    I’m fascinated by watches with guilloche dials - anyone own something cool?

    I particularly like the Orient Sun and Moon and Tissot Le Locle - what other watches look nice?

    That is beautiful, I love it! There are some Chinese / Sea-Gull movement watches with sapphire crystals for around the same price.

    I'd love a Longines given the story of my father giving his away. I guess simply because they "got away" I want one LOL. And I'm really digging the vintage thing, so I'll check that out.

    Yeah, this is kind of their specialty. Good values used as they tend to depreciate but Breguet is one of my favorite brands.

    Some of my favorite watches are from Breguet. I wish I could afford one, but there are some interesting "homage" watches from Tissot, Frederique Constant, Raymond Weil, etc. that I'd consider. It will never be a Breguet, since that's actually hand turned, most of these other watches are stamped.

    A 4154 or 7147 with small seconds are aces to me!

    how has the watch held up? I’ve heard Breguet service is lengthy and expensive compared to others. Has this been your experience?

    Hi Hawkeye. I have had no problem in 15 years. Love it everyday. People just can't believe the dial and how great it looks. It gets way more attention by watch people than my Patek's ... I just send it to
    European watch in Boston for a tune up. As there are no broken parts, most of these high end watch places can work on it. Just a couple of weeks and it comes back in great shape. $400 at most.
