Another Breguet La Tradition

 
 By: ED209 : June 30th, 2014-21:05
On a recent business trip to New York, I was having dinner with a client and we started talking about watches. I've known him for over 15 years and we've become close friends. He was wearing a Rolex Datejust that he received from his parents many years ag...  

Great watch. Great shots.

I see this model pop up occasionally. It's really stunning and your photos capture the many details. Thank you.

Thanks for the compliments

Hi ingmar, thanks for the compliments. Which version of the La Tradition do you like most? Regards, ED-209

You did well, my friend. Great advice.

Definitely my favourite Breguet from the current collection. As for knowing if we ever helped a friend, WIS or not, in the Watch decision, well, I would answer that this is also one of the many goals of this forum! :) Best, Ed. Nicolas.

Great choice, perfect advice... Superb timepiece, needless to say.. :)

Hi Nicolas, I'm sure there's many PuristS who have received excellent advice from you on JLC and other brands :) . It's rewarding to hear about how much my friend is enjoying his watch and to share in spreading the passion for our timepieces. Regards, ED-... 

I liked the idea of several versions ...

in the beginning, but in the long run I prefer the original/"real" one in YG. Your client is lucky to have such a good friend, which is ready to help but not manipulating. Congrats to your client/friend! Maybe he is looking right now and even better he wi... 

I hope so too

Sharing the passion of this hobby with others is IMO what ThePurists is all about. Your client is lucky to have a friend such as you. Cheers, John

Thanks John!

I have a friend who jumped into a Cartier and Rolex as soon as he began work with a high end company. Nice brands of course, but he got them for their names. Now he has become increasingly interested in my "lesser known" brand watches (even my Carl F. Buc...
