thanks! re anglage...
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 noticeably wider and the angles even more extravagant. However I think this Breguet would hold its own against most other independents like FP Journe etc
Just received my long sought after Breguet Tradition 7027
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...
Thanks! And yes its a shame they dont do the movements in gold anymore
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...
Said it before but I think (I'm probably sure) these Tradition are the bargain of the decade
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
Huge congrats!
I completely agree that yellow gold goes beautifully with this timepiece!
Welcome to the La Tradition community. This wacht has tons of independents character, as you said.
Very well done! In yellow gold on a black strap it is a very desirable watch.
Thanks! I do want to investigate some strap changes though
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.
so I got my screwdrivers
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...
A wonderful watch to enjoy.
Beautiful watch and photos. I love the simpler Tradition dial like this one. (I wish I had one.)
beautiful and wonderful watch - wear it in good health
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.

anglage styles
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 ...
I've not seen a dufour in person either!
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...
Huge congratulations, a beautiful NWA . Great choice 👌🏻😘
Still a bit underrated but get more and more attention from collectors nowadays. ...
Big congrats on this addition to your collection. Absolutely agree with…
… 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...
