Just my 2 cents
Personally, I prefer the Breguet 5907. Both the watches you have chosen are similar. They are both very classic and have a small seconds. However, from an aesthetic standpoint, the 5907 is much cleaner looking (without the different "appliques" for each number). I know that the 5907 is a manual wind - and in the past, I had a preference for automatics. BUT now, after years of collecting, I really like the feel of a manual wind. Each watch has a different wind. Some are smoother. Some make click sounds. Manual winds give a mechanical watch character - a stark juxtaposition to quartzes And the 3907, if I'm not mistaken, has a 90+ hour power reserve - making it ALMOST an automatic when fully wound. Even with my automatics, I like winding every so often.
Just my two cents. Good luck - choosing between two Breguets is a great problem to have. I have two Breguets that I personally adore.
Need to decide.....

Between a 5907 and a 5920. I've been lurking around here for a while, and this is my first post. I need help to decide which to purchase. This will be my first high end watch and I want to make the right decision. I like the fact that the 5920 shows the d...

Decided on the 5920

In white gold. Also upgraded to a deployment clasp (which comes with an additional strap). The original strap, with the tang buckle stayed with Breguet, and they installed the new strap with deployment clasp before they shipped, which saved me a few bucks...

pics, ill try to post a few more when i get a chance. no complaints as of yet, except that the leather strap is very stiff. i am assuming it will take a short while to break it in. the watch sounds and moves great. not that i was anticipating any problems...

on the one which spoke to me more. I liked the applique style numerals a bit more and I was able to get a deployment clasp which works great as well. hope that helps. and let me know what u decide.
5907 and 5920

Thank you for the response. How about the size. I know the 5907 is smaller, is it that much smaller? What about the thinness of the 5920? I have not seen a Breguet in person, but plan on making a trip to the east coast sometime in the fall, do you have an...
