A perfect "his and hers" for a YUPPIE DINK couple.
I actually have no issue with the red one.
You see a lot of ladies wearing men's watches these days and the white one would probably look quite cool on a ladies wrist.

It looks a bit hideous.

I was thinking the same thing.

As for the red one... well, if Breitling reads this forum, what do you think it is saying to us with that one?

As was I - a perfect fit, particularly considering white watches seem to be the rage for fashionable women at the moment.

That red thing however is in a different league of its own. Quite hideous.

Seems to me that B is reaching.

Let's put some color on....Let's find a new font....let's not change anything but those things.

The classics still work and inovation works. Personally, I currently own all the B's I like except for a select few, the new variations are just marketing mumbo jumbo. Just like putting 22's on your car and calling it custom.

Well.... At least they colour matched the date wheel!!!!

Edit: Does anyone know the demographic for the coloured bezels? I know lots of manufacturers make them, the "Hulk" for example. Who buys them for the most part? I wonder if Breitling is aiming at the kinda demographics that would buy the coloured bezels, with their modern stylized twist.
