Considering getting a Breguet La Tradition 7027 or a Classique lately
some models I looked at. For La Tradition, I am only looking at either the originals yg 7027 or the rg 7027. Alkiro, I blame you for the poison lol.
For the Classique, I am considering the 38mm 5277 (power reserve) or the 39mm Moonphase PR. With the long lugs, a 38mm Classique is probably my max size.
Some pics here I took.
I like the La tradition and I feel it's a watch which honors both Breguet and the late Mr Hayek.
But I am concerned I may get bored with it whereas the Classique is more enduring .
Which will you choose ?
Cheers
Robin

You've probably already considered it, but...
What about the 7277? Granted, its significantly bigger than the 5277 but - the amount of horotechnology inside and plethora of guilloche techniques! Regards, skyeriding
Hello Robin!
I believe the La Tradition 7027 would fit your wrist better at 37mm due to the long Breguet lugs. I like the 5277R a lot but the watch wears big on my wrist no thanks to the lugs. On the movement side of things, the 7027's parachute system is one of the m...
Breguet La Tradition...
Hmm let's see... Hand-guilloched dial, free-sprung balance, overcoil hairspring, hand beveled anglage... All these are similar traits from watches like a Voutilainen or a Philippe Dufour... Robin, I see where you're coming from... ; )
Based on the pieces you already own, and the theme that probably outlines your taste...
I think the last one in your list of pictures would be it. Very Breguet, plus has sufficient complications and balance to the whole watch.
Love the moving mechanism on the Tradition
Fortunate enough to try on this one. Absolutely love the openwork and exposed working balance. But with your MB&F, I'm sure this won't match up against it. Haha I'm sure you'll be happy with any of these beautiful pieces! Cheers! Tony ...
Spoilt for choice here...Breguet has such a solid, distinctive aesthetic
Of those you are considering, I'd probably opt for the second: the gray dial, rose gold La Tradition. A bit more under-the-radar than the yellow gold La Tradition, but no less interesting or distinctive. Cheers, John
5277
I have it in white gold. Its is awesome and you cannot go wrong with it in either shade.
Hehehe Robin ;-)
As I can see you are very close to pull the trigger. Well, you know where my heart goes. Nevertheless, I can understand that the full yellow gold one could question you. About the pink gold model, instead of the one you saw (ref. 7027BR/G9/9V6), I rather ...
All beautiful, but the first one and the last one are the top choices
You can chose whatever color of gold you like for that last dial, but it's perfect and beautiful.
