First Breguet (& First Post!)
Feb 19, 2024,02:25 AM
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 wrist to marvel at and enjoy.
Looking forward to digging deeper into the Breguet world with you all. Hope you enjoy the pictures below. Cheers!

Thank you very 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)
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 ...
I’m glad you agree 😁
By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-11:00
I will most definitely enjoy it as much as I can
Yes!
By: amanico : February 19th, 2024-16:32
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 😁
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...

Quite the entry.

By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-16:11
Trust me, I am (unfortunately) well aware… But such is the nature of this hobby/disease, right?! Just going to enjoy the ride
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-16:11
Hopefully more dingers ahead
Much appreciated!! :)
By: _thetexastimex_ : February 20th, 2024-03:02
Glad to be here (and glad that you share my sentiment about the Tradition, what a special piece 😁 I am most definitely very lucky). Cheers 🍻
Well, if you say so!
By: _thetexastimex_ : February 20th, 2024-11:07
And thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
What a fine piece, congrats!
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!
