It is awesome, and it's a total mystery to me why breitling used that particular face with that model only, since it's just too cool with the engraved circular pattern and all. The only reason that I can think of is that it looks, perhaps, a bit too newfangled for more conservative buyers. Is that blue or black by the way? Can't really tell. |

That circular pattern (doesn't have to be circular) is called Guilloche. I think Colt Auto II is better suited for more conservative buyers than SO. It's black. |

I still feel the need for closure regarding the ever-present colt vs superocean dilemma. Sure, you can say steelfish and trump both in terms of sheer presence, but is the extra size worth the (subjectively) less elegant dial? |
