Breguet Tradition

Hi all. Showing off my latest watch, the Breguet Tradition.

It has been upgraded with a new strap, designed and built by my own hand. Have been learning to build straps and this is my very first one. Dark blue Ostrich over Lambswool leather, with another layer of Lambswool in between. A three-ply strap with only the small amount of stitching you can see. Not too bad to start with but work to do on the next one. The Lambswool gives the strap a lovely soft feel on your wrist. I will be building a better one for this watch soon.
Love this watch, close to the original and very good quality.

Thanks for looking.
Kris.

Nice movement.  Can we have a picture with the dial installed?

Yes, is has a working PR, you can view it from the back of the watch too.
