I have not seen it in person, but it does look like a more desirable version than the previous XXI. I agree that the bezel doesn't look quite right though. I'm not sure if it is too steep or too thin, but it does look a little odd.

What's the retail on this one Serge??

No clue but my best guesstimate would be between around $11,500.

That 42mm wears larger, too. I didn't see one in either NYC boutique when I visited the City. Black dial is a huge plus, the dial depths are part of the appeal and the chrono complication I loved on my old XXI. I'd be curious to see how the titanium works on that, since it really is a sports watch at heart. With all the detail and traditional Breguet case styling, the XXI steel was still a bit ornate for a sport watch. Would miss the bluish-lumed numbers, but the metal arabics looks clean and I always loved the lug shape.

If you do get the chance, wind one of these. The feel and the sound are something you'll remember. Need to see one.
