Super nice and unique .. ...
First, let me welcome you warmly to the forum.
What an incredible first post! Can you tell us more about this 270th very special 1921? The textured Arabic dial looks very special indeed. Congratulations ! Best regards, Emmanuel
Amazing!! Agree completely - I have
never seen that texture on this watch before. Would love to know more. Now some version of this with the texture would be a great release.
Thanks for sharing that one. Agree not as nice.
I wonder if the texture is not as pronounced or just a photo effect? I think the numerals also should be blued and that would then be amazing.
I hope our new member Pigbee will give us
more information about his absolutely unique Eastern Arabic numerals 1921!
I own this one and to meā¦.

but itās just right. I didnāt see the Arabic version, but in pictures the numerals look notably larger (more than I like) than your Breguet numerals. Do the Arabic numbers look larger to any of you too?
I personally don't think the Eastern Arabic numerals are larger.
They seem to fill in exactly the same space, but I might be wrong. Best, Emmanuel
Interesting observation. I
went back and looked and I think the issue is that on the regular 1921, the 12, 6, and 9 numerals are slightly larger than the others. So I think thereās a little bit of a perspective difference. Also, since I am not an Arabic expert, it does seem that wh...
Great assessments, seabas132! You are spot onā¦
I hadnāt noticed the larger 12, 6, and 9 on original version, which makes for a cool effect I think. And the same in the Arabic version, the Ł” and Ł¢ are indeed a little smallerā¦which is why I felt the other numbers to be larger. So funny how one doesnāt n...
