Breguet

Hi Jack,

 

It took a while, but yes, I did get the La Tradition. Now for that other promise I made to myself 4 years ago … the Journe Tourbillon.  I never break a commitment, so stay tuned!!  But please note that due to circumstances outside of my control (my sensible wife and my serious bank manager) there may be a short delay...

 

I have followed with interest your posts on the accuracy of the Marine 5817. It appears that the La Tradition shares those same family traits, which is very pleasing. You have a 5207 and 5707 as well, do they perform to the same level or have we been lucky?

 

Thanks again for your kind words

 

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

The 5207 runs out at about 3 seconds per day error, the 5707 at about 5 seconds per day, my Daytona was pretyy good at around 2 seconds per day and the other very accurate watch was the Brietling Seawolf  Avenger which showed around a second per day.

Kind Regards,

Jack

Hi Ahd,

Thanks for asking. I note that you started a new thread above which is what I was going to suggest, so I will reply above.

the La Tradition at the local dealer's window in South Africa I thought, "my God, what an ugly watch".

A couple of leisurely strolls later I can't stop thinking about the watch - it has really grown on me.

So congrats - it sure is something special

.. she is a gorgeous piece and contains so much history. I am wearing the La Tradition again as I type this and I still marvel at the stepped bridges and blued screws and the depth of the movement. It has been 3 years and it's about time I wrote a follow-up perspective piece.

Stay tuned ...

Andrew
