Breguet Tradition 7037 - A dream come true

For over a decade, I have saved up to purchase a dream watch...the Breguet Tradition 7037 in white gold (the First Automatic Tradition ever + retrograde seconds hand). Discontinued for a decade or so, the 7037 in white gold has become quite hard to find. I stumbled upon one recently and pulled the trigger in perfect condition. I love the entire Tradition line but I just love the balance of this dial and the relatively low-key seconds hand compared to the newer ones like the 7097 and 7597. You are literally looking at the history of watch making in 1 view including notable Breguet's inventions like the Pare-chute and the Balance Springs (don't forget, many Rolexes even use Breguet's overcoils). The blue steeled hands and screws add an intrinsic quality of industrial luxury. I understand the Tradition is not everyone's cup of tea but I'm in awe and want to wear it daily. Also, I am a fan of smaller watches, at 38mm it's the perfect fit.
