See, we disinterested Americans can only pull off a couple of meetings a year, no low-production LEs for slackers. Last August?? Time for another one.

Japanese people loves limited edition of everything, no matter it's better/more beautiful than the regular editions...
But this CSO is indeed spot on! I almost got one but the contrasting subdials was a deal breaker.

There are more Japan only LEs, the latest ones:

http://www.breitling.co.jp/products/japan_limited/chrono_superocean_black_limited/

And some older ones:

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/auc-maruka/2011102700345/
http://oomiyawakayama.ikora.tv/e132988.html

There might be others, just lazy to dig more...

As you can see, most of them have really little difference from the non limited edition watches...

And about the prices here... The ADs does indeed sell only at list prices, no discount at all.
But you can buy most brand watches thorough the non official shops, which import the watches directly from the overseas. Sometimes you can buy a Breitling for as low as 60% of the list price of the ADs!

Though expensive, buying at the AD gives you some privileges, like access to lounges where you can enjoy other watches in exposition while you have yours ultrasound cleaned (silly, I know), receive about 3 booklets a year with the latest news from the Breitling world, and the most important, you have the right to send your watch for overhauling and pay only half the list price, and it is a lifetime right.

Some of the famous Canadian expats in the US are a bit off putting to us yanks though. If they complain about the US system, they should go home- IMO.

There was also a Japan-only black MOP Evo, along with an all-black Arabics Evo. Both were pretty nice.
