I Bought The Biggest Bargain Watch EVER (Did I Make A Mistake?)

[@AndrewMorganWatches]

😂 at the conspiracy comments. Breguet doesn’t even know I exist, and if they did, I’m not sure they’d pay me to buy a discontinued watch from a pre-owned retailer and talk about how bad the depreciation is

[@HauteGemsDallas]

Exactly. Why would Breguet collab with a pre-owned retailer? They wouldn't. And your video pointed out how overpriced the current Breguet model is.

[@aleksandarbrzic8351]

Breguet: you are a man of taste and distinction, that´s it. What I like the most is the fact that they take the solid gold dial and then silver gilt it because they prefer the silver as color. Way to go! Nobody knows it, but the owners do. That is more than enough...

White gold subtly looks better than steel and it takes the polish much better.

For anyone looking at this tradition 7027, I highly recommend you checkout the newer 7057 version as well. I was set on getting this watch but after having both 7027 and 7057 in hand side by side in the store there is no comparison 7057 wins hands down. 7027 dial is just too small to be usable at a glance and I have decent eye sight….7057’s dial is much bigger and you can actually tell time. The main concern with 7057 was that it’s too big due to the straight lug but on my small wrist it fits perfect and the dial is way more eligible than 7027. Definitely checkout both versions in hand before deciding for such a pricey piece. An absolute masterpiece of watchmaking.

[@CaptCanuck4444]

[@Omega30t2RG]

I'm a big fan of well made watch movements and historical relevant brands like breguet. But having a tiny dial this is like buying a large smartphone that only displays a postage stamp size screen. I think they should have put the minute a hour makers on the back of the crystal.

Nice video Andrew, I must admit this is more like what I expected when you started your own channel. Not saying you should buy a watch h every week, that’s just be absurd. But the photography, history and passion that is present. I do enjoy your normal content but this was a highlight!

[@jumboJetPilot]

I absolutely love it! There are a few things I would change about Breguet though. Mainly, the dials. For example, I think that they should only silver plate a dial when that dial is destined for a white metal watch. But leave the gold dials alone to match the case color of those dials that are destined for colored gold cases. Silver dials look just a bit off to me when in colored gold cases but I don’t think the reverse is true. A red gold dial, for example, looks beautiful in a steel or other white metal case. Another thing - and I know a lot of people feel the same way - bring back the last version of the Marine. The current version of the Marine has really lost its design direction. Bring about the last version and with a litany of new dial color options. How about a Marine with an all-powder blue guilloché dial, blued steel dial hardware, and dark blue printing? How about in mint green, or as I previously said - a red gold dial in a steel Marine? And if they bring back the last version of the Marine then a 200M water resistance would be nice. A watch name with a water connotation deserves a case that can actually resist water.

[@WristwatchWorkshop]

Congratulations on the new purchase, its a magnificent piece. I've long thought Breguet are undervalued and underrated because of the historical association, and because that association leads to a design language that seems a bit fussy by today's standards, even compared to others at the same level of watchmaking. With my most boring anorak and hat on: it's difficult to say exactly what Breguet invented. The patent system in France at the time was notoriously lassez-faire, and nowhere near as litigious as the British or American contempararies. There was also no read across, so an American patent would hold no water in France. This created an environment where a canny watchmaker in France who had a bit of money and a desire to impress the nobility to shift more product could patent things for which there were already prior examples. This is one of the reasons that some of the inventions previously attributed to Breguet are now described as patented and popularised instead. The automatic works and the tourbillon and overcoil (by his friendship with John Arnold) are the most well known examples. In summary then, Breguet was undoubtedly an amazing watchmaker, but to a degree because he was standing on the shoulders of other less well-known giants. Also IIRC cocks are only so named in the British tradition of component-naming. Other nations' watchmakers were less smutty (I joke).

Nice. Really nice. But yes definitely not mainstream, very much an enthusiast timepiece. The dial and back is stunning but the time display as you say is really quite small. However I suspect the last thing you care about when wearing this is what the time is. I traded in a few pieces for a 5157. For me it’s one of the best dress watches out there. And nicer than a patrimony, master ultra thin, Saxonia or calatrava. In my opinion. Also that LU chopard you showed in white gold with a micro rotor is a blinder.

[@petychka2]

I was drawn to Breguet some 10 years ago when I knew nothing about watches (except that I liked watches) and I was drawn to the Tradition. it’s what a watch should be. Also, I owe it to Mr. Breguet to buy his watches. But I haven’t. Yes, second hand would be cheap (there’s that relativistic word again), but who would service it (only Breguet) and for how much (I’m guessing: AUD3,500, which would be USD 2,350 in real money)? And second hand, it would nearly certainly need a service. The other thing: is it an everyday watch or will it sit in a safe?
