I see your point. You make a good one especially on my patek chin vs breguet chin comment. I do think the guilloche dial with power reserve works better even though I generally love enamel dials more.

Breguet presents its new Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique with a Grand Feu enamel dial as its first new model of the 2018 collection. Available in either rose gold or platinum. Watch is a mere 7.45 mm thick (case is 42mm) and the automatic Cali...

Patek 5270 had a chin and this does too from 4 o clock to 6 o clock. Dial was designed to fit the movement but doesn't really look good to me.

Off-center dials were odd to me as well until I started looking at early Breguet designs (by A.L.Breguet himself) and you start to see that off-center minute/hour dials are very much a part of the original Breguet aesthetic. The intersecting circle of the...

Breguet's enamel dials are always a clarifying experience versus the baroque effect of the guilloche.

I like both, this enamel really works. 7727, classique chronometrie in enamel, please.

In the context of this watch, I prefer the enamel version compared to the guilloché one

For me, the enamel dial combined with this specific tourbillon (I mean its style) offer a firmly modern timepiece. Maybe it’s not specifically what Breguet collectors look for but here, this combo gives a very nice style especially as this timepiece has a... 

Hmm, a very interesting piece.

It combines some very diverse elements. There is a lot going on here, so I will have to reserve my judgement for when it is on my wrist. Although, enamel dial...
