Hi guys

Not been in for a while so this may be old news.

A new LE Cosmonaute 1000 pieces. Only with black dial and only on the Sky Racer bracelet

UK retail around £4900.

I think it's absolutely gorgeous!!!!

Hadn't heard of that Davey.

That does look nice, though I'm still not completely convinced by the bracelet.

That bracelet looks really interesting. Where can you buy this watch at?

Love the face/bezel, hate the bracelet. Maybe seeing one on my wrist would change my mind :lol:

I thought that the bracelet would grow on me, but it hasn't at all. I didn't like it on the 125 Anniv, and I think I like it less on the Cosmo.

The only good thing about that bracelet is that it's only being produced in small numbers.

Love the watch, not keen on the bracelet. How does it fasten?

Wow!

That is spectacular – the inner silver ring takes that whole black/silver contrast idea to a new level. Does anyone know the diameter?

I actually quite like the bracelet – sets it apart and very retro in a weird post-modern kinda way.

The watch looks good but the bracelet is not my thing. My experience with those 'fixed' bracelets is that though some may think they look cool, unless you have the perfect wrist shape for them you're out of luck.

I'd like to see a picture of the clasp and how it adjusts.

Hi,

I tried one of these on a week or so back - the watch is a beauty, but I too did not like the bracelet. It's a fixed semi circular bracelet, with about 4 or 5 removable links on each end. I can't quite recall what the clasp was though....
Stick it on a croc strap!

Cheers

Like many other, I really love the head but really hate the bracelet. That's an easy fix though! However size-wise I am guessing it's standard Cosmo sized, so that's about 41mm-ish.

And I'm also just wildly speculating here that it's not some cool 24 hour version of the B01 ticking away inside. Looks like another Breitling I won't be buying.

another problem is the small size :cry:

Not liking it at all. The head and the bracelet don't remotely match each other, they look like they come from completely different eras and I'm struggling to see a single shared design cue.

If I were buying it, I'd tell the dealer to keep the bracelet and give me a strap. Easy fix, as D8 said, but then why not just buy the non-LE Cosmo?

Circles?

Yeah, that's about all though!

Like the face but not convinced with the bracelet at all; the picture doesn't inspire me either.
