I will now chill out on the Breguets lol
Last week or so, I posted about the Breguet GMT I picked up and did a long-ish write up. More or less, same awesome level of finishing is on display here, except we get an amazing retrograde seconds function. This is my absolute favorite variation of this watch next to the chrono and TB.
Here are some pics I took with my phone! A few things to call out: -Beautiful hand done guilloche throughout the watch. -Head blued hands are never a miss. They are well done, transitioning to black/blue nicely. -Parachute system is beautifully finished. -Lots of nice internal angles, and well done anglage free of any machine marks -Extensive, generous amounts of hand engraving!

anglage
You correctly call out the anglage and lack of machining marks. I trusthope you know that's because Breguet does all anglage by hand - If you get the chance to visit Maison Breguet, they might even give you a chance to try your hand at it....
