😂 at the conspiracy comments. Breguet doesn’t even know I exist, and if they did, I’m not sure they’d pay me to buy a discontinued watch from a pre-owned retailer and talk about how bad the depreciation is
@@Joeybanananas when you say it depreciates horribly and you paid way less, it's not very elegant. But I could have phrased my comment more elegantly too.
Breguet was bound to start gaining attention. PP, AP, AL&S, and the holy trinity get more unaffordable, people start looking at brands like Breguet, JLC, Vacheron, and other legacy brands for relative values. This has happened several times over the last 20 years.
I am happy that you found the watch that speaks to you and makes you happy. IMHO it looks like a half-finished project, a half-baked cake but beauty is in the eye of the beholder - enjoy. Thank you for sharing with us. Your passion is contagious.
Breguet, my favourite watch brand! Except when I need to sell one, then it's a matter of explaining to so called "collectors", just how special and important Breguet is... Thanks Andrew, another great video.
Breguet: you are a man of taste and distinction, that´s it. What I like the most is the fact that they take the solid gold dial and then silver gilt it because they prefer the silver as color. Way to go! Nobody knows it, but the owners do. That is more than enough...
@@SIMARJEETMEHTA Oh definitely! I would never buy a gold-gold watch. If I had the money, it would always be the white gold! (Oh well, one exception maybe: the BVLGARI Octo Finissimo in satin brushed gold-gold. That is really to die for. But to wear, definitely white gold...)
The design so iconic I could tell it's a Breguet from the thumbnail that's also blurred. Still think Breguet looks best in white gold with the blue screws, though.
Oh dear... TGV is gonna be pissed at your purchase 😳 in gold and 37mm !! He bought the 40mm...big mistake for such a traditionalist, he's gonna regret it😢
What was he thinking? It looks ridiculous on him. 😂🤦 Perhaps he didn't have a choice? Perhaps that was what was put in front of him for the contracted bargain price. 🤷 Getting so tired of the BS shenanigans. Thank God for people of integrity like Jody. 👍
Congrats on acquiring such a fantastic piece of kinetic art and the Terry Pratchett-esque script, which is always highly entertaining! Perfect time and reason to ditch the scruffy look and brutalist set and opt for a new logo in a Breguet-appropriate font. Have an incredibly average Christmas, Andrew 🎅
I'm a big fan of well made watch movements and historical relevant brands like breguet. But having a tiny dial this is like buying a large smartphone that only displays a postage stamp size screen. I think they should have put the minute a hour makers on the back of the crystal.
@Org80 That's a good point.I overlook that probably because the Mary Antoinette watch that has that detail and thought it would look good on a watch like this.
@@Omega30t2RG it's a great idea putting the minute track on the underside of the crystal they could do it on another movement where the handstack pinion is in the centre. That would be so cool
Oh dear, that's fugly. Still, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if it is your grail watch, congratulations. Hope it gives you enjoyment for many years.
I just don’t vibe with it. The dial is so piddly, it’s like a King wearing a miniature crown. It’s less watch and more art, but even still we’re lacking in those iconic Breguet features. The famed hands are shrunk down to be only readable under a microscope, for example. Not for me, but enjoy!
My grail watch! I worked for a watch dealer that was an autherised breguet dealer (amongst many other brands including the likes of AP) and this was still my favourite watch!
aaw !!!! me and Doris were talking about our day . Doris wasn’t too happy cos we didn’t get out for a pwoppa walk cos of rain and high winds and your broadcast was a little late for us . just cos we don’t usually have to wait cos of coming in lateish from a ‘normal’ day walk and we can settle straight into your delivery . so here we were , Doris not happy therefore me not happy either . but we persevered . AND LO !!!! we’re at the end of your most inspiring presentation EVVA !! feeling uplifted and inspired and generally happy that someone has realised a heartfelt longing and is not ashamed to let anyone know about it !!!! me and Doris are feeling emotionally and spiritually replete from your metaphorical banquet of richness and spontaneous delivery of thankfulness and gratitude and praise . top man . me and Doris are together again thanks to you . baggsies !!!! l gooru 🎉
Probably took you more than two years, but you eventually got there. Happy to finally see the good ol' Watchfinder vibes that got me hooked in the first place. Keep 'em coming Andrew! I mean videos in this style, not purchases of 12k 😂
I might have missed it in this video. TGV video stated, from the AD, “Breguet is the only one that can service their watches”. For the commoner, like myself, service cost is always a big concern with any watch I purchase.
Great watch. You are the second RUclipsr I’ve seen pick one of these up. I think the other is the newer model. Both are amazing. I’m not sure it’s for me but I absolutely respect the craftsmanship and the history. VC American 1921 is still my goal watch but this is gorgeous as well.
Congratulations, Andrew! I've always thought Breguet is undervalued, and aside from their heritage and top notch workmanship, I think they are far more beautiful than the offerings of Patek and AP. Perhaps it's time for me to sell the Jag...
I can't believe the prices for Breguet on Ebay right now. It's like the bargain basement at Woolworths on Black Friday! That is if you're in the 10K-30K section of that department store. But still. Why go Rolex or any other Major brand?
Very happy for you Andrew! Buying a watch you love is fantastic regardless of what anyone else thinks or says!! One quick nerdy point though: At 5:25 you say that only Vacheron Constantin can claim to be older but have you perhaps overlooked Blancpain or am I missing something? Happy holidays all 🎉. Z
I used to watch all your videos at watch finder and loved the macro video and talking hands so much. I have started making my own macro videos on watches.
I am happy for you, Andrew! You are as excited as I was when I bought my first Cadillac. I couldn’t afford a new one, so I bought a used one from a a funeral home. It is still still my favorite car of all time. I am always in a good mood after watching your videos!
It's not for me. The blue screws stand out way more than the jewels do. I'd rather the jewels be seen more. But the gold tone background drowns out the jewels. But happy you were able to get what you want.
I had the automatic version a while back (with a black polished snail on the back operating the retrograde seconds) - it was unbelievable for £10k. The best watch I ever owned. With you and Urban Gentry both getting a tradition - I guess prices might be inching up. Shame!
Everything Swatch touches turn to s***. Silicon in a traditional watch is a sacrilege, the finishings are rough and too much lubricants on the gears. Falls like rock on price for a reason. Just the name remains of the iconic watchmaker himself.
Buy the watch/es you want and enjoy it. Don’t worry about its value. Then again I’ve benefited from someone who thought their watch would increase in value. It didn’t
At least you paid used prices unlike the faux British aristo who claims he paid full retail......righhhhhtttt!! You both better love what you bought, however. On resale you'll lose your shirt. If he wasn't telling porkies (some chance!!) he'll lose ten.
@@BAF605 Most of these channels are infomercials, you haven't cracked a secret code with your brainpower. You also choose to watch them lol. It has nothing to do with my comment.
Just watched the TGV video and he has clearly been given tons of Breguet in-house marketing materials to use. Yet, not a single one of his comments calls it out as a commercial. There's your conspiracy folks! Did TGV really get only super praise for that video?
Nice. Really nice. But yes definitely not mainstream, very much an enthusiast timepiece. The dial and back is stunning but the time display as you say is really quite small. However I suspect the last thing you care about when wearing this is what the time is. I traded in a few pieces for a 5157. For me it’s one of the best dress watches out there. And nicer than a patrimony, master ultra thin, Saxonia or calatrava. In my opinion. Also that LU chopard you showed in white gold with a micro rotor is a blinder.
And the price will come back if the fake alien attack is called off. And can we really really trust Subdial? I'll head to the site to search for authentication process. Congrats, it's a beauty.
There are desirable watches that need no explanation. Then there's this Breguet whose actual target audience likely doesn't need to make RUclips content.
Okay, yes, on the face of it, you and Tristano have some 'splainin' to do…not because I've put my tin-foil hat on (don't own one, thankfully), but simply for how you two not only zeroed-in on Breguet *proper*, but ostensibly the same damned watch in the course of a week, the coincidence of which twists the brain a bit harder than the biggest Six Flags rollercoaster could manage.
In my humble opinion this watch suffers from the same problem I had with the first CW Bell Canto that was recently fixed which brings the new Bell Canto to perfection. The small dial is beautiful, but the rest of the watch face is hideously dull and lacking in sophisticated hand-crafted artistry. Its bland mechanistic look is totally off putting.

