Think there will be another BB coming out sometime in the near future with an in-house movement?

It would make sense, given the BB's popularity..... but "sense" isn't always something we see these days.

Unless they butcher it. Seeing the direction the Chronomat/Galactic line has gone in the last couple of years doesn't give me much hope a new BB will even be as good as the last one, let alone better. I'd be happy, though, if it turns out my fears are misplaced.

I agree...I sure hope it doesn't have one of the newer bezel designs...

Was in St.Maarten last week and the guy in Art of Time had one marked down to $4200. If I didn't have a Black Steelfish I probably would have considered it. Thought that was a pretty good price.

But that's the old one, not any new one that may appear.

I spoke with the regional rep at a party at my AD last week. He wasn't sure when the new BB will make it out, or what it will look like. But he did point out that although Breitling has released a B01 and B04 movements, there are B02 and B03 movements under development. One of which has the date wheel at the 12 o'clock position. So it's coming! :lingsrock: He also thought the new Emergency won't be out until about 2013.......

Interesting news, let's hope they're not too far away. Sounds exciting though.

I might be alone in hoping the new bezel font hits the BB, I am not buying otherwise.

I'm with you Justin I like it, but then I have the SuperOcean Abyss so I guess I'm a fan or the new wave of watches!
