It's absolutely stunning. The date is not as obvious in reality - but great once you're over 40! The most amazing thing is the way the light catches the "blued" hands and numerals - fantastic. My Patek is spending more time in the "tumble" and I'm looking forward to seeing how my Breguet handles the wet on holiday. My wife bought me this watch for Christmas. It’s absolutely stunning.

The date is much less obtrusive than on the pic. Not sure about the lugs, though. And, of course, it's somewhat pricey (12K+)for a sports (or sporty) SS watch ... Apart from that, I had the same reaction as Robert-Jan when I saw it: maybe there's more to Brequet than I thought. Like this spectacular XX in titanium with a carbon dial (my wife thinks it's hideous) ... Anyway: very nice blog! Have you seen it in the metal? The date is much less obtrusive than on the pic.

No variation without a date... Pfff, that was luck - I was close to spending a lot of money. ;-) G. I contacted Breguet yesterday; they will just bring this model with large date window.
