The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Don't have pictures yet, but do have confirmation that the rubber bracelet on the Motors Speed is the Diver Pro II that is also offered on this Chronomat. As I understand it this will be a replacement of the Diver Pro for all models.

Heres my rundown:

I like just about everything about it. The bezel is awesome. I wouldnt mind some more "normal" numbers, but I certainly dont dislike the ones they chose. I dont like the onion crown, but I never like that about the old one either. The only thing that strikes me as particularly odd is the shading on the 6 o'clock sub-dial. The top hemisphere seems like it should be completely shaded with the square, and the bottom left unshaded. Its just strange.

I guess im one of the few that thinks the roman numeral version looks awesome. It gives a much sleeker look. Im also one of the ones that hated the old numerals on the chronomat. They always looked waaay out of place to me.

Top hemisphere is also half shaded.

I know, thats my problem. The entire top half should be shaded, and the entire bottom left unshaded. As it is they have some one-quarter top and one quarter bottom shading thing going on.

Yeah, I'm not sure about that bezel either. Actually, I think my first Breitling was bought because of the bezel (Wasn't a Chronomat, but did have that overall feel) since I didn't really know a lot about watches back then.

Also, iirc this was supposed to have an exhibition caseback... I just can't really remember where I read it .
