The Messidor is much less expensive
You will be, with the RG Messidor, way less than 100 K Euros.
I don't have the list price with me, but I'm pretty sure that it is way less expensive than the Tradition Tourbillon.
Yes " Chinoise " for us, Frenchies.

Best, my friend.

Chinese, dear Nico?

... You used this description before... What exactly means, in watch terms? I have the perpetual 5327 already ( I do not have any Tradition model, but I also own the YG Marine...), so maybe you are right about covering the models... Your "gout" is towards...
Point taken...

...merci for the clarification of the Chinese (Chinois n'est pas? Ou Chinoise?) So instead of this You propose this (sorry, but you know my preference is towards YG or at least RG...) Your opinion is respected ( I am not exactly crazy about the domed crys...

Also being of Chinese ethnicity (genetics), I am "offended" by the nickname. Actually, I don't give a rat's arse what the nicknames are because I'm not as sensitive or politically correct as the Americans. To the shock of my peers at a British boarding sc...

Chinese art is amongst the very best ever made. One could assume that the nickname came because of the beauty and the symmetry of the watch I highly doubt that the watch was given this name as an offensive or a mockery of the chinese race. China has a lon...
I'd rather have a 7337!

I'm not a fan of the Tradition Tourby, to me it looks odd with the dial and tourby above it which is distracting from looking. The regular La Tradition, well that's a awesome piece! My personal choice would be the 7337! -MW

Dear Tassos, These sorts of deliberations are always fun. I personally would not add a 7337 to your collection: Dress wise they serve the same purpose – they are both formal dress watches. From the perspective of workmanship and finish you have got much t...

Hi Jack, Interesting comments on the plate finishes of the Tradition line. This is apparently produced by a hand sandblasting process on the gold-plated brass, although I have never read or seen much detail on this. It is of course designed to mimic A.-L....
Breguet’s cenotaph?

It’s a date, Jack! Of course no offense taken. If I sounded too sober and serious I didn’t mean to. I wish Montres Breguet would provide more information on the way they finish the tradition bridges and plates. I think it’s a suitable finish for that watc...

Hello Tassos, If the7337 was a perpetual calendar I would be very much tempted change it for mine,but it is'nt... Aesthetics of the 7337 are great for sure. The tourbillon is a remarkable piece but not my cup o' tea cheers, Lutz
