Whats better than ONE Breguet Type XX??

Obviously, TWO of them in different metals! Sorry for the smudgy, over exposed pictures - I was just too happy with the steel one I just acquired to care! Will snap other pics at a later time. By the way, can any one spot 2 major differences between these...  

Some super large pictures of the dials as requested

Actually, there are two differences with the dials come to think of it. Can you spot them? ...  

Actually....

Both dials are tritium! But some reason the steel dial did not have the T-SWISS-T designation - a literature search on a different site suggests that the Steel Breguet with the gold capped crown is older than the RG version. There is one more difference, ... 

That is actually a subtle difference but not the one I was thinking of

Check the Breguet logo and see if you can spot the difference. After the mid 90s they changed the logo slightly. By the way, what a discerning eye to pick out the difference in Triangles =D

LOL. I focused on the Logo, since I didn't see any other difference.

But I didn't notcie something really evident. Interesting! Best, Nicolas

The difference is...

You'll see the difference at the "t" in "Breguet". From my understanding the "t" without the cross-through (looks like an "L" and seen on the steel version) is the original logo and can be seen in older pieces such as the original type 20. The Breguet wit... 

To me, Breguet is mostly

a dress watch brand. I know they make sportier models, but I rarely associate the word "sporty" with Breguet's brand image. But to be honest, apart from my personal immature bias, the watches in your photos are simply beautiful! I especially like the blue... 

First off, two great looking watches.

Second, I couldn't resist trying to spot the two differences between the two. Two things I notice are the clasps are different, and the straps are attached to the cases in reverse, meaning the buckle is attached to the 12 o'clock side on the gold version ...  

You are right....

 
 By: cholack : July 15th, 2014-22:50
In that the clasps are different. One is a double fold deployant (steel) and the other is a single fold deployant (rose gold). They are however attached in the same orientation ie. short strap to the 12 o'clock lugs. As for the dials, I've posted some mor...

One difference that appears to me, in addition to the ones you have mentioned, is that the subdials on the steel version, the running seconds and minutes counter, appear to be bigger than the gold version subdials..its either this or the numerals are bigg...
