP’s are awesome, hard to ignore.

A power reserve meter, a tourbillon, a second hand on the tourbillon, a platinum case, 39mm case size, Breguet hands (it is a Breguet, coincidence), and even the black strap is ok.

If you have a house and a couple of nice cars, and still some cash after the purchase, than there is no hurdle on the road.

I see ones a Breguet Marine in a shop and i looked also at images on the internet.
It depends on how the images are taken.
Sure, a Marine is a different Breguet than the tourbillon you post, albeit it was a guilloché Bregeut i had ones in my own hands. Impressive and not expensive. A serious professional bike.

Thank you very much.
I see and understand your inclination towards Breguet.

Regardless of the number of houses and cars: do you also have a kind of psychological pain threshold/barrier where you think twice about an acquisition, regardless of whether you can afford the object of desire or not?

I feel this way when I think about how hard many people work and will never be able to afford it.
I have also worked hard for decades and am now reaping the rewards. There always remains a feeling of gratitude. So I am well aware of this happiness of prosperity.
And still, on the other hand, I also have a bad conscience when I buy a luxury item in this price category.

Yes, your way is great.

I peak a little what the Breguet 5317 price new is.
🤗.
A bit over 1 ton plus a green Submariner with box and papers.
I commit, a Breguet Marine in stainless steel is cheaper.

For the hard workers a Breitling Navitimer can be their first celebration for the sweat and tears.
My advice to them is to set a Rolex out of their mind and focus on a decent Fortis.

More than this one?






Or this one?





☺️

How nice the skeletonized three bridges GP’s look at the pictures, i will take the Breguet 5317 as my choice.

You definitely have your own taste and know what you want.

I like that.

But that's a very personal thing and each person is different. As they say, trust your gut and get the one that sings to you.

The only problem is: BOTH sing to me. 🙄🙏

that's exactly the kind of advice

I ABSOLUTELY DON'T NEED!!!!

Hahahahaha

but I would want to see it on the whole dial and not disturbed by a tourbillon. Because although I like tourbillons a guilloche dial has more appearance and structure when being plain imho
