I own this one and to me….
Prefer it over the textured dial on Arabic one. The sand blasted platinum dial and white gold Breguet numbers are a perfect combo. This dial is textured versus the sand blasted finish on the 100th Anniversary Platine limited edition.

Super nice and unique .. ...
First, let me welcome you warmly to the forum.
What an incredible first post! Can you tell us more about this 270th very special 1921? The textured Arabic dial looks very special indeed. Congratulations ! Best regards, Emmanuel
Amazing!! Agree completely - I have
never seen that texture on this watch before. Would love to know more. Now some version of this with the texture would be a great release.
Thanks for sharing that one. Agree not as nice.
I wonder if the texture is not as pronounced or just a photo effect? I think the numerals also should be blued and that would then be amazing.
I hope our new member Pigbee will give us
more information about his absolutely unique Eastern Arabic numerals 1921!

I personally don't think the Eastern Arabic numerals are larger.
They seem to fill in exactly the same space, but I might be wrong. Best, Emmanuel
Interesting observation. I
went back and looked and I think the issue is that on the regular 1921, the 12, 6, and 9 numerals are slightly larger than the others. So I think there’s a little bit of a perspective difference. Also, since I am not an Arabic expert, it does seem that wh...
Great assessments, seabas132! You are spot on…
I hadn’t noticed the larger 12, 6, and 9 on original version, which makes for a cool effect I think. And the same in the Arabic version, the ١ and ٢ are indeed a little smaller…which is why I felt the other numbers to be larger. So funny how one doesn’t n...
