Favorite Breguet Tradition

Looking at picking up a Breguet Tradition model and debating between one of the older 7027 movements or something a little newer. The 7067 has been growing on me but already have a Patek 5110 and a Reverso Dualtime so don’t know if that’s duplicative. But for long term wearers how’s legibility/feel on a Tradition. Thanks!

7037, the second retrograde,is so nice to see.
And while most of the time I prefer manual wind watches, this one is just a bit cooler as an automatic.
Look at the winding rotor, just like it looked on the pocket watch that was the inspiration of the Tradition

My favorite is the 7097.

The dial is a bit larger than the 38 mm and 37 mm models and legibility on the 7097 is fine. I have no problems telling the time. It's 40mm but wears larger due to the thin bezel and lugs, yet is comfortable on the wrist. It's quickly become one of my favorite watches to wear.

This one is my all time favorite. Year ago I didn’t pull the trigger and now I regret my decision

I agree with you that its tough to pick a tradition because frankly they are all gorgeous. I think bruno is spot on. That one has heritage and interest. On top of that its relatively accessible.

i think 7097 is definitely a great one to get; especially with that retrograde second hand :)

I have had my eyes on the 7047 in the secondary market. What will be a fair price for a mint/unworn piece?

Getting new from an AD seems to be very financially unresponsible.

This.

Very hard to pick because they’re all awesome.
