Hands-On: With The Breguet Classique Chronographe 5287 (Live Pics & Pricing)
Breguet might be best known for its historically-inspired tourbillons, but today we present the brand's new take on the classic dress chronograph, the Classique Chronographe 5287. Words like "lavish" and "indulgent" immediately come to mind when handling the 5287. It's definitely very traditional in its inspiration, but there are a number of modern touches that make the 5287 something different entirely. 2 OF 22 The predecessor to the 5287 is the 5247, which utilized the same movement (more on that later) but with completely different aesthetic priorities. The 5247 measured up at 39mm in diameter and showcased fired enamel dials with colorful accents, while the 5287 is significantly larger at 42.5mm and has dials that are all about the mixture of engraving techniques. While there are clear connections between the two watches, they likely appeal to very different tastes. 3 OF 22 Breguet Cal. 533.3 Through The Sapphire Back So,
Patek Philippe videos
Greetings TRF,With the new Patek Philippe section on (thank you again, Steve and the moderators) I thought it would be nice to share some of my favorite videos! Perhaps I don't have as much as Thomas does in his Audemars Piguet thread but keep in mind that I'm always on the hunt for something new so I may come up with some every now and then. Feel free to add yours as well! Birth of a legendTo my son
Rolex Spotting
We were on a short flight from Panama City, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia yesterday.In our section of the plane, of about 6 rows, I spotted 1 yellow gold men's DayDate, 1 ladies stainless DateJust, 1 Daytona, 1 ladies yellow gold DayDate (my wife's), and my BLNR.I don't think I've ever seen that many Rolex outside an AD before.
If you can't beat em, join them!
Well looks like another BLNR to add to this Friday's announcements. Thanks to Patrick(OCRROLEXGUY) for a great trade. Love the touch of color coming from my Polar Exp II.
