Let the beatings begin... I for one like it, but not sure on the whole Gretzky thing. Way out of my range price wise though.

Just lose the Gretzky logo on the subdial at 9, and then I'd actually quite like it. I'm not really a gold watch fan, but on black croco I think that one looks reasonably nice (but not for $31.5k!)

I'm not a gold watch guy but i think it's alright! I actually think the Gretsky logo is pretty subtle.

Jordan has Gretzky beat handily in the logo competition.

Breitling had/has a partnership with the NHLPA, so...

It looks good and I like the display back with the signature showing. It'll never sell though at that price.

I'm with you on the display back, really sets off the piece. It would be a big chunk of change but I bet once you owned it, it would all make sense. :) I'm really just wishing uncoils afford it lol.

Nothing to do with NHLPA, Gretzky hasn't been a member since he retired. He has been a brand ambassador for several years.

The NHLPA and Gretzky editions suggest that Breitling has fans amongst NHL'ers, ex-NHL'ers and Leafs fans.

The NHLPA editions were a decade or so back and didn't sell - ADs were discounting 50% to try and shift them and I was offered the Super Avenger version at cost back in 2007 / 2008 (dealer cost being 45% of MSRP in those days).
