Escaped with a 2.55 ?
Hi Andrew
Did not get a decent side by side, as the clients strolled in shortly after I shot the blue MoP.
I prefer the blue MoP, as I like blue, but seriously, the blue MoP has better contrast and more interesting iridescence.
Check this out again or prepared to give a 7071R ... the Chanel ( a 2.55? ) is just a temporary decoy

Reine De Naples Steel 8967ST
Recently two pieces of the steel Reine De Naples Steel 8967ST arrived in Singapore. Per the earlier press release , the white mother-of-pearl dial was featured. Adding to the excitement, a bluish mother-of-pearl dial is included to this new steel "egg-sha...
This watch bothered me a lot.
I travelled out from my country to see it in metal and indeed, it is a beauty. Furthermore, I liked most the blue dial because of the contast of the dial and the metal. BUT: the watch is too BIG. I needed a watch for a slim feminine wrist and from the pas...
I look forward to the unveiling at IGOTT, Kari.
You have good and thoughtful taste, so I am sure it will be something interesting. Andrew
Awaiting to see the surprise!
Hi Kari The width is alright except for the lug to lug distance which may just move the watch away from some slim wrists (quite a number in Asia). Will be awaiting to see what you've purchased Kong
wow...nice
originally i didn't quite like the rather large size numerals, but these macro shots r simply breathtaking cheers, ed~
Seen it in steel?
Hi Ed It is a nice piece with 'ingredient'. Have you seen in steel? If not check it out and surprise the Lady Kong
really like the pearl dial
hi kong, i havn't seen it in steel yet, but would certainly make visit to AD under radar first, haha cheers, Ed~
Expected arrival
Thank u for the pics n infos on the much awaited piece. Been waiting for the arrival of the real piece since seeing the prototype quite awhile ago. It is a beautiful piece which has all my preferences which summarize into : - first Reine de Naples for lad...
Alas your dream piece :-)
Thanks for dropping by and placing your inputs. Congrats on the Blue MoP! Kong
Thank u , Kong
The blue MoP is a very versatile piece which accompanies me from day to nite ; from jeans n tees to dress , instantly! I like the gleaming look of the MoP under the light in different angle, too. The curved dial is clever in making that happens. The other...
Well said !
You are summarised the essence of the piece. Glad to hear from the first Lady who purchased it in SG. Kong
It is always good
To share passion n enthusiasm with likeminded people around so it is my pleasure , Kong , and thanks ! There is joy n excitement in sharing ! (",) Linda
I had a great reaction to this watch when it was first announced...
...and it is one Breguet that continues to intrigue and entice. I like the almost trendy larger numerals and case. The movement's rotor looks luxurious and I appreciate the nod to technology. IMO the blue dial is the desirable model. I don't often find my...
Seriously...
Hi Daos Check this piece out when arrives at your location. The one piece with a complete package. Kong
I - love - this watch
hope we will get it in Germany soon. The blue dial is the one for me - oops, I mean for my wife. Best Andreas
Ok, since you blurted :-)
Hi Andreas If the lug is designed to be more masculine, it could be for the gentleman Hope you could see it soon. Thanks for viewing. Kong
I seriously considered this Queen of Naples ...
Thanks Kong, very timely reporting. The steel Reine de Naples was seriously on my radar for my wife, who expressed an interest in a new watch ( possibly a Patek ) last year. While in Singapore I took the opportunity to have a closer look. The blue-dialled...
Postscript …
Unfortunately my wife wasn’t with me on the Breguet Boutique visit, and the size concerned me sufficiently that I wanted her to try it on before committing. Fortunately the Chanel Boutique was conveniently close, so I did find something to bring back home...

Paid and waiting
My wife paid and waited for this watch nine months ago. She is still waiting for it to arrive inThailand.
These were the only two ...
... in Singapore, so let's hope yours is close. Which dial did you choose? Please post some photos and wrist shots when it arrives. Andrew
Only ...
Hi Icyremy Only two arrived here recently and the blue MoP was gone really early. Which dial did your wife order? Really nice piece! Please let us know when you receive it. Kong
Mop grey dial
Dear Kong, My wife paid and ordered the grey dial. She and I bought watches at the Basel Fair Bangkok, Swatch group called it this way. So far Breguet head man said he only delivered the blue dial to his authorize dealer, but he has not received the grey ...
Looking forward ...
to your wife and you receiving the Grey MoP Steel Queen soon. Thanks Icyremy. Kong
Lovely....
I always think the Queen of Naples is the most elegant ladies watch...especially the first version with moonphase and power reserve... Prayers with Japan....
Indeed ...
Hi Jacky This steel piece has stretched the "mileage" of the elegant Queen of Naples. Now it could be a day and night piece. Yes, prayers with Japan. Kong
Breguet Reine De Naples
Wonderful review Kong. I really like this watch and was a contender for my fiance as her first Breguet but I find the size too big (at least on specs). I'll have to drop by my local Breguet AD to see it in person but I wish it was smaller. I do love the d...
Howdy Ed !
Nice to read u here ! Your concern over the big size is understandable cos my wrist is rather bigger than usual lady's wrist hence the piece fits my wrist perfectly lug to lug. I guess I belong to the big boned species ! Lol Nevertheless , do give the " q...
Hi Linda! You wrist looks lovely and...
Hi Linda, Not big at all Hope you are doing well. Thanks for your thoughts and good advice about trying to see one in person. I'll have to take my fiance to join me at the watch store to try one on. She's very happy wearing her Chopard Happy Diamonds but ...
Very nice of u to think
Of getting a Breguet for your fiancé . She's blessed with a generous n loving man ! U r right also that the " queen " is not exactly " big ". I just did a special project for u n fiancé during lunch time. Boy oh boy, I need to skip dinner for th...
Hopefully Breguet is considering the same input/observation ...
from a few of us here, about reducing the lug to lug dimension to suit smaller wrists. Have a look in steel with your fiance, Ed. Beware! Kong
Project Ed
The project is about to start @ No Menu Restaurant My precious "queen" and ever sinful Lardo (aka pure lard) So, Ed, as u can see the queen is kinda perching on the throne lug to lug. What do u think? The project moves on to Prawn Salad with Portofino Sau...
How can I mend 2 broken hearts?

Project Ed is phenomenal!
Wow Linda! Thank you so much for such a wonderful post. The watches are beautiful, the photos excellent and the food delicious looking. Now I've really got to bring my fiance to the Breguet AD to check it out in person. And I agree with you, one of my mos...
And I shall rest
Assured, Ed, that in near future I will hear some good news from u about it Thank u for your kind words, Ed. It is my pleasure to do Project Ed and to share the passion I have for these 2 particulars pieces. I read the other thread where u shared your pas...
I love this post, Linda ...
Thanks very much for sharing dinner with is. I love both your choices in Breguet. And I hope my wife loves the new Queen of Naples too. I suspect it is going to be too large for her, but I can only try. You made the best choice out of the two dial options...
Hi there Andrew
The love for this post is mutual. Thank u for your kind words. Thank u to Breguet for a beautiful watch it created. Thank u to Kong for the initial post . I'm mostly contented with what I have n each timepiece acquired has its own story. The La Tradition ...
don't let my wife see it :)
Hi Linda Thanks for the great info and wonderful in depth review. Your taste and preference are exactly like my wife: simple lines, no frills, no diamonds, curves over straight lines and this Rene De Naples is the perfect case for modern ladies. Breguet h...
Hi Ivan
