Early Roger Dubois Models?

Anyone have one? Thoughts on it? Which earlier models have a geneva seal?

I think all had the seal and a STRONG buy. His early stuff with the fancy crystal are my faves.

What do you mean by fancy crystal? Any idea what the year range is for models with the seal?

Am referring to the shape of the crystal.

Not sure dates with seal, ask RD I guess.

Saw a Hommage H40 listed and super tempted. This is 40mm based on the Lemania 2310, and easily one of the most beautiful watches ever.

The are mostly all gorgeous, especially the Hommage pieces of the mid to late 90s to the early 2000s, but asking prices have gotten out of control.

Really not worth the money anymore
Those chronographs are euro 60-70 till 80k which imo is nuts

I would not buy one today, it’s too late

No a breguet chrono 3237 or better 5237 ( slightly bigger )
Their fantastic lemania based classic chronograph
Heck today you can get BOTH for the price of new patek chrono.

Easy choice !!

And without looking at the price it even looks 10 times better

Neo vintage breguet is the way to go

Agree, recent asking prices have become out of hand (but to be fair, that can be said about many things luxury). Still, they are wonderful pieces, especially those in fancier casing. jmho
