That is really cool. I've bought a couple pieces off of Chrono24 (Speedy 3752.50 and a 38mm Breitling SOH Blue/Blue on Milanese) and have been really happy with the experiences thus far.

I've always loved the Nautilus -- and the Royal Oak, another Gérald Genta design. I liked that the 5711 wasn't too shouty or busy.
