Great capture mate! Very elegant piece.
Love the grand feu enamel dial, not to mention that sunken subdial to add that little bit of depth and character to what is already a gorgeous dial. Pity about the 40mm size, wished it was of a more classic proportion. I guess the thinness makes up for it...
I've long admired these pieces
As of now I still prefer the more sunken and pronounced subdial of the 5140. Either piece, however, is pure class. ...
I always liked this one. For what it is, a superb and very elegant time keeper with an enamel dial at a time enamel watches were quite rare.
Now, one or two mm smaller would have been more my taste... Best, Nicolas
This one is really beautiful.
I recently tried it on. The email dial, the details, the thin-ness. It is simply a stunning looking dress watch. The only negative is the size, as I believe a 38mm would be better suited. With the 40mm dial, there is a lot of empty space, which is much mo...
Agreed.
A big fan of this watch, but 40mm and the lugs make it wear too large for me to use as a dress watch. The details are great though.
A fair point. However, if you notice, Breguet made the numerals more bold and slightly larger versus the 5140 to take up the space better.
I think it really works, but each eye will have to judge.
Sounds like
A Breguet 5157 for you! Or A Breguet 5277 #!2454 or, I suppose a Breguet 5177...which is their most popular Classique, judging by the 15 (!) variants.
Beautiful shot of a classic !
i love this bro ! I wish its 38mm as I suspect the straight lugs will overhang my small 6.2 inch wrist Will try it when I can. I love the enamel dial Cheers Robin
Indeed, very tempting...
A real beauty. Hard to catch in the shop lights. Best, Thomas ...
I am totally smitten with this watch
maybe time to visit a Breguet dealer.... It it your watch, Beerstyle? Thanks.
you should
go to the dealer and try it on. some collectors has complained it wears too large so best to be hands-on. Yep, watch is mine. Another picture for u. ...
Yes I like it a lot - I like your wristshot even more.
40 mm is big - but im a big MF so maybe I can pull it of! thank you for the pic - more are welcomed ;-) best Christian
I'd prefer 38-39 to 40 as well. But I tried it on this last Friday
and it was OK. The sales advisor said that people wanted this size, and that I'm "a big guy," so that the size is right. I'm a 7.25" wrist and not heavy. Most of my watches are below 40mm. So his comment didn't come out as a compliment, though I know he m...
