I've tried this watch on and it's lovely but it was a bit too big for my 6.7" wrist, as it's 40mm and wears larger due to the slim bezel. If you have large wrists, however, it's perfect. The street price for the watch is fair and it ticks a lot of boxes with the hand painted enamel dial, Breguet numerals and hands, and fluted case; it's like wearing an 18th century Breguet pocket watch on your wrist, albeit with a very thin automatic movement, and the off-center sub seconds is an unexpected but lovely touch. Breguet's case and dial finishing is among the best and while in years past their movement finishing came up a tad short of comparable Pateks and Vacherons, I'd say they're about even with Patek in this price range these days, as I think Breguet has come up a bit while Patek has gone down a bit.
