Need to decide.....

Between a 5907 and a 5920.  I've been lurking around here for a while, and this is my first post.  I need help to decide which to purchase.  This will be my first high end watch and I want to make the right decision.  I like the fact that the 5920 shows the date, and the i prefer the look of the dial over the 5907.  However, I like how the 5907 has a sapphire case back with the discreet power reserve indicator.  What are some thoughts?  Also does anyone here know if either of these two come with a deployment clasp?  Thanks for any help!

That I prefer the self winding movement, but i also would not mind the hand - wound movement. Are there any advantages of either in terms of accuracy/reliability??

Just my 2 cents

Personally, I prefer the Breguet 5907. Both the watches you have chosen are similar. They are both very classic and have a small seconds. However, from an aesthetic standpoint, the 5907 is much cleaner looking (without the different "appliques" for each n... 

Decided on the 5920

In white gold. Also upgraded to a deployment clasp (which comes with an additional strap). The original strap, with the tang buckle stayed with Breguet, and they installed the new strap with deployment clasp before they shipped, which saved me a few bucks...

pics, ill try to post a few more when i get a chance. no complaints as of yet, except that the leather strap is very stiff. i am assuming it will take a short while to break it in. the watch sounds and moves great. not that i was anticipating any problems...

Hello, I know you were considering the 5907, which I am considering. You chose the 5920. I am curious why you did not purchase the 5907. Your assistance is appreciated Michael

on the one which spoke to me more. I liked the applique style numerals a bit more and I was able to get a deployment clasp which works great as well. hope that helps. and let me know what u decide.

5907 and 5920

Thank you for the response. How about the size. I know the 5907 is smaller, is it that much smaller? What about the thinness of the 5920? I have not seen a Breguet in person, but plan on making a trip to the east coast sometime in the fall, do you have an...
