OK I'll put an instant stake in the ground and say that it's utterly hideous. 'Nuff said IMO. |

Looks like a bad replica you'd find on eBay... |

Oh dear. Brushed titanium finish on a Bentley is interesting - though likely still only grade II. The continuation of the 'throw colour at everything' philosophy still leaves me baffled. I can handle the subdials and central circle, but the wide red rehaut is way too much for me - pass. |

NO ME GUSTA. Wow, that's bad. Real bad.  It's like a bad cross between a bullseye and a bull's ass.

Wow, there is nothing I like about that watch. Maybe if they put it on a brushed titanium bracelet...never mind. It would still be hideous, that red is a bit overkill. |

Well, someone's got to be in minority. I actually like it at a first glance. I agree that the red rehaut might be too much, but then again as moany of you know I don't mind colors. I think it needs to be seen in the metal to decide if it really is too much or not, but until then I like the look. But what would put me off the list is if they choose to continue with low grade titanium - after all problems with shredded crowns I won't buy another titanium watch from Breitling until they step up. And finally, but I have no idea if they intend to or not, I think the Bentley line deserves the in house movements. |

Yeah well you've got previous "form" when it comes to 'interesting' dials Mr Aleister!

Driver, nothing brightens up the day as a coral, red or copper dial.

It was only the red dial Chronomat I was thinking of actually. But to be honest I'd take your Chronomat over this Supersport any day of the week.

So they drop the SO, the CSO and the Steelfish, and they bring out this. Go figure. |

Maybe I wouldn't mind it as much if I was driving around in a Bentley Continental Supersports with the "light grey satin" exterior and "hotspur" interior. Yes, I like to play around with those "build your own" tools on car sites.

Enough of the Rubber and Red already!!! I was really hoping for some decent designs at this year's Basel but it would appear that the brand has decided to keep on with these ridiculous offerings.

That's hideous. I'm shocked that there is actually a market for a watch that looks this obscene and costs this much. |

Okay, not I'm OFFICIALLY all-in on a Legende. That rmoved any doubt in my mind. Breitling is going off the deep end FAST, better get the existing swag while it's still around. |
