I agree, for the in-house movement vs. non in-house it's a very reasonable and relatively small increase in price. But the design of the face warrants a decrease of about $10k in price.

Haha I agree, so how about it warrants a $15k decrease in price.

It's a little too busy of a dial for me. Also, at $11,770 on a bracelet, I'll have to pass.


did you see the RG version??? 52,090 CAD on bracelet?? DAM! At that price there are quite a few other pieces that are a better fit

I like the way they've integrated the 30 second chronograph in the in-house base movement, but that dial!!! :shock: What's the opposite of genius? Because whatever that is, that's what this watch is a work of!

I agree with Fred that the new Emergency is by far and away the best thing Breitling have shown us this year.

I might be alone, but the dial isn't so bad. I'd have to see it in person. I like the fact that the movement is visible. I agree with Fear. I thought it'd be more expensive than it is.

Steel, Royal Ebony, Bentley Brown. That’s a great combination. Intricate lacework.

Not for me, but might be good in the flesh.

The last version of the Model T with Balck Velvet dial looks far better than the 06. I love the case back, but how often do you really look at that. They might have been better off just adding the inhouse Movement to the existing Model T and give it the cooler case back. That is something I would have been interested in. Not this.

I do think the black 05 is an interesting piece, however. Still not as good as the old Model T.

The Unitime is OK, but I really prefer the B04 GMT. I actually dig what that one is about. Looks great in black. I have not seen this one in the flesh, but I bet its better looking than the picturtes suggest.
