Here is the entry level Classique 5177, with real hand finishing, and two internal angles.




And here is the last generation Marine 5837, a tourbillon chronograph. Hand finished with internal angles.


Breguet's trade off is that the anglage may be more narrow than other brands, but it's done right, rather than Patek-style machine finishing. It's a personal preference, but I like that things are done right.
