just seen the gen has Retrograde second and not power reserve.
Pic on PT had different hand alignement on each picture. Did they made the retrograde second ?!

If the retrograde seconds works im definitely in. Looks great in gold. The little snail cam on the back definitely looks to be rotating, so in theory it should be a retro grade seconds movement. Fingers crossed!

This is brilliant - I think all of us who own the 7057 have a soft spot in our hearts for it, I will definitely be getting the 7097 if it seems up to snuff.

Yeah I really enjoyed the 7057, I may just get this to try it out if the seconds complication works!

The problem was I hardly wore the 7057 because of how small the dial was and I'm a sucker for the date complication.

No video as of yet but I'm optimistic regarding the retrograde seconds - in the puretime photos the seconds do seem to move in subsequent pictures and also the back shows a retrograde gear which would be responsible for the complication so it's another good sign.

There was a post about this watch on reptime on reddit - it's reported to be a true retrograde seconds complication! There are no videos or pricing yet, but trustytime has also put the watch up on their website with some pics. Looks like a similar movement to the last Breguet Tradition

The zf rep seems really good but I'm doubtful about the reliability. If the movement fails I think it's hard to fix it.

Looks very good, centre gear wheel goes in the wrong direction compared to the gen, but I’m still in!
