I flew to Hong Kong for this one
I never bought a watch from Hong Kong, so I was nervous it would turn out to be fake or something. Also I was worried that the tariffs and sales tax would add significantly to the price, so I just decided to fly to HK, verify the watch was what it said it was, and then have a couple days to check out all the other watch stores in the area!
As I mentioned in another comment, Watchfinder US has one in very good condition, and I know they're flexible on price.
New (to me) Breguet Tradition Tourbillon 7047 with Fusee & Chain (7047BR/G9/9ZU)
I purchased what I believe to be new old stock of a 2013 Tradition Tourbillon 7047 with Fusee & Chain. I asked in a separate post about whether I would be able to register it with Breguet as the original owner, and the consensus was that I could. I'm ...
Congrats! I remember the watchmaker's bench/desk box!
How do you like it? I like the watch, but unfortunately, it's too big on my wrist.
It's lighter and smaller than the Freak Cruiser I'm currently double-wristing it with :)
The diameter is quite reasonable, but it does have a bit of height/depth to it. I happen to also be wearing my Freak Cruiser (which I only got a few weeks ago as well), and the 7047 is much lighter. I didn't think I had particularly large wrists, but I gu...
Congrats
One of my favorite pieces. Just had a change to handle one at the Beverly Hills boutique a few months ago and loved it. Seriously underrated. The mini-desk thing is so cool lol
This is a powerful piece, congratulations 🎊
I love that desk box, but this piece has long been a grail. Wear it in best of health.
That’s by far the most original and beautiful watch box ever made
And the watch if ofcourse a piece of art

Really beautiful watch.
I had my eye on one from a dealer, but I snoozed. You snooze you lose. Too bad for me. 😡
There are several on Chrono24 as well as Watchfinder
The cheapest ones on Chrono24 are the yellow gold version, which is not my style, but there are a few of the gray + rose gold ones (like mine) on the lower end of the price spectrum - and they all look like they're in decent condition, many with full box ...
Thanks for the information!
It’s really difficult buying from overseas (I’m in the USA). The last time I bought from overseas, my state sent me a sales tax invoice charging me the sales tax, plus a penalty charge and an interest charge. Apparently US Customs sent them the informatio...
I was worried about that
which is why I flew to Hong Kong and hand carried it back with me
Now that’s a great idea, but
I would still have to get past US Customs and it could potentially cause a problem. Thanks again!
If you were flying from the US, thats a bjg and expensive trip.
Hopefully you made a vacation out if it
Total cost was under $4k I think
I flew economy, which cost about $1k and then spent 3 nights at the Four Seasons ($500/night), but they were running a 3rd night is free campaign so I only paid for 2 nights. Add in incidentals and the total cost was under $4k. Tarrifs + sales tax would h...
Huge congratulations, what a fantastic and amazing watch . Definitely high on my list as a replacement of my normal Tradition .
Can’t get any better imho . And that box is so wonderful 👌🏻😘
