ooh, that hurts. When I sent my 3787 in, it kept perfect time - +/- 1s. When it came back, +7s.... and I had asked them to pay particular attention to that.... "in spec" ugh...
I hear they're working on improving the service experience at least here in the US. I hope they are successful.
and, arrived
I thought this might be the year for this grail and it is. Still haven't pressed pusher #1 the final 1095 times to get the year correct, but it's great finally seeing it in person (my first 3477 in person...) Phillips Hong Kong supposedly still has the or...
nothing like bidding in the middle of the night...
....and then waiting for payment and shipping to be sorted out from halfway around the world.
A truly beautiful watch.
An iconic brand that’s somehow underrated. The watch is stunning.
Stunning congrats.
Having an issue with the year hand? You mentioned needing push it 1000 x?
there are only two pushers, so to set the watch you have to push it as much as (4*365)+1 times to get to the right date!
since i posted that, I went through the ritual.... and (ARGH) there were no 28 or 29 day months so it will have to go to Valle de Joux.... It's really easy to break these puppies if you try to set the dates any hour close to midnight! at least then the ye...
And lousy, unfortunately.
I sent a 3787 to Breguet because the retrograde date hand was not returning to 1. 18 weeks, and 4K later, there is still a problem with the retrograde function; the watch started losing up to 5 minutes a day; and then the watch just stopped running altoge...
Ouch. I had to send my wife’s watch back
after the first service as I was not satisfied with the repolishing of the bracelet. The second time it was better but far from perfect…

I've always liked the color used for the day background...
...so much better than white to me.
Just fantastic, xto!
One of the two or three greatest references from the Investcorp era. As for setting the year, I believe you do that through the month button. If I am correct you advance the month through the years until you get to the correct month in this leap year. Any...
alas, there are just two buttons - one for days (and as a function of that, months and year) and the other just for the day of week.
....more bad news this morning (Saturday) - it insists that it's still Friday. I have to hope the service is great this time. ...
Well good luck.
And that is really odd that it doesn’t have a separate month button. It could take years to get the years right. No pun intended.
The Breguet magical effect! Nothing quietd feels like a Breguet to me...
Beautiful! Congrats!
