Sorry. I never put it properly. Want to get a classic watch and I have shot listed breguet classic and VC patrimony. Very less discussion on these two brand in the forum therefore need to seek help from expert B or V. Thanks for reading

I have owned both brands but different to the models you are looking for. My biasness is towards Vacheron Constantin. Geneva Seal. Nuff' said.
Your ONLY job in this world is to make sure that you are happy

There's jsut something quite venerable with Brequet. They came up with some really good stuff lately. I think they have more patents develop for the past decade than their competitors.

I'd say Breguet, especially their tourbillons.

Easy as pie - get quotes and counter quotes from the ADs till you're satisfied you've the best deal. I can PM you on the discount I got but that's a poor indication of the one you'll get. Many variables are factored in by the ADs when quoting discounts such as demand and supply including personal standing of, and relationship with, the customer.

Hi there,

based on your selection....i think you are looking for something toward vintage style.

I think it really comes down to what you personal preference is.... A VC off course is always a eye catcher and good conversation among watch collectors and Breguet is a fancy piece especially it is one of the famous brand among royalties....notably the last King of France who got his head set on a Guillotine....(hmmm, wondering if he was wearing a Breguet when that happens).....

As far as for discount, I used to know someone from Cortina Watch who can gives good discounts....for a VC i think xx% should be common. The Brand boutique normally offer less discount....

[no discussion on discount rate - forum mods]

Between the two, I'd go with the VC Patrimony.

I'd go with the Breguet, for its rose engine turned dial. But you already bought it anyway. Starhill? :thumbsup:
