Breguet

I've desired the original yellow gold 7027 for a very long time and I finally managed to get hold of one recently. Took delivery last night and it is completely living up to expectations I'll write up something of a proper review sometime soonish with mor...  

I understand the high tech look of the anthracite coating might have broader appeal whereas looking like an antique pocket watch would cater to more specific tastes. But I think they are missing out by not offering (yellow) gold case + gold movement in th... 

New They start ar 30K I believe and around 40 for their automatic. But looking at theirs second hand price, which i a fraction of that, I honestly think you can NOT buy a more iconic, better finished, more original watch for the price you'll pay

I completely agree that yellow gold goes beautifully with this timepiece!

Very well done! In yellow gold on a black strap it is a very desirable watch.

I want to see if I can *carefully* and safely remove the screw bars and see how it looks with just spring bars and essentially drilled lugs. I think there can be some interesting colour combinations.

If you’re able to remove the screw bars, I’d be curious to hear how it went (technique, screwdriver sizes, etc.) I’m thinking of buying a 7097. Congrats on your watch!

I have some small screwdrivers on order, will see how it goes. 0_0

and was able to remove the securing screw on one side with the 0.5mm head. However the other side was infernally stuck and I couldnt remove the main screw even on the side where I managed to remove the securing screw. I'm not brave enough to force the iss... 

Thanks. I appreciate it! If they give you any guidance as to how they removed it, etc. I'd be interested in knowing. I just placed an order for a 7097!

Beautiful watch and photos. I love the simpler Tradition dial like this one. (I wish I had one.)

...looks like it fits you perfectly.

have to admit I'm not seeing what you're saying about the anglage not being up to what the independents do. Perhaps I don't have the right discerning eye or it's something you see in person that I don't see in the pics. In any case, beautiful.

I think its fantastically well done, really my point which maybe I didnt make well enough is that there are only a few even among the independents who do it noticeably better on a time only watch such as Dufour or Rexhep Rexhepi where the anglage is notic... 

I haven't owned or even seen well enough independents to really judge. Just last week I watched a very nice video at horopedia in which P. Dufour's daughter Daniela was very nicely demonstrating anglage and I was surprised that she indicated a preference ... 

And Im not likely to :P Just going by some excellent photography that's out there for example on Watches by SJX. The vertical profile of the bevel on all the Breguets I've seen is rounded not a straight 45 degree cut, its more subtle than you would see on... 

Still a bit underrated but get more and more attention from collectors nowadays. ...  

… your thoughts on this superb model from Breguet as well as with all positive comments received by our friends along this thread. I had also been dreaming with this watch for a long time and I finally could get mine last year and I felt like touching the...
