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
