My thoughts......

I agree with the movement to case ratio, this movement should be in a 40mm watch, and nothing larger.
The biggest issue I have is based on experience. I had the previous Type XXI in titanium, with the really cool applied steel or Ti numerals. I got rid of it for one reason: the poorly made bezel. The bezel background (black) almost seems to be spray painted on, and was uneven in its color. You can see it these pictures too, same bezel. Also, the titanium numerals in the bezel were poorly cast and sloppy; certainly not Breguet standards. They should have found a way to have it CNC machined or better yet, laser ablated like Omega is doing with one of the Seamaster 300 titanium bezels; very crisp numerals.
So really, in my honest assessment, these new Ti models are a total mess in my eyes. Sorry to sound harsh, but Breguet is better than this, and they should show it since they're a premium brand in the Swatch group
