Hah ;-) a lot of questions...

... let me provide some answers:
Wearability is like with any other Type XX, just comfortable, good size, a little top heavy in gold, since it has some considerable weight.
I find it more on the casual side, especially with the orange/brown strap. The nice thing is, even being rose gold, it does not look all too precious, if you know what I mean, it still has it's sporty character.
Drawbacks? Not for me, but some might find two aspects of the movement not up to date: the calibre 582 does not hack, so setting the time correctly needs some more work, and the rotor sound is a bit loud when accelerated quickly. Actually for some reason it's louder in the gold versions than in the steel ones.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this watch, otherwise I would not have collected quite a bunch of them - and looking forward to hopefully adding a few more ;-) especially the 3827 or the 3820 in white gold with either blue, slate or silver face are on my shortlist.
Another element that is worth mentioning: with the Type XX you have a watch that does not necessarily has to be serviced at Breguet. As much as I do not have any doubt a Breguet service is absolutely top notch, it's still nice to have alternatives.
Hope these thoughts help.
Cheers
