I own the Marine Tourbillion . . .

You are on to something, Nicolas, with the traditional lugs versus integrated lugs. My feeling is that the Tourbillion needs a different strap that better matches its personality; specifically, a UN "sailcloth" strap like you see on the Torpillieur (and the new Freaks). But with the integrated lug design, no such strap exists in the UN universe.
Otherwise, and not surprisingly since I own one, I prefer the Marine Tourbillion for its enamel dial, "economical" tourbillion, and especially the VERY cool hands. I'm not a fan of blued hands (probably the only watch addict in the world who's not a fan) and find the shapely black hands with minimal lume of the Tourbillion very appealing.
Interesting post, Nicolas. Thank you.

I think the Torbillion is pretty reasonably priced considering, but I think Torpilleur is the standout version for me - if this watch had the Torbillion visible only through the case back
then I would buy it tomorrow My favorite version ; Or one of these ...
