Ahh, That's One Long Ownership Chain! But perfectly logical!
I once met a man who was the 2nd, 4th, and 6th owner of the same car! His precious Mini Cooper. I told him he was the strangest duck I ever met. He agreed. But when he explained his life situation that necessitated the change in cars, it all made sense. He sold it because he was getting married and needed a bigger car. Then bought it back when he divorced, then sold it when he moved to a city where he couldn't have two cars (the Mini was a second car). Then bought it back when he moved back to the country because he liked it so much. Makes sense. Oh, and he lost money every time he bought it back. Poor fella! I hope you keep this one! You definitely like it! This one's a keeper!

The Breguet Tradition line is hands down my favorite production watch available. I have bought and sold a few of them, and always regret it, so hopefully this stays with me. Previously, I owned the time-only version, but when this was offered to me at a t...
They're lovely pieces indeed! Thank you for the analysis!
Although it's surprising that you keep on buying and selling multiple times. If you're really regretting, then after a while, all this buying and selling has to have another motive or incentive, profits perhaps. That being said, thank you for your wonderf...
Sold original to buy a benzinger, then traded back with the same friend for my gronefeld, then sold to another friend when I put a deposit down on a kari, and then this was offered to me at a great price.
Agreed RE: your comments. I think as a total package though, it's awesome. Especially in the context of the original Souscriptions from Breguet! They really nailed the movement. Only thing that could make this one better is a gold movement instead of WG. ...

LOL amazing
I will sell this one once my Kari arrives, but that's not until 2028. Also maybe if I could upgrade into the chronograph version which is incredible, but they never pop up used much so not sure that will happen. The TB would be nice too with the fusee &am...
On a side note, my Marine is not this well finished on the movement side. Not sure why there is such a big difference by model. Maybe because the Marine is a sportswatch?
Seems like the Tradition > Main line like the alarm > Marine?
Truly a beautiful watch!
I have had my eye on one for a while. Someday for sure! This is a favorite. I've tried it on several times in boutiques. ...
Yes the blue variant is really nice. I set up an alert to be notified when one pops up 2nd hand, but they dont appear to show up often at all.
And its hard for me to justify full retail when the regular tradition is 50% off used
You make a great point: Breguets are incredible values on the used market.
They are as good as any brand out there.
I have always loved these models. Fascinating design and concept.
Unfortunately, I have old eyes, and the tiny but beautiful small dial is a strain. The whole design, though, is amazing. Wear yours in good health.
