I just saw this thing at the Bahrain jewelry exhibit, took my breath away! Just unbelievable workmanship!

http://www.watcheshow.org/new-marine-ro ... -2010.html

the alarm sounds fantastic as well! Patek shmatek this is my new grail!

I have seen pictures of the watch before and although nice did not catch my interest, but in real live the thing is nothing short of spectacular! The fit and finish is just SUPERB!!!

The blue accents against the finely decorated silver dial are absolutely mesmerizing! at 30K quite expensive, but i can see forgoing two of my next acquisitions for it quite easily.

It's a gorgeous piece isn't it.

Certainly not cheap, but for what you get it is great value for money, if you can say that at this price point. If you are going to forego the next couple of pieces for it I guess that we'll see it in September? :poke: :wink:

:lol: hey cmon I haven't bought THAT many watches this year, he said while covering up the JLC Navy Seals Alarm he just picked up.


In all seriousness, Although I have bought quite a number recentely, I have been selling the ones I am not crazy over, and for every one of these watches since April I ave sold 2-3

As for this piece, is is a heavy contender for the 2011 "The One"

I actually do agree that the watch is excellent value, compared to others in its class it has the lowest price point. Still allot of money thoguh!

It is unbelievable, I love the "black Titanium" bezel, and every strap option is fantastic! So hard to choose!

Pics and a short review to come soon.

Very nice the Breguet! Cost-wise :cry:

Congratulations too on the JLC Navy Seals. That is an incredible watch and one that I definitely want to try in person. Looking forward to the review.

What a year!

That is an amazing watch! I hope you get it. Does the bracelet have any white gold in it?

Sorry Ahmed, that one just doesnt do anything for me. I would take your JLC Master Compressor Alarm over that Breguet anyday. That being said there are a few Breguets that I like a lot... just not this one. Keep the Patek on the list!

I suppose it would be pretty boring if we all liked the same things eh Bronco?

The Patek is fantastic! But unfortunately it is just not my size. I have to say the fit of the Breguet was better to my taste and it is just as well made as a Patek. It combines what I like about Breitling, Patek, and Panerai all into one amazing watch.
