Oui! Merci Nico.. Ca faisait un petit moment! I am happy to wear it today, these Breguet classique, guilloché dials, always moves me. And with the rain outside, it's a perfect day to enjoy it and look at it.
At home weathering a super typhoon, while admiring Breguet.
Breguet, and a cup of Chinese tea, watching the raging sea... ...
Yes, perfect day...
Pulled a few others, and setting the time, winding the mechanism, and lessening to the mouvement, just simple joy, that take us a long way.. 😀
Alishan tea is good, this was a dong pien green tea from lugu/Ali Shan in fact
I also love eastern beauty tea/dong fang mei ren, and soo many others.. I drink green, red, black, bai, all kinds.. I always enjoy making it too... ...
You like our tea!
I generally prefer green teas and sometimes red teas. But the lighter fermentation is my go to. So mostly green teas for me. Lovely collection of teas! I like Eastern Beauty as well!
I take it that you are Taiwanese 🇹🇼, I love the tea, the food, the culture, the poeple, the island.
Taiwan has played a very big part in my life and my heart since 1992.
Oops. I meant to type "You like your tea!"
I don't think I qualify - but I've been to Taiwan many times. A lovely place indeed! After trying many of the teas all around the world, I still seem to come back to Taiwan Oolong teas.
I understand, I especially enjoy the while tea ceremony..
And it's very much like wines to me... It's something that you also like to share socially.
I agree. A lot of details similar to wine.
I do enjoy tea socially! Sometimes even more than wine!
Le thé, toi aussi? Ah, c'est drole.. Tea or wine?
I love both, with a preference for wine of course. Ahahaah!!
Bourgognes of course, small production
I am more Bordeaux, they travel better, are less sensitive to temperature variations as long as you keep them in dark places, especially here, in asia. But a good bourgogne is heavenly.
Love the guilloché on this dial!
Choosing between the guilloché and the grand feu was very hard... Both are fantastic. (I wound up going for the grand feu because it seemed the harder watch to come by at the time.) ...
Somewhat true of Breguet in general, I think.
Works for me when I'm trying to acquire something. ;-)
Yes, it's funny that they don't hold their value, yet they are such well made pieces.
It's good for collectors, at least we can enjoy even more, and take advantage of the bargains to buy pieces that otherwise we may not even consider.
My thoughts too. To think a relatively rare
Reveil du Tsar is less than half the price of a mass produced Daytona on the secondary market is crazy…
I traded a root beer Gmt for my reveil du Tzar in a heart beat!
That was like 3 or 4 years ago, and I never looked back.. I bought the root beer in UK when you could still avail tax refund, so, I can just say that my 5707 came at a real bargain price for such a watch. ...
I know your feeling! The grand feu is wonderful too...
I somewhat prefer the white gold with guilloché as I find it easier to wear with my life style. But the grand feu is more unique.
