First Breguet (& First Post!)

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-02:25
Hi everyone, After months of researching Breguet (and lusting after a Tradition), I finally acquired a lovely 7027BR. This is my first “heavy hitter” of any sort, and I am already totally enamored. Really a special piece, I’m so glad to have it on my wris...  

Lovely choice.

Thank You :)

Comin' in hot!

Couldn’t agree more! Looking forward to bonding over the coming weeks and months (and, hopefully, years!)

Thanks so much!

Wonderful watch you have here. I hope to see more of it and I also hope you enjoy it very much.

Keep your eyes peeled!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-05:13
I can assure you that I intend to deliver on both counts! Certainly not the last you’ll be seeing of my Tradition (*French accent and emphasis* added, of course)

Welcome!

 
 By: NautNut : February 19th, 2024-04:11
A great watch to first post. Looking forward to many more.

Thank you!

Looking forward to joining the community

Great choice

 
 By: m2 : February 19th, 2024-05:38
You can’t do better for the $. It looks great in rose gold like that!

Totally agree!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-07:08
Unbelievable value imo. So special and so underrated (if not entirely understated in rose, hahah)

Welcome and congrats with this beautiful Breguet.

 
 By: ChetBaker : February 19th, 2024-06:36
I have a wg 7027 incoming soon too.

Thank you!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-07:09
I hope you enjoy the Tradition as much as I have. It’s really fantastic, looking forward to seeing some pictures soon!

Great choice for a first "heavy hitter". 👍

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : February 19th, 2024-07:31
Goid to see that a La Tradition has got such a high stand in your view of a serious watch. And what a serious watch it is!

Thank you!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-10:59
I am well aware there are far “heavier hitters” out there (if I may hahah), but this has been a wonderful first foray into the world of haute horlogerie. Looking forward to learning more and, hopefully, trying out some really heavy hitters down the line ... 

Fantastic watch

 
 By: Bruno.M1 : February 19th, 2024-07:58
Enjoy it !!

I’m glad you agree 😁

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-11:00
I will most definitely enjoy it as much as I can

Thank you for the warm welcome and the kind words!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-11:01
Couldn’t agree with you more, really just stunning.

Yes!

 
 By: amanico : February 19th, 2024-16:32

Thats one beautiful Breguet. Still underrated imho .

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : February 19th, 2024-08:20
Huge congratulations. Excellent choice. ...  

Likewise!!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-11:08
Ditto to what you said, it’s incredible to me that it’s still so under the radar. Also just wanted to note: I actually wanted to go for a white gold 7027 for months (and the white dial variant in particular) before a rose example came my way. The BB refer...  

Glad you feel the same way!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-16:05
Absolutely in love with it already, looking forward to what’s in store 😁

Welcome. This red gold Tradition with black dial and black strap looks terrific.

 
 By: hora12reborn : February 19th, 2024-13:07
Congratulations and wear in good health.

Thank you very much!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-16:06
I agree wholeheartedly, thanks for the well-wishes and kind words 😁

The coolest modern Breguet in my mind.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : February 19th, 2024-13:44
And I’ve thought that since I saw the first one a long time ago. Congrats, I feel the excitement. Enjoy it, and please share more photos and thoughts as the months pass.

I am in total agreement!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-16:09
The 7027 was really the impetus for the open-work watches that are a staple of most modern indies, and within Breguet’s catalogue (particularly post-Roth) it really stands out. I will gladly pass along more photos and thoughts in the weeks and months ahea... 

Unfortunately I am just the Texas Timex in name alone 😋

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 20th, 2024-03:13
Solid gold Tradition is my Texas Timex, I guess! 🤣

😂

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : February 20th, 2024-12:48

 By: Derreck : February 20th, 2024-10:36
Last week finally I had the chance to see a Tradition in metal and it was something to behold. One of the finest watches of our time.

Thank you!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 20th, 2024-11:11
This is actually the first Breguet, let alone Tradition, I’ve seen in the metal… 😅 took a chance, and I am so glad I did! I agree, it really is a special piece and, I hope, potentially a future classic. Who knows? 🤷🏻‍♂️ even if it never gets popular, I co... 

Bravo my friend

 
 By: Derreck : February 20th, 2024-11:15
I feel that’s the most important aspect for us.

Totally!

 
 By: _thetexastimex_ : February 20th, 2024-11:17
This is a fun, interesting watch, and I intend to have fun with it!
