The Breguet Thread - Post Pics

[PhilLynott]

Wanted to have a place for pics of my favorite brand. I'm always snapping shots and have no place to dump them I'm sure others do the same so please dump them here!

I currently have 3 of the 5817 (silver, black and rose gold) as I think it's the most incredible value going currently. This being the newest:



I'd love to add a Tradition in the coming years most likely targeting the 7097 or 7067. Maybeeee will try to complete the 5817 set too but I think that itch is scratched with my current lineup.

Very nice 5177! There are some other threads with Breguet pics you may wish to look up here and share on.

I just discovered this thread.
Absolutely lovely picture. I’ve been eyeing this 5517 in grey. I know you are well versed in various brands, would you be able to give your experience with this Marine on its own and in comparison to other brands sports models.

Also, what a treat to get the serial number that you got. Send me some of your luck :)

Hi buddy, I'm happy to share my experience of owning this watch. It is very light and comfortable on the wrist as it is titanium. It weighs only 90g on the scale. I think it's a perfect daily watch. Before i pulled the trigger, I could not try it as there is no availability at the AD, but I'm drawn to the aesthetics I saw in videos and mags, particularly with the blue sunburst dial and the unique fluted side profile. When I finally received the watch, it didn't disappoint in metal. The watch box is also marine-theme and it has a wonderful woody smell. I really like what Breguet is doing as it is quite different from other brands.

I didn't really have a lot of exposure with other sport brands as I have only owned Rolex professionals and Patek sports. The Breguet Marine is priced between the Nautilus and Rolex sports and the biggest differentiation between them to me is the usage of titanium in the 5517 - it is very light and comfortable on the wrist. The bracelet is all brushed like a SS submariner which means you need not bother about scratches like it is on the PCL.

Good luck with your serial number and congratulations in advance!

Thank you for your perspective. I am really digging this. I too don’t have nearby AD so would be going sight unseen…your input is thus very helpful :)

I will play
5817 was my first. Then had beautiful rose gold 3810 but that has left. Now have added a 3800 from around 1997- gorgeous

Is that a question for me??
Wrist shots were cell phone, but the close ups were with a DSLR macro lens

Not sure if you have quoted the wrong post or reference but if you are referring to my Marine 5517, then thank you!

I meant 5817. Your 5517 is great too! I’ve been eyeing a 5517 for a few months now and guess I was accustomed to typing it into the browser haha

I have to admit you put me on that trail when you said you had ordered one. I had never really seriously considered one as favored their pilots before now. I love a watch in titanium with lume.

[asloper6001]

Love that rare gold crown Type XX. I have a couple of Type XX (one very rare) I will post tomorrow. Breguet is also my favorite brand and love seeing an updated new thread! Cheers!

[mps354]

Have the black dial 5817, such a great watch. Would add a silver as well

[Gebbeth]

These Breguets are so beautiful. I really don't understand why they are not better known. Although, keeping them a secret from the "crowd" has its own benefits.

[asloper6001]

Here are my two Breguet's! Type XX Revail Alarm which was limited to 500pcs in the Euro market. The two-crown system is pretty cumbersome (prob reason for limited production IMO), but I still love it. The other is the Type XX Titanium version with a carbon fiber dial. Sorry for the bad pics, as we know with the no AR coating on these they can be a pain in the a$$ to shoot, or I'm just a crappy photo man too!

The gold crown Type XX or the Rare Salmon dial is something I'm still hunting for!

I love Breguet …

Great stuff everyone! I have my silver dial on today. Found this dark navy oem strap on ebay recently for $100 and think its perfect match.

[PhilLynott]

Just sitting here looking at this watch with my jaw on the ground like every other time.

My newest addition and first Breguet! Could not be more excited about adding this amazing piece from a criminally underrated brand!

My Bregeut Tradition and a picture of the Breguet pocket watch that provided the inspiration. For those unaware you can order 8 volumes of the Breguet magazine from their website for free.

I miss my tradition. I could see another iteration in the future. Thanks for the heads up on the magazine - just requested.

I really hope they have some big plans to revive this brand.

[PekWatchGuy]

Congrats that is gorgeous!! I look up traditions daily trying to decide which version I’m going to go for. I think the 7067 GMT may be the one but I love all the versions its so tough.

[thekman]

Another shot of this awesome piece. If this had the logo of MB&F, Kari or FPJ people would be going mad for it.

I went to an AD last week and got to try on a 7097 (only one they had) and it was just so amazing in the flesh. I still think the 7067 speaks to me the most but would like to see in person.

Thanks for the magazine link that's awesome!
