The speedo on the dial
spiral wise, is much better than a speedo scale on a lunette.
It looks almost the way Montblanc do with it’s chronograph.

Of course you are not alone.
Since quite a few years one of my favorites and a watch for the "special" and more festive occasions.

I love Breguet's handwound chronos ...
... but this one, not so much. I'm kinda allergic to prominent tachymeters and this one, in red, dominates the center of the dial, obscuring the subregisters. I infinitely prefer the older 3237/5237 models: no tachymeter, simple blued hands on an exquisitely-guilloched silver dial, smaller size, just plain elegant. For whatever reason, these older, smaller models are much cheaper on the secondary market than are the newer, to-me-pointlessly-larger models but, hey, to each his own.
Design-wise, yes ...
... basically the same the 3237/5237 but, myself, while I do in fact use my chronographs, I have no use for split-seconds, especially since most rattrapantes split only the seconds and not the minutes. Yeah, there is the Lange double-split which indisputably has a beautiful movement but is crazy huge and expensive, really a pocket watch, adding a (to me) useless complication; all this goes triple for the triple-split. Price-wise, the Breguet rattrapante isn't too bad but the price difference between, say, the Patek 3970 and 5004 is legitimately insane. --tim
I love this Breguet dial! Probably the R version for me, but I wouldn't be too picky about the G either... ;-) [nt]
