No date, no complications, time only watches. Post your pics or faves here!
Hey all, after 3 decades of watch ownership I've realized that my favorites have been the simple, time only watches. I currently have a Sub 14060 as my beater. Looking to expand my collection (and get rid of my other watches with complications) so I'm open to suggestions for other simple watches.

Post yours or your favorites here if you have them.

Can’t get any simpler than the Date Only. Who really cares what time it is anyway?

Why the sad-sack avatar when you own a gorgeous watch like that? Turn that frown upside down. Life is good!

Many thanks! I think it might be my favorite dial I've ever seen in person (including the CB). The color is very dynamic and the fume gradient is executed perfectly.

Every once and a while I'll smile...but then I frown knowing there are so many more fume dial colors that I don't own.

I also like a time only watch. Something about the simplicity and look of the dial.

How do you like your 7027 ?
I've been thinking of getting one and I'm on the fence.

You should get one! The Tradition line best represent Breguet, IMO. It is 38mm, measured bezel to bezel, not 37mm as advertised (they probably measure the coin edge case.) Wears very well. It is also well-priced on the pre-own market. A lot of watch for the money (relatively). The only potential drawback: dial is small. I still have good eye sight :-) and therefore it is a non-issue for me.

Then there is all the details about the Breguet signature design elements in this watch, from the star wheels to the shock absorber to the frosted dial/movement plate
