Breguet 7787 vs Breguet 7137
I find this watches so uniquely beautiful. I like them both, but there is adv/disadvantages in my mind:
1) Don't like the criss-crossing hands issue of the 7787
2) Like the distinctive array of the complications of the 7787
3) I think I prefer the Date of the 7137 vs a second hand of the 7787
4) Don't know if I can justify the difference in price with similar complications
5) Power Reserve is higher on the 7137
6) Don't care about the enamel version of the 7787
What do you guys think?

This one is a tough call
Not too keen on the criss cross hands on either watch. I would bite the bullet and go for the sublime Classique Hora Mundi or Reveil Musicale. But if those are stretching the wallet strings, then perhaps the Classique Alarm "Le Reveil du Tsar". But if you...
Thanks Dean
Alarm and time zone complications are already cover on my collection. But it makes complete sense your recommendation of the 7337BA, that full calendar is very appealing. And it's not a stretch (wallet wise) from the 7137. They cost about the same. You lo...
7787
While the date is one of the most useful functions, the style of the 7787 wins it for me. Power reserve is less important given its automatic. This comes down to style, which is a personal matter.
The distinctive array of the complications
is by far the best attribute of the 7787, and probably the main reason to get this watch.
The more I think about it
I would say that it narrows down to either the 7137 or the 7337. The 7137 has the history that links it to the Breguet No 5. I also like the power reserve hanging at 10 position, it's so Breguet, almost like a brand scar. Also comes with the freedom of no...
