Any ideas?
I’m thinking of a Breguet Marine. The second generation. I actually had a time only one I stupidly sold. Loved it.
Maybe an octo finissimo? The complicated ones are quite a steal now second hand. I had one of these too but the gen 1 rotor was faulty and it had to go back. The limited edition variants they’ve done look very very cool to me.
Gauthier C was another idea but I don’t love the dial numeral style. If they did sticks only I’d love it.
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is tempting too.
What else is interesting? 🤨
