but it doesn’t fit every wrist well, unfortunately, and definitely not mine, because of the straight lugs and lug to lug… ...
I agree it’s very beautiful.
The breguet numerals alone are worth the price of admission.

Close to perfection: 37mm is on the higher end of the margin
And the Breguet dial is so balanced
I would agree with this!
The only one that came close for me was the 5127g (just my preferred configuration) I hope they consider some interesting dial options for the 6196! How about breguet dial 6196g j and r! Bring back sector also. A sector no date in the style of the classic...
