I went to St. Thomas, USVI looking for a GMT/Dual Time of some sort. I looked at the Rolex GMT and was not impressed at all (compared to my TT DateJust, TT blue Sub and SS/plat YachtMaster). I also looked at the Ulysse Nardin, Zenith Dual Time, Panerai, IWC, Girard-Perregaux, Glashutte, and JLC offerings, but ended up with something entirely unexpected:

You like?

Like/?????? LOVE IT!!! Congrats

What's there not too like!!!?????

14 March 2006, 05:46 AM

That is my all-time fave chronograph. BruceS (here) had one last year. It's awesome!!!

Congrats and enjoy!

Very nice, I like the 3D markers.
For me, my eyes are too old to see the details on watches with that many complications. BUT it is a very nice addition.

mbogo · 14 March 2006, 06:11 AM

Thanks, fellas. I'd hoped I'd someday own a Breguet, but I was thinking more along the lines of the 5930.

I was surprised at how much I liked this watch once I put it on.

Like it? Holy cow I love it!! Congrats George!!! That is a real beauty pal!

14 March 2006, 07:35 AM

Wow! Excellent choice!

mbogo · 14 March 2006, 08:33 AM

One of the cooler things about this watch is that it has seven hands, no two of which are the same.

This watch beats the Daytonas I've tried on (except the WG w/meteorite dial) with a stick in terms of looks.

Very cool George.

Lots of luck with it

IMHO, you are right on the money it blows away the Daytona. That is an awesome watch.

You are a champion of champions, George. Exquisite taste in a very superlative timepiece!! Beauty!!

Wear it in good health, pal....always!!

AJC · 14 March 2006, 10:09 PM

Nail on the head my friend. That 'baguette' blows any Daytona away, even the meteorite dial (IMHO). I just love that chrono and you'd be hard pressed to buy a more storied brand, too. Awesome!

Rockrolex · 15 March 2006, 12:24 PM

Very nice, George. I would agree with your comparison to the Daytona, except, as you say, for the WG meteorite.

TARDIS · 15 March 2006, 04:06 PM

Hey George:
That is a magnificent watch and fab photos too

Are you going to wear it? It will become a very 'religious' watch, or at least you may think you are.

You know what may happen is if you wear it?

People will walk up to you and exclaim

"Jesus Christ!, gimme a look at your watch!"

Steve

Wear it in very good health pal.

mbogo · 16 March 2006, 02:17 AM

Steve, I have been wearing it (and a smile) for the last three days.

So far, only one guy I know has even remarked on it ("That a new watch?"), and he was thunderstruck when I told him it was a Breguet. He knows the brand, but did not know they made a 'sport' chronograph.

Very nice looking watch George,again a uncommon very undervalued brand.
