Breguet 5177 Photo review (gifs!)

[ZoomBoy]

They have these on inTime now. I still want the gen!

I've waffled if I am going to get the new MP version that is gen-like thinness (9mm vs 8.3ish). The major issue is the dial font is much too bold, on the numerals and the Breguet logo. The gen has a fine point and the FK factory v2 seems to have the fineness down much better. The only issue is that it is 9.7mm thick, but I've decided the extra 0.7mm is worth a correct looking dial.

And another

FK is better. Let's see if they would have a v3 to correct the thickness and make it perfect.

The MK is far superior considering the gen like thickness
Will place an order and share the pics

Agreed - but the main issue is: too bold font on the Arabic numeral dial, and non-metallic date wheel on the guilloche silver dials.

Regardless... I am leaning towards getting the guilloche silver dial in rose gold to compare to FK Factory.

The datewheel is accurate considering the gen has both metallic and non-metallic datewheel

The enamel dial has a white date wheel with black font and the guilloche dials have the metallic date wheel with blue font.

All 3 versions of the MK Factory have a white date wheel with black font, which is only correct on the enamel dial.

So the enamel dial is the way to go if you want an accurate 5177

I still wouldn't get the MK factory version enamel dial. The font is WAY too bold to be comfortable. I'm still going with FK Factory v2. And it looks like there are DWO alignment issues with MKF too.

The font is slightly noticeable meanwhile the thickness is what stands out the most

The pics I've found are metallic wheel. However, after much looking... I'm leaning now towards the thin MK version. Argh. Decisions Decisions. Nothing is perfect!

Metallic wheel but black font, still, it will not be noticeablw when on wrist
The MK guilloche dial is very accurate apart from the metal datewheel
Its the way to go imho

I have a confession.... I just purchased the FK Factory v2 enamel dial from @China Tim Tim haha. I'll take the thickness for the tradeoff of everything else being spot on. The hands, the dial, the fonts. This pic just made me a believer - check out the minute markers, and especially the 5 minute markers. The detail is so much more fine, and the thickness of th eMK Factory dial would bother me. Having owned another FK version, the person clearly is passionate about making a good Breguet rep, so I am going to trust them a bit more than MKF:

FK should really do the FA Jones enamel Dial. Ugh.

I found this too - The FK version also has the raised Breguet hidden logo above 6 o clock. Oh man. I'm sold.

FK is really stepping up! I am starting to see more than an abbreviated expletive when I see the factory name.
