Key Points from the Discussion

The choice of a NATO strap on a luxury timepiece like the Breguet Type 20 can be a point of contention for some collectors, who may prefer more traditional strap options.
The original author explained that the decision to use a NATO strap was influenced by a quick-change system that caused scratching on the lugs when the leather strap was in motion.
Some enthusiasts express a preference for the Breguet Type 20 without a date complication, indicating a desire for a cleaner dial aesthetic, though they still appreciate the watch's overall design.

Very nice looking!

As many, I would prefer it without the date, but that’s another story and the watch is great nonetheless.
