Breguet as dress watch

Hi guys,

I payed a trip to my AD yesterday and behold what he pulled out of the safe for me...
A NOS 3580 with Power Reserve indicator and Moon Phase. In compartment to the newer 3130 (with added date function) this dial looks less busy to me.

I love the look of this watch as a dress watch! It's 35-36mm and only 8mm high.
Fits perfect under a sleeve, elegant and a real beauty
He had this particular watch in his stock for a while and we agreed for him to have it regulated and serviced before I went to pick it up.
So end of July I will be rocking this beauty on my wrist

Breguets with guilloche dials are lovely dress pieces.

I really like the Breguet dress watches, actually a lot more than the sports watches.

Breguet has some stunning watches, considering the engine turned guilloche work they are pretty affordable as well.

I fully agree guys!
There is something that screams traditional elegance about these watches.
I would also not call them old-fashioned. Perhaps not a fad, but definitely not old-fashioned

I love my modern and vintage Rolex watches as well, but this Breguet will have it's place amongst the rest, for the classy elegant moments

Thanks guys!
I'm looking forward to get it back from the routine check-up in July.

I'll be sure to post some extra pictures and wrist shots
