My first Breguet: A Classique 7337BB. I came very close 15 years ago to adding one but it fell through. Finally many years later I have my first. It is the perfect size for me and the dial is amazing. Overall quality is second to none and right up there with my best pieces. For the money it is also a true value. You just get so much with Breguet for the money. Cheers all,

Absolutely fantastic pickup such a great reference love everything about it!

The value really is incredible. to me it feels like a watch collecting cheat code being able to own the Breguets that I do like I shouldnt be able to own 5 of these for less than what a 5167a goes for. I love the 5167a btw just using it as an example for the value proposition.

Nicely done Ken! Beautiful timepiece that fits you perfectly. Agree with everything you say but what took you so long getting a Breguet

Great trio!

I’ve been eyeing 5517 and 5547s a lot lately especially the RG white dial version but all the versions are fantastic.

As soon as the right deal pops up I’m gonna pounce.

Well I didn't see that one coming, or did I ? :-)

Its a great watch and in general a fantastic brand.

And TBH, looking at secondhand value ... Forget about Patek, Vacheron and AP. Breguet offers the same quality and I even dare to say MORE quality than the other 3. Look how the dials are made hand Guilloché , how the case is made, how the lugs are soldered.
The so called holy trinity doesn't take the effort to use soldered lugs.

The finishing ( engage, inward angles, ... ) BETTER than comparable pieces from the 3 others. I'm not saying a 40K Breguet is at the same level as a 400K patek repeater. But when the watches are around the same price ... Breguet is just better finished.

They are among the best except when looking at marketing. They somehow don't succeed in storytelling. Even when looking at the 250 year history they are more important and ave a richer history.

Anyway ... Among all the watches I have ... Breguet is the one that speaks to me the most.

Thanks Bruno and agree exceptional value for the money. The soldered lugs are cool and the dial is amazing. I would replace AP in the HT with Breguet all day long. As for the lugs the only other watch I have that has soldered lugs is my platinum VC CDV. It is also a next level watch and far nicer than any chrono I own or have owned. As for Breuget, this is one of 2 incomings. I will share the other later but you already know what it is. Thanks for your insight into Breguet my friend!

My 2nd Breguet incoming. A pristine 3657PT whole set including original receipt from 2003. Most definitely the nicest watch I’ve ever laid eyes on!

Ken, you also have to show the back.
That alone is already a work of art
Completely hand engraved!

Here you go Bruno. Not the best picture but I am sure I’ll take many more over time. What’s cool is no two are the exact same as they are each hand engraved.
