I see what youre saying, but its only when I focus directly on the date. Taking the entire dial into focus though, I think it fits in rather seamlessly. Its the "too close together" subdials that I dont like. |

Two lumed subdial hands and one that isn't, a tad unbalanced perhaps? The thing is that at that price point, I can still not look at these watches with a straight face. Merchandising is fine but at close to five figures I'd take any given Omega over that one... or a Navi... or another Pam for that matter. It is not an ugly watch, but to me it doesn't reflect the value of the asking price. In my wish list, that's a key factor though, so sorry Breitling, not for me. Why don't you let Chopard mess with Bentley and get back to making Breitlings? |

Love the strap. I still prefer the earlier Bentley Le Mans. |

Perhaps the rationale is that the lumed hands are on the chronograph totalizers, whereas the non-lumed hand is for the small seconds. Which brings up a pet peeve I have with most chronographs with a 3,6,9 layout: why don't they put the seconds at 6, and balance the totalizers at 3 and 9? It makes the layout so much more symmetrical. I'm glad Rolex finally did this with the Daytona.Nav01L wrote: The thing is that at that price point, I can still not look at these watches with a straight face.

It does seem ironic that Breitling's most expensive lineup isn't even in-house. Doubly ironic, at least for me (and I would guess a number of others), is that I'm being asked to pay a premium for a brand association with a car I will likely never be able to afford.
