Maybe not the master of lugs though, as their generally very straight lugs aren’t always synonymous to perfect fit (at least on my wrist).

I was so close to pulling the trigger on getting a Breguet

Me three.

If Breguet would tweak those pretty but sticking straight out lugs a little bit down towards the wrist, a whole lot more References would fit me

It's an improvement, and rather beautiful...

Breguet is one of my all time fav brands. I sometimes look at their watches and tell my self, if this same watch had a Patek label on it, it would cost 4-5X as much, particularly if on the secondary market.
