Check out the Breguet 5817..I have been a Rolex guy for many years

Hi Scrittore,

I too have been a Rolex addict for a very, very long time and while I still enjoy my Yellow gold Daytona and I gave my President day date to my son recently...I did so because I bought a Breguet 5817 Marine in yellow gold.

This watch has some quality....no body knows what it is....the accuracy is within seconds per month....the look is classic, elegant and sporty all in one...believe me, and the winder / crown is like silk to use...but most importantly, if I go different for the weekend and wear something else, when I come home and take it out of the vault...it's 65 hour power reserve still has it ticking away.

But....I am sure your Rolex will come back OK....

Kindest regards,

Jack

I have heard similar stories about every watch brand, even Rolex which is the most reliable IMHO. I hope they will fix your watch soon and you will be able to enjoy it at last. Cheers Jeff

Hi: Thank you both for your replies. I guess that lack of quality control abounds in all aspects of product life ... things just aren't what they used to be. In addition, I agree that today's youth could care less about "pride in productivity," but the wo...
