THANKS

I own a classique too (5207- retrograde seconds) but also too afraid to try a strap change on my own. Now that it's confirmed that you need to have two screwdrivers on either side for both models, I'm inclined to bring it to the AD for any strap changes..

Good question!

There is not much that exciting from JLC recently (since the True Second). Maybe a second-hand Reverso TT1931, but they are not easy to find and a bit pricey for what you get. With Breguet, I'd like to try Rose Gold for the first time (all my watches are

Forget how much I like this watch (ref 5207)

Finishing Touches

While examining a macro of the ref 5207, I noticed that the stamp on the movement contained some imperfections. The tops of some of the letters are not completely filled and appear darker. Would a stamp process versus hand engraving explain the unevenness

Breguet 5207

Trying to learn how to use a macro on a cell phone. I love the off center hour markers and the alignment of the power reserve, hour/minute hands and the fly back second hand.

trade opportunity

If I were your friend, I would trade for the marine big date in a New York minute! Last year, I had a similar situation. I ended up selling my Transatlantic Type XX for the Marine Big Date. (rubber strap and silver dial) It has become my favorite watch! I
