Just noticed on Breitling's website that the Code Yellow now comes in a Baton dial....interesting.....I like it.

The batons make the dial look a little less busy in my opinion. I like the this timepiece, but I would like it even better on a bracelet.

I would agree.
Looks like this satisfies both the arabic and baton lovers.

@mserge: can't believe you haven't picked one of these up yet, what are you waiting for - Xmas? :lol:
Or maybe your waiting for the yellow accents to be replaced with RED! :poke:

Seriously, the yellow looks good - surprised I haven't seen or heard much about these lately (?).

I actually bought the watch, was having it sized and changed my mind....the numerals are chrome and very very difficult to see even in the slightest light....it really bugged me because I love the look of this watch. If the numbers where a solid color it would be perfect....but if they made it red I'd lose my mind!!!!

I want to see it w/batons....it might look better now.

Justin, check the Breitling.com web site under limited editions and you'll see the 'code yellow' model, then can use the 'versions' to see the baton model.

Yeah, the chrome arabics can be hard to distinguish - especially on the black dials IMO. I guess that's why I actually prefer the Skyland over the later Avenger model.

Oh my what a noob move. Thanks Terry for pointing that out, it's amazing, minus the square seconds hand. I totally want something that has the Breitling yellow that when I look at it just oozes Ling.

We can start a petition to send you to Reno if you really want Shark. Don't they do this on Facetwit or twitbook or whatever it's called?

With the 25 Lings you've purchased in that last 12 months, not only should she send you there, she should give you......nevermind.
