It's -- I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest, it's just laying there and everybody can hardly breathe and talk...I, I'm sorry. Honest, I can hardly breathe. I'm going to step inside where I cannot see it. Oh, that's terrible. I -- Listen folks, I'm going to have to stop for a minute, because I've lost my voice...This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed.

It's OK Sharkman. Just sit down and take three deep Navitimers.

It is the end of the radio broadcast from the Hindenburg disaster. I'll be ok... Eventually. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

These red bezel things must be selling since they keep making more of them, right? Otherwise I cant understand why they keep doing them. It looks like sh!t.

And I dont think the white one is all that bad, aside from the white strap.

I didn't like the CSOII from day one, this furthers my opinion...

I'll reserve judgement on the watch until I see one in person. Although, I'm not too hopeful.

I agree with Roff about the press script though: It is over-zealous drivel that is detrimental to its purpose.

"...a new alliance of audacity, style and functionality."

Well, Lady Gaga in a meat dress is also an alliance of audacity, style and functionality, but I wouldn't consider that anything to brag about.

I love the Abyss, and I love a white dial, and I always hoped they would find a great way to make the two work together. Man, they are WAY off!!! Sad to say. Then again, it's not like I'm full of bright ideas.

I see RED!!



No matter how many times I go to my AD & try on a new gen SO I cannot warm to it, this will be the same. No exclusivity, no timelessness, just present day trend. I see these & think '18 year olds Rolex'. No class at all.

All of a sudden the J12s are starting to look choice. And I've already expressed my opinion about those when Roff posted about one awhile back.

This red bezel is composed of rubber. Does Breitling have contracts with
tire companies to use recycled goods @ substantial savings, while jacking
up prices out of greed & delusional haute horology?
