I didn’t mean to suggest otherwise
I don’t have any experience with the 7727 and haven’t heard about its reliability one way or another. I just find it curious that they did all this innovative work with magnets and we haven’t really heard anything in 7 years. My hope is we do see/hear more soon.

Magnets?
I wonder if their ambition with magnets didn’t play out as well as they would’ve liked. We’ve only seen one production watch with significant magnetic components (7727). Granted, it’s been 7 years, which is probably not long enough to design multiple move...
The 7727 to my knowledge works without issues.
Beautiful on the front, and ingenious from chronometric point of view. I would have probably bought it if the finishing on the back was not so sloppy. I knew someone who pre ordered the 7087 ... So I guess there was pre allocation to dealers and the cance...

I agree - they went into a very interesting direction with the magnets, it will be a pity if it they decided to end such research.
As for the sales - just an observation that ADs were offering massive discounts off retail for both ....
