Appreciate everyone's opinion
Hi Timetraveller
This place is gerat for expressing everyone's own opinion, so you made no mistake at all. We respect and appreciate every Purist Pro to honestly tell everyone how they feel about their watches and believes.
My XXI is so far so good and I fully enjoy all the wrist time. Accuracy, I would rate it as 9.5 out of 10 but you know every watch can be a little different and also the service interval also plays an important part in that. As mentioned by a few guys before, I don't really look at the chronometer certification, Breguet is a very established quality brand name, their track record is more than the certification.
One thing to look out for when you decide on the XXI is the size of it, do try it on your wrist, it is 42mm X 15mm and is heavy. A smaller wrist size might want to go for the XX instead.
Glad you like the Bregust brand. Good luck with your decision.
Regards
Ivan

Hi Kari, you are right, i might be concentrating on the wrong parameter. Thanks for your comment anyway. I am just not sure what to do and look for reasons in both ways, why I should or why I should not buy. Slightly complicated. In principle the 20 has t...
designed with flaws?

Hi Just interested in what you meant by designed with flaws. I found it perfectly balanced and good looking. Type XX is too small for my eyes for a chronograph, XXI is much better. The small dial at the 3 o'clock position is really not of much use when th...

Hi Ivan, dont get me wrong, the dial is balanced in its general view. That is correct, and I will supposedly not buy the XX because it is too small, as you said. Same opinion. What I do not like with the dial of the XXI is the following: 1. the colour is ...
your points taken

Hi Timetraveller your points taken. I have the the steel bracelet version and I have to agree with you the dial colour has a tint of brown and goes better with the brown strap but it is not so bad after all. I think it is better than a boring black. Many ...
you are right

Ivan, thanks for your repy. I totally agree. There should be some credit been given for the innovativeness and I still consider taking this watch due to the central second and minutekeeper which are fabulous. Should I go for the XXI after all, I would def...