Exactly. Why would Breguet collab with a pre-owned retailer? They wouldn't. And your video pointed out how overpriced the current Breguet model is.
I love your videos, but this one I'm not so sure about. It seems a bit disrespectful to tgv even if it is a coincidence.
@yellingatcloud Honest question. Do you think TGV's video was sponsored by Breguet?

That it is

Congratulations with an amazing watch, the Urban Gentry did the same. Enjoy it and the number on your dial is unique for your watch
Did you find yourself chuffed to bits?
Oh dear, that's fugly.
Still, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if it is your grail watch, congratulations.
Hope it gives you enjoyment for many years.
Still chortling to the ‘bag of badgers quip and you hit us with Jesus...’nailed it’ ❤
I love the sound of a good wind!
First Urban Gentry and now Talking hands ? Okay what is happening here ? How did a zombie brand suddenly became popular again ?
Beautiful. Looks like a Bel Canto Classic. 😂 BTW, the best watch is the one you love for yourself and can’t take off. Enjoy!!!
If I were a cynical person, this and the other guys 'purchase' were orchestrated by the brand.
Considering right after he seeing his video this morning and then this popping up isn't suspicious at all
Now that i think about it. In the last month, 2 other watch influencers spent time going on about how great the tradition is..
Anyone heard of the term ‘Coincidence?’….
Breguet is such an iconic brand, an incredibly rich history. Congratulations on a lovely purchase.
Love this channel but this is the 2nd video this week from someone big in the online watch world buying the exact same “grail” watch. What gives?

Bought a Breguet last week. That’s where value in the market is right now. Insanely well priced
