That's a Hell of a pic, FX!
Impressive Wrist Shot, my friend!
So, what are your thoughts?
You, personaly, would go on it?
Best.
Nicolas
And the Winner is ...
The Breguet Tradtion... Well, there is now one question, as there are 4 Traditions, YG and WG for bthe Automatic Version, and same metals for the Manual Wind... The Automatic Version: A bit bigger ( just one mm ) but very noticeable in reality, with a nic...
Indeed a winner!
Hi Nicolas I have not look at the WG tradition in the way you describe it. I begin to see the nice blue parachute and screws and golden wheels contrasting with the matt silver finishing of the dial. With a blue strap - it will really look sharp on your wr...
Congrats, we'll have to change your name ...
.... to "Dandy" then ... LOL .... "Amanico on the boulevards ... strolling at leisure until his Breguet, ever vigilant, reminds him it is midday." Filip Bimbeano, "PuristsPro", 2008
LOL, But True, Filip
Wearing this Beautiful watch on your wrist makes you immediately think about the H. De Balzac Romans... As for the Dandy, don't know if I really deserve it...LOL It was nice to rediscover it with you! Best. Nicolas
Balzac?-O Nicolas!
Not sure what You mean about Romans,but Balzac talks about Breguet in Eugénie Grandet(and this Charles is everything of a miserable Dandy) and Le Père Goriot,but Filip talks about Russia:Pushkin's Eugene Onegin.... Nobody hopefully "deserves" to be called...
That's what I wanted to say, Lutz
In fact I should have written " Like the Dandy, I don't deserve this watch ".. My English, my friend... I have to congratulate you on your knowledge about " De Balzac "! Best from Kirghistan! Borat.
Borat from Kazakhstan!! I think that this tradition fit perfectly with your green swimsuit
So the automatic Tradition is for me an heresy, the tradition is a prototype of basical manual cheap "montre à souscription" in the time of AL Breguet (end of 17XX years), so the "soucription" is a kind of leasing... I'am sure that you can explain me the ...
My best Nico and congrats!!!!
.... Somehow I was sure: 1. That you will go for the tradition sometime!!! (your previous posts betrayed you!!!) 2. As a real traditionalist (pun intended!!!) that you are I was sure you will go for the manual wind!!!! And last 3. You are a white metal ma...
Best on YG no ?
Hi Amanico : please, think as A.L.Breguet........Have you seen this mainplates, bridges etc. in silver colour in my watches ? nooooo. For me is most accuracy the yellow golden version than the white gold version......but if you feel good with these..........
Pleased to hear…
Dear Nicolas, We have talked on and off about the La Tradition in different metals for some months and I am pleased to hear you have finally made your decision. I agonised over the same things for more than a year and, as you know, came down on the side o...
Dear Nic..
You know what...I think you have the best choice, that confirm my upcoming watch. Is that possible that inform me the price of the watch. Cheers john
I knew it ;0)
I don't even know why I doubt in my 6th sense and put this other 2 Breguet pieces on the guess list + Very happy this is one of my dream pieces but the YG version and definitely the manual wind Congratulations Damian
nicely put Nicolas:-)
Hello Nicolas, I hope it will be what You want it to be once Fine points You mentioned here for the WG version,I never was able to make a conclusive decision between the YG anf WG version,slightly leaning towards the YG one,but the WG is the more contempo...
Nice of course, but...
who asked "why did you put your grandmother's watch in a bigger case and not even in the center ?"
Wow!
I love these watches. I can't wait to hold one in my hands. Thanks for the great pics. -Rigby
