For me all the silver dial ones are pretty much totally illegible. At least the GMT hand is visible on the B04 (although seems odd to have that so much more legible than the actual local time!) so my vote goes to the B06 Silver Storm.


Same for me, the silver ones are a very poor design decision, let's take an already complex dial design and screw it up completely!

I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the releases so far, seems for every right choice there is a completely opposite hideous one!

As far as how it looks like, well that is a subjective of course, for me the main problem is the general legibility is poor so it is a no from me.

However, the main problem here is that Breitling have done it with their Bentley brand which might be a major problem in terms of the heritage. As far as I know, Bentley are the sort of car builder that make their cars in such a way as to hide any mechanical attachments; it is as if the engine is hidden from view. The E-Type Jaguar for example had exposed exhaust pipes and Sir Lyons did not like this. So it might be totally the wrong watch to skeletonise in the first place!
