One of my least favourite as far as more recent models is probably the Astromat designs.

See I like that - I'll try and find some pictures with the grille removed - it looks totally different.

I'm with admin on the Astromats though, the bezel just didn't work.

It doesn't work with that bezel for me - wouldn't be my ugliest ever, but it just doesn't look right.

I agree that's a bit of a waste of a beautiful B19 movement as doesn't look it's best with that bezel, but it's still far from ugly IMHO.

(My personal favourite B19 equiped model is the Navitimer Olympus...... in fact it's one of my "Watches to get" in the 'What watches do you REALLY want' thread).

I'm still struggling to think of a REALLY ugly Breitling though..... Maybe I'm just blinded by the wings! :wink:

The Tabarly (quite popular in her time) had a bracelet system looking a bit like that of the AP Royal Oak - and that is not the ugliest. I always have a feeling w/the Tabarly similar when walking after a girl with nice form and legs - and then, suddenly, she - turns around! And the dream is over....
If personal tastes differ highly when talking about what we prefer, why shouldn't they differ when talking about what we don't prefer - say find ugly. So I do not see the sense of such a thread as the ugliest Ling - my USD .02 only of course.

You'll forgive me for disagreeing slightly on favourite 19 :wink:

If you didn't like my World choice as ugliest, then may I suggest the PCD Maritime Chrono - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... d_187.html

Seeing how many reactions and discussions this thread has extracted I think it certainly was not senseless at all. There are so many threads about how beautiful and great all Breitlings are. I thought stirring the pot a little should not be necessarely a bad or senseless thing :wink:

Well first off I appreciate you enlarging my typo and making it bright red ( :lol: ) - PVD of course :oops:

I guess that explains why there is no overlap in our collections :wink:
