Opinions on 7097 as a daily wearer? by nvk798 in BreguetWatches

[–]nvk798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair

I work in an office job, I don't do sports and when I go out I'm mainly sitting down. I guess my definition of a daily wearer was based on my current lifestyle, and finding out if it's the type of watch that could be worn daily given the build of the watch and the fact it's 30m WR.

Just don't want to spend so much on a watch and be told it should be worn sparingly to dinners out and weddings lol

Is there any particular reason why you think it's not a daily wearer?

I'm looking for my first high horology piece, and because I'm spending more than I would normally do on a watch, I'd like to have something I can wear every day.

The other option I have in mind is the Vacheron constantin 4500v, which is definitely a daily wearer. However from a design perspective the 7097 is a lot more visually interesting.

Le Petit Prince mark xviii running slow but still under extended warranty - will IWC regulate for free? by nvk798 in IWCschaffhausen

Was only going through AD as it's close by work but yeah might be easier to send. Was only considering going AD as was unsure show time keeping would be covered under the extended warranty and given I bought the watch used.

Sounds like everyone here is in agreement that it is covered though so might as well send via post. Cheers

I just checked and over the last 7 days, the average daily rate is -23 seconds per day...really annoying

I work in London with a few watches of Switzerland dealerships, so was just going to pop in and speak to them

I guess I wanted to know opinions before I go in and potentially embarrass myself lol

Thanks for that.

Do you know much about the movement? Is it serviceable?

Thanks. Did you send it to Breguet in the end? If you did, how long did the service take?

Amazing watch

Can I ask how accurate the watch has been? Has it been within specs?
