Breguet

Hi all, The Breguet Tradition has been on my list for quite some years and I have been waiting for the right time to get it. I am now close to a position to get it and all of a sudden, I am not sure which model to get! I have always liked the yellow gold ... 

I see what you mean. The 7027 is coherent and warm. The original closest to the Breguet’s subscription watches. But if you compare The execution of the retrograde seconds and rotor, then the 7097 is better then the 7037. Chi Kai

I like the purer look, more balanced than the 7037, always IMHO, from my personal experience (which is quite extensive with both models), I'd stay away from the 7037. Sorry, no feedback for the 7097, too new. Vte

Can you please elaborate why you would advocate staying away from the 7037 please? Is there a technical issue? BW, Chi Kai

7027 is the first, and still the best. 7097 seems a bit bigger, BUT those crossing hands and sub dials lessen the readability. Are you going to wear it daily? Is time telling a priority? This watch is as nice as not readable, but it's a love it or leave i... 

All the traditional dials are very small, even in the bigger models. And time telling is arguably not a priority here....... BW, Chi Kai

If they made the 7097 in yellow gold like the 7027, I would take it in a heartbeat. BW, Chi Kai

I knew this would be your choice! I am still torn between the 7027 in yellow gold and the 7097 in rose..... BW, Chi Kai

The proportions are just perfect! IMO, the 40mm versions are not as harmonious as they share the same movement size as the 37mm version, with a curved inner "bassin" to fit in a larger case. A marketing trick if you ask me... Not even mentioning the hand ...  

Good to see it in comparison with another watch of the same size but without a sub-dial. I get what you are saying and half of me agrees! But Still so tough to decide- May visit the boutique again! BW, Chi Kai

Hi, I think the lug width of the 7027 is 20mm. Is that correct? And would any owners of the 7037 and 7097 be kind enough to tell me the lug width of these models too? Thank you very much in advance! The OEM strap will not fit me and to have one made can t... 

7027 in yellow gold. And I could not be happier! It is a stunning watch. Pure and authentic to Breguet in design. Finally achieved after a number of years on my list. The size is perfect and legibility of the time is actually fine. However, most of the ti...
