Breguet

Dear Purists, I have recently acquired my first Breguet after many years of coveting one. Love the size, the case, the movement but most of all - the dial! Anyone knows when this model was introduced and how long it stayed in production? And another short...  

But your photography skills are even more impressive 👍🏿👌🏿

Very fond of the 3237 (and the similar 5237), probably the nicest HW chrono this side of Lange. Much nicer than Breguet's newer versions of essentially the same watch, which are unnecessarily big and often have unnecessarily busy dials. Also much nicer th... 

as it is pretty much what I am thinking. The race after big cases has left us with one loser - the movement! All those spacer rings are driving me insane. And the dials with a lot going on at the outer edge just to mask the subdials sitting to close to th...  

... the long-discontinued Vacheron Les Historiques chrono is also a nice watch and, in YG, is a good deal in the secondary market. Myself, I am resolutely a grey-metal guy, and would kill for the ultra rare platinum version with the guilloche salmon dial ... 

And I agree with the YG 90s chrono (47101) being a good deal.

You have an amazing watch! Owning a Breguet would be my highest horological achievement! I will one day! Best, E.

As for the box, I much prefer boxes in size small as these are much easier to store. And the suede sleeve is a great way to store the watch.

One doesn't need to worry about the papers.

of your new Breguet Classique Chronograph 3237. Amazing looking watch, love to look at that caliber. George

It’s all the positive comments that bring inspiration to keep experimenting with light and shadows I have compared this movement to a friend's VC 47101 and they appear to be identical but for the engravings of course. I am actually suspecting that the mov... 

... Breguet is Swatch, Vacheron is Richemont, and I'm pretty sure that the label does the finishing, not the movement provider (Lemania, also Swatch, in this case).

so technically the movements could have been ordered from the same manufacturer already finished.

Excellent 3237 once again. Apologies for leaving multiple comments about the same watch.

I used the contact link on Breguet's website to ask when my watch was provided to the dealer who sourced it because that particular store was no longer listed as an AD for Breguet. I received a response within 48 hours that confirmed the dealer was in fac... 

It’s defined worth a try.

The size is perfect

...or classier than this. And crazy inexpensive as far as these things go.

I think it’s the size that makes them cheap. But in a few years the size will make ‘em expensive again

...but don't mind wearing 36mm at all. More good stuff for us : )

..

I use an Olympus e-m1 mark II and Zuiko lenses. I believe these ones were taken with 25mm 1.2 and 45mm 1.2

What are your honest opinions: the brown calf or the black gator? ...  

There's a lot of lovely brown straps I've seen put on Breguets, I wear mine on a Patek Gator strap and I've seen others wear them on a tan saffiano leather strap which looks terrific, ...  

I love that reference.

Hi everyone. First time using this website. I have scrolling through Instagram and the Breguet 3237 caught my attention! I fell in love with the design and it’s case proportion( not to forget that I’m also Chronograph lover). Would like know what material...
