Thinking about a Classics Chrono......
Hi All.
First let me start by saying that I have never owned a Breguet. I've seen a few in the metal and thought they were very nice but just not my cup of tea. I've always been more of a sport chrono (Rolex Daytonas) or minimalist dress watch (Patek, VC, JLC) kind of guy.
Recently I've been on the hunt for a new dress piece (VC Partimony, Lange 1815) but my heart is not really in it since I rarely have the need to tux up or even get into a "nice" suit. And then I saw a Breguet 3237 and my head started to spin. This could be the all around piece I've been looking for; a chrono to keep me entertained but in an 18k case small and eloquent enough to be a dress watch.
So please be kind to a Breguet Noob and post any pics or comments you might have about the 3237 or 5237. I'm particularily interested in your thoughts about case size, a chrono as a formal piece, and opinions on the Lemania movement as if it could be considered in-house manufacturer?
Also any tips on current recession market value, original MSRP's or a good place to locate one of these beauties would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Mike
