There is no simple answer

The first real watch I purchased was the Breguet Qantiemme and the last watch was the UN GMT Perpetual. I wear both on a daily basis without anyone realizing what I have on my wrist. IMHO I think of Breguet as a more subtle and exclusive company and UN as an undiscovered gem. Buy the one that you love looking at. Either choice will be right...and then you'll have to purchase the other brand. Happy shopping.

Very handsome indeed! Thanks a lot. The XXI is a serious contender on my wish list at the moment along with the non-Offshore AP chrono. You don't happen to have the latter as well, do you? It would be great to hear a comparison between the two, especially...
