Like fine art....doesn't get much better than that. And that last rose gold piece That's got Altairs name all over it, much nicer than the XXI RG.

Yeah I saw a few real-life pictures of these on WUS last night, and they are stunning. Breguet need a new marketing tag-line -

I really cannot express how overwhelmed I am by these offerings. But I'll try.

The Marine GMT is sized between the Marine Big Date and Chrono, if memory serves. A perfect size. The dial work is extraordinary. We all know the guts are spectacular. The Tradition has better contrasting metal shades/colors in the visable movement which really sets it off compared to the previous models. I could easily live with no date on one of these. Then the Classique. Wow. Even at 38mm it is a perfect dress watch. The dial machining is perfect...not good or great - PERFECT! The dial design is as well with lots of interest, but nothing will interfere with it's basic function - allowing the wearer to tell time. And now Breguet has taken their 10 Hz (72,000 BPH) movement and put it in one of their classic dress watches.

These guys have the tradition, design excellence AND ability to execute flawlessly. I guarentee my local Breguet guy is happy as hell.

I have seen that 10hz movement at work in the otherwise flawed XX--the smoothness with the sub-second hand was mesmerizing. That Marine lists stainless availability too, with what I still think is the best way to display a second time zone. I'm guessing even in stainless it's pushing 20K, but in comparision with so many things we are seeing, it looks worth the money.

no doubt. The SS Marine Big Date is about $14K as I recall. So this one will be up there even in SS. The Classique will be about $40k, I'm guessing. The Tradition maybe under 35k, but there should be SS option.
