The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hey all, just got up close with a 125e Anniversarie in Red Gold!!

Anyone else think this is one of the worst things to come out of the Breitling factory??

I'm sorry to say....but they blew it with that bracelet. Looks like some sort of bangle bracelet my mom would've owned in the late 80's. Very silly.

you know its not that i hate the look of the bracelet but as a guy i like a nice chunky feeling bracelet and it almost looks like this bracelet would feel kind of girly..like the holes are too big and there is too much material missing

if you get a chance take some pictures of the rest of the bracelet..clasp etc.. i still havent seen how it looks around the side of the bracelet and the clasp area has anyone else?

Has Breitling lost their mind!?

The face is great, A+
The design is great, A+
The size is alright, B+
The band, well lets not even go there...

Ive been defending all of the new models, but this one does look a bit strange. Ill reserve judgment until I see some nicer pics, wristshots, or one in the flesh... but yeah, odd looking.

Just added two new pictures above, one of them is the clasp side of the bracelet.

I can only echo the previous comments. The head is way too "ordinary" for a celebratory 125th Anniversay piece in my opinion. Too small, no B01 movement, just..... well..... a bit dull really.

And as for that bracelet! Utterly utterly hideous in all respects. I wondered how they'd deal with the sizing issue as the parts near the head or rigid......... and yep they dealt with it exactly as I thought they would - with grim looking flexible links that a) look nothing like the rigid parts of the bracelet, and b) look nothing like anything Breitling has made before.
