New Breguet coming in April

Comment on a Chinese forum:

"Is out soon, it is estimated that the first is not cheap, the second is to be improved, so do not worry"

Hoping they are fixing the issues outlined? Again take this with a grain of salt.

The fixes should not be difficult for V2.. again to drive the point .. wider bridges (both) perhaps moved closer PR and closer to dial edge, proper engravings, and reflective PR indicator.. oh.. and the CP is too much!
I will buy a V2 at the listed price no questions asked.. this (well the original 7025) is my dream watch!

I've been in the game for couple of years now. When a new rep is coming out, I have always seen members get overly excited about it only to be disappointed when the factories mess up the details. I learned that I should no longer have any expectations at all. reps will always have flaws, yes some reps are much better than other ones, but as you have noticed, they get better with time, as they get refined, but still have flaws.

Also, I have learned during the passed years that the rep on the wrist is completely different than the rep under a microscope. many members get sucked in zooming on QC pics, that on the wrist, all the small flaws would not be visible. (I'm talking in general here among all reps) My suggestion is not to be wrapped around the microscopic details of a rep, you will always lose interest this way, yes there are few super reps out there, but 95% of the reps are not, including many of mine. I just make peace with the flaws and wear and enjoy the rep to the fullest. Sometimes, I get bugged out by some of the flaws, and I mod them and correct them, sometimes I find it too hard to fix, and end up taking it off and selling it.

My advice to everyone is, come in with the understanding that all reps will have flaws, it is only which flaws that you can live with and which ones that you can not. some members might find the lack of the engraving of the name in the back is a show stopper, others would't care.. I believe you should research the watch, look at it, and look at the gen, and make your own decision on whether the flaws are ok for you personally to live with and look at, or not.

enjoy the reps if you can get over the little flaws, but if you can't get over the flaws, then go ahead and let it go.. most veteran members understand that the rep on the wrist is different than on a bad pic taken by a phone, so you tend to see them doing the catch and release after having the rep on their wrist for few days and realizing it is impossible to live with the flaws, others decide that on the wrist those flaws are so not visible, and keep them and enjoy them in good health.

sorry for the long post, but I thought maybe this would put a bit of prospective on how this hobby works. Again I am speaking on reps in general.

Kind regards,

if i may add one rep that doesnt need any improvement its the JLC Tribute Reverso 1931 from Angus. He 'leaded' that project and it came out beautiful imho

Without a doubt I agree with you @Godfathar
I've been in the game for quite a while now too and I was hoping the factories had finally taken a step up. ZF has proven that they CAN make a very good rep without making those silly mistakes. I thought SF was able to do the same, but as we can clearly see they do not have the same eye for details as ZF has. I'm not looking for a 1:1 rep since I don't think we will ever get one, but they should at least get the spelling and numbers right.

The JLC @Stuvetjee posted is very nice but if if memory serves me right it has 3 BSR on the back rather than 3 BAR. Again, a silly mistake.

 

[ZoomBoy]

So hit the brakes guys. Angus just stated it's the same prototype being passed around to different TDs. I believe the final release will be more true to gen!

 

[Nikohublot]

Okay guys whatever youre doing please stop and send a quick prayer out so that the factory will fix the most of the flaws !

The longer it takes for the watch to show up on our TDs websites, the more confident I get they will address (some of) the issues.
I'm hoping for a better PR indicator, running serial numbers and the correct caseback engravings. If they fix those I'm definitally buying one.
I honestly don't see them changing the bridges but I hope they prove me wrong!

 

[Lirik]

RWG TD just posted it should come out soon

http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=128284

Still the same watch we've seen multiple times

the 3 bsr is so small you need to loupe it lol. if that is the only mistake for a rep that is released in the first V1 im happy.

It's up on dtime (non-TD). They have it at $478, so it's ~$450ish. Holy cow, expensive but not the $1200 that some IG dealer was saying.

They have pics and a vid. Can I link a non-TD?

[ebzen02]

Pass.. for that price I'd rather get one of the breguet tourbillons .. now, if they fix the flaws which are doable then the price is justifiable ..

Biggest PASS ever!

-white PR looks supercheap
-bridge is off
-478$ lol

And this watch is one of my fav of all time

That's the first one I see that doesn't have the 1249 on the dial, so it seems like they've started producing the watches.
As mentioned above, it still has the same issues as the prototype Angus showed us. Rather unfortunate especially taking the price into consideration.
Looking at other prices at 'DTIME' it seems like they're ~50$ more expensive than our TDs. So the price will probably be around 400$.

 

[ZoomBoy]

Price isn't an issue, but having the PR meter messed up still and lack of Breguet engraving on the back of the movement + 7067 model number is a deal breaker for me. Angus sounded like they WERE going to fix the flaws. So no buy from me unless they get rectified.

 

[dave2889]

I'd asked Lucy if they were available yet and she said not yet and hadn't even heard of it. She asked the factory and they told her not released yet.

I'm hoping that's good news. But I really wish they'd stop showing this prototype around then. They're giving the wrong impression of the final release. Different story when Angus shows us a half together watch (ie the Richard Mille skull) - then it's quite obvious it's not a finished watch.

The biggest problem for me is the position of the bridges, I made a quick rep/gen comparison:
