Is there a Japanese version of Code Yellow? This is a C.Y. that my local AD showed me, and the others seen in this forum are exactly the same.  and here you can see the C.Y. in the japanese Breitling web http://www.breitling.co.jp/products/aer ... de_yellow/ Can you see the difference? |

I think they're the same. The reason they may look different is from the flash in your photo. |

Looks the same to me. That might be the polished version, I know they're making 1000 polished and 1000 brushed, but they're both available worldwide as far as I know. |

All the stock photos, and Basel pics, seem to have the unpainted hand whereas the few wrist shots around all seem to have a painted hand. |

I guess Altair could tell us if that's true. Or there is another version of C.Y. for Japan. Because there are/were special versions for the japanese market. Gonna PM him. |

There isn't a special Japan LE of the Code Yellow. The Japan LE for 2010 were the Navitimer Stratos and the Chronomat Blue Impulse. |

What's it the 50th anniversary of and why was it just in Japan? Pretty cool looking watch, though I'm not too big on logos when I don't know what the hell they're for.

That's what written in japanese.
