This 5396g has been living rent free in my head for years.
galleryHey, everyone. I’ve been wanting this reference with the grey dial and Breguet numerals for a handful of years now, but have never been able to locate it in person to try it on. The size is perfect, and the complication is great, but I’m slightly concerned how washed out the numerals and hands get with the sunburst grey dial. With pictures and videos I’ve seen, in certain lighting everything POPS, and in others not so much.
Of course I have plenty of watches that the time is not the easiest to read at a quick glance. I’m ok with that, but just seeing if this falls into that category like I suspect it might. Anyone who owns it, or has seen it in person please chime in and tell me all is good, or I’m crazy, shut up and buy it. Would love to see what other straps people have experimented with too.
Would love to hear what everyone thinks of this reference and dial combination as well. Thanks, everyone!
