New Arrival Breguet Type XX
I spent some time before deciding on the Type XX. More than any other factor, my choice of wardrobe based on the event determines what watch I wear.

I love the relative simplicity and lack of date window. These are the first photos after unboxing so the quality is not the best.
In such a hurry, there was no time to set the time.

Am I the only one
that finds a Breguet XX much more interesting than a Speedmaster with its 500 different versions. Congrats with your XX, stunning chrono and I love that dial and slightly curved crystal. GEO
Interesting about the curved crystal
Depending on the angle one views the dial, the flyback second hand can appear to be off center. At first I thought it was not lining up directly over the 12 marker until I realized it was the curvature that was responsible for the perceived position. Now ...
