Thanks for all your responses, guys.
Now, if you could just hook me up with a LNIB pre-owned XX, that would be just great. The one I thought I had got away.
Regards,
Rich

First post here! Looking at the Transatlantique XX
By: DrRichard : April 10th, 2009-18:12
Hi - Glad I found this site - it's really great. I'm thinking of picking up a pre-owned Type XX in the next few days. I've never owned a Breguet before, but I'm drawn to the XX. Can you owners of the watch please tell me your opinions of it? The pro's/con...

I hope you enjoy your stay here and please make yourself at home here! I've worn my wife's Transatlantique XX many times, and it's a nice versatile watch - can be both dressy and sporty while on the stock brown OEM croc strap. If you're used to larger wat...
Thank you, Anthony -

for the warm welcome and the excellent information. I'm also wondering about the strap vs. bracelet. By the way, your pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Regards, Rich
If you want a bracelet version
By: AnthonyTsai : April 10th, 2009-19:42
you should buy the bracelet version because, in general, it will cost you more money if you buy the strap version and then buy a separate bracelet. Never worn or handled the bracelet for the Transatlantique so can't give you any opinions on it. Thanks for...
beautiful watch

It is a beautiful and classic watch- I used to own one but trade it as I found it to be small on my wrist. Bear in mind that it gives an impression of a thick watch for its size with its doomed crystal. Having said that it is a beautiful watch, used to ge...
I know but...

more than the size
By: MiniCooper : April 13th, 2009-16:05
Type XX is a copy of a model made in the fifties/sixties while type XXI is a new version with a flyback function They are similar in style but, at the same time quite different. type XXI has a chocolate dial vs the classic black dial of the type XX. Try c...
XX

Anthony is right in saying that you should make up your mind first, what you prefer, bracelet or strap/buckle. I have both, but actually only use the bracelet. Compared to Rolex bracelets I must say that the XX bracelet is very well designed and finished,...

Welcome here. I'm sure that you will have fun, and interesting things ot share, here. As for the Type XX, this is a watch to consider, indeed. With or without date, it doesn't matter. A Type XX is a blend of sporty and elegant watch. And much more origina...
