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 references look so, so good, and that strap you have is just perfect! Hope I can find an equally nice pairing myself 😋 cheers!

First Breguet (& First Post!)
By: _thetexastimex_ : February 19th, 2024-02:25
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 wris...
Lovely choice.

A warm welcome, and sincere wishes for long term enjoyment! Cheers, Filip
Thank You :)

Comin' in hot!

Thank you very much!

Many, many thanks! I appreciate it

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!

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...

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!! :)

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!
