I more understand ( not accept, but understand ) this literature on Rolex dials, since
Their watches are for a massive market ( between 600 000 to 1, 000 000 watches per year ), but on wathces like this 10 Hz from Breguet, like you, and as you said, I just don't get it.
A no go for me, either.

Browsing at the Breguet Boutique in NYC
Actually, from two different visits! the 7727 in rose gold 5827 in rose gold with the newish gold dial, which I believe will replace the black rhodium dial 5827 in white gold with the well-known and loved blued hands and markers This message has been edit...
Now if, If, IF only...
...they removed that damn 10Hz off the dial... Regards, skyeriding
On the contrary, my dear friend!
They don\'t have enough writing on there. It needs: MANUAL WINDING NO ROTOR 30m WR 18K REAL GOLD Etc... ;-) Best E.
Exactly!
Oh! I forgot they need to say something about Silicium Inside. --- This 10hz dial text is the single element that bugs me about the watch. Aside from that it is lovely, with a fascinating movement. Interestingly, it\'s the element that watch boffins like ...

I would say
try to see it in real life (if you haven't had a chance). On the wrist the 10hz is very minor, much less so than in pictures. Now, it was originally red! That's when we all really flipped out! Breguet at least listened to that and toned it down greatly.
I was fortunate to handle one before in person
While subtle, it's still noticeable especially being on the dial. One of the appeals of Breguet is to just admire all the fine guilloche work, only to be suddenly distracted by an odd font choice printed on. Not to mention if I was an owner - subtle or no...
I have a confession and explanation for my defense of the 7727
I watched ben clymer's little video review of the 7727 (with music by the adorably named Poddington Bear company) before going to sleep one night. The result is that I DREAMED of the 7727 on my wrist, in rose gold. I'm going to try not to buy it. I might ...
this 10Hz Breguet
is really something! A top modern watch with a unusual, maybe unique, balance wheel positioning. A shame it went a little big but again it is a daily wear watch, so it is not that of a problem. The chronos are also cool. Best Moritz
Strange dichotomy
It is interesting that several people focus on the "10HZ" on the dial, yet everyone stays silent when Patek writes things like "Advanced Research" on the dials with silicium hairsprings.
I don't like these mentions on the patek dial either.
Nor I liked the mentions " 205 GTI 16 V Turbo Sport " on the eponymous car. Best, my dear Jeff. Nicolas
I read you could remove it
I read in an article on Monochrome that the 10Hz could be removed. I already emailed them asking more details about this, could change everything! (the paragraph which starts by "Aesthetically speaking") #comment-290606
