Red Strike? Really? That's what they came up with?

The name fits the watch....both are horrendous. I don't understand the need to screw up something so perfect!

Just shows how people who have the same tastes in some things can completely differ on others. I quite like it!

That might be too much red although I'll reserve judgement until I see one in person. The original is such a nice looking piece, I do wonder why the modifications. Still it keeps life interesting.

Nice halloween watch.

I'm not sure if I like the date window, but I'd like to see it in person with the brushed finish. I wonder how it would look on a black croc strap with red stitching, or if that would be too much red.

As a BlackBird owner, I find this limited edition a joke. Not only is it ugly as sin, but the fact that Breitling just repaints a few parts and gives it a special name is a slap in the face to brand loyalists.

Seriously - there is nothing special about this watch.

I feel like as time goes by, I am falling farther and farther from this brand.

I concur; the current BB is perfect.

I still think they should have gone with Serge's suggestion and called it the Red Robin.

Wow, I thought from the thumbnail I'd like it, but.......... To each his own. Maybe if the red surrounds were less prominent and definitely if the red big date wasn't there at all.

Honestly, when I opened the pics I though someone had photo shopped it.
