    I have come across this Le Réveil du Tsar. Classique alarm wristwatch in 18-carat yellow gold offered to me at an attractive price. Though I am looking for an alarm watch, I like JLC Momovox style better but this Breguet looks stunning..
    Please give your opinions so that I may make up my mind. Regards

    Great watch, overhauls will be a lot more than a JLC. 'Attractive' price is relative. I wouldn't buy it just because the price seems reasonable if you like the Memovox's styling better.

    I would want to see better pictures. Among other things, doesn’t the Breguet nameplate seem off-center and out of balance? Have you seen and how the watch? Who is the seller? Someone known to be legitimate?

    Yes watch is positively genuine. My AD has offered me since he sold to a customer in June this year who doesn't need it. I'm getting 50% off list price. It's greed to some extent but presently I don't have an alarm watch. I know it might be just an excuse to buy another. I wonder if some owners here may render their opinion.

    I have looked at the white gold but decided against it. It is a very busy dial and once you discover the robot face gazing at you you cannot unsee it.

    Personally …JLC is a way better design. This is too tarted up for my taste.

    With apologies to any owners, that's an ugly dial.
