As promised here are a couple of digital pics showing the rose gold version side by side with the steel version. I picked up my new watch today - I had upgraded from steel to rose gold - and I am one happy camper. It's a big, solid block of rose gold whic...

another question for you (if I may)...

I was wondering what the noise level is like from the two automatic movements? Mine makes such a racket I was convinced it was broken and took it back to the Breguet dealer. There then ensued a mass wrist shaking exercise as we all shook our respective au...
