Breguet

Need some feedback please...................................to buy a Classique 5140(not enamel)  or yellow gold Tradition..

what would all of you do.......If i could have both then there would be no problem...But.......

cheers

I even made a post about it ( in fact, a post about the 5140, another one about the 5177, and the last one ref to the Tradition ).

The 5140, enamel or not, is another expression of Breguet tradtion ( enamel, or guillochage ).

The Tradition is well called, indeed, as it enhances the " Pare Chute ", and is looking like the old Breguet watches.

If I had to choose, I would go on the Tradition.

If you do a search, " And the winner is ", you will find the post.

Hope this will help you,

Best,

Nicolas

If it was the Patek 5140, then I might be inclined towards the perpetual calendar by Patek; but if it's the 5140 by Breguet, I'm still moved by the La Tradition, especially the one with the retrograde seconds (very nice to look at, hopefully just as reliable as it is nice).

The 5140 is a beautiful classic Breguet piece; but the La Tradition is a modern classic.

tks forthe advice..........i think ill get the tradition but ill probably get the 5140 as well a bit later.....

Yellow gold (more traditional and goes back to heritage)

or white gold (you see more blued steel)? 

Manual wind movement with power reserve (more traditional, what the La Tradition is all about)

or automatic with retrograde seconds (more dynamism)? 

Breguet is also coming out with a tourbillon with a chain fusee transmission for the LaTradition! 

ive totally changed and gone for the black faced marine with bracelet and a leather strap...dont like rubber straps............ 

Im waiting for it to be delivered to the AD ive bought it from......im having the Brecelet and croc strap hopefully with deployment the same as the rubber( they are finding out for me)...should be about 3 weeks. Iwasnt planning on getting the marine but the Black face just looks unbelievable.........Ilooked at the enamel 5177 but it is too plain.....the 5140 i couldnt look at as they didnt have 1...neither did the Breguet boutique in London..........................but im over the moon with the Marine
