Reply With QuoteI'd love to hear a justification for that. Ultimately though - I blame the customers.
Breguet have gotten back to me with a quote for a SS bracelet for my incoming Breguet. I was expecting it to be a grand at most, but they want £3400. For a SS bracelet. That's £3400.

Yeah, well, this customer ain't paying that much for a bracelet!Originally Posted by monogroover
Sadly that is part of the package with Luxury goods, i would imagine they overcharge for servicing or repairs also
Wow! Are you sure it's not a platinum bracelet with stainless steel plating?
That's a definite "ouch" but it's luxury goods pricing - Birkin bags come to mind.
We need some kind of list to inform prospective buyers of the potential (servicing) costs of these fashion items.
Every watch a story.
I was quoted £1620 for the steel option on the JLC Polaris and declined it. Makes it look a bargain in comparison to the Breguet.
Less than £200 away from a Tudor Black Bay METAS certified master chronometer on oyster!
Their bracelet will be better finished though.
Makes Patek's £1000 rubber strap look cheap!
That’s ridiculous.
So there is a used one on Chrono24 but anyone know what the discolouration on the clasp is? just normal wear & tear? If so, can it be reconditioned/repaired back to original?

Almost looks like wear to a plated surface, which would be a surprise to find out it is a plated base metal on a £3.4k bracelet.

Just looks like metal-on-metal rubbing marks to me, perfectly normal on clasps.
I've never come across this - on a wide selection of watches over 15 years. I'd be right pissed off if that happened on my £3.5k bracelet.
Could it be then that this bracelet is not kosher?
Blancpain charge the best part of £3k for their Fifty Fathoms titanium bracelet, so it’s not just Breguet.
Both owned by the Swatch Group so perhaps no coincidence.
R and D cost..........
