That's why those other forums suck. The opinions are based on marketing dollars, it's a big sham.

The more and more I look at the TO 1461 with white dial on brown croc the more I like it. I've always enjoyed the Calibre 19 watches, I've had 3, but this one might be the nicest yet! I'm looking forward to seeing this one in person.

I like it too. But not at $10k.

We just checked it out at baselworld, stock images don't do it justice.

I'm trying to like it. I WANT to like it. But i can't. If only the globe was in outline and more subtle it could be a smashing watch. As it is i think it's a bit of a mess.

I'm surprised Breitling is making the globe focus on North America on a watch intended for sale in Europe.

I have also noted the greyscale in pictures on another forum.
Still not 100% sold on it but it is much better than the blue/green in the marketing material, they are shooting themselves in the foot with it :guns:

Waiting to see one with my own eyes before I pass my final judgement.

Ha Ha ... that's why so many hate it... Apparently, American exceptionalism is despised everywhere except Breitling. (including the present occupant of the White House)

The TO1461 is awesome, the QP is very nice, and although clearly in the minority, I don't dislike the globe on the unitime that much at all. I'd like to see it without, just for comparison purposes, but fine just the way it is - I really like that watch.

The black dial is ugly though, no doubt.

Great point! Its intended to be a travel watch


Absolutely love the TOC UT (with the globe) this piece really turned my focus back to Breitling for my first luxury watch.
I would love to get my hands on the white dial with rose gold case.
