Incoming Breguet

This is one of 3 Breguets on my radar that I've been checking for daily and one popped up on C24 last week at the price I had earmarked and went for it. This RG version must be a little rarer than the YG there were quite a few less listed comparatively and always were for quite a bit more so patience paid off.

I've been wearing my WG 7037 a LOT and thought this would be a nice companion for it. I think they make for a nice duo.

Congratulations, great pair!

What’s your wrist size? (I am potentially looking to acquire 7037 but haven’t seen it in person)

Breguet really needs to be sold by Swatch, this brand has so much potential and countless wonderful references. Congrats on this stunning acquisition!

Oh yeah! I'm not usually a big acoustic version fan but anything from Phil and the boys has my attention!

I think i'm around 6.75'' but I have a flatter wrist which seems to work well with a lot of Breguet models. I had the same issue with the 7037 no shot of ever seeing it in person so I just pulled the trigger on it and glad I did.

I hear that a lot and know swatch can do better but also in general for whatever reason collectors who are in the know still just don't pull the trigger on Breguet. It's a strange thing where you constantly see video reviews, articles, posts here or elsewhere raving about the quality and relative value and still all those people sit on their hands when it comes to actually purchasing one. Not sure what it is but I do enjoy it as someone who hopes to add several more over time!

I own a 7037 38mm and my wrist size is just under 7 inches. It's a very nice fit.

Thanks, that’s exactly my wrist size too. Most of my watches are 40mm. I tried on 7057 and it looked pretty big on my wrist.

The 7037 will wear quite a bit nicer than the 7057. I had a 7067 that I could wear but was right on the edge. I loved it til i got my 7037 and then i found myself only reaching for that so I moved it on and now have a tradition duo i like a lot more.
