well, the hopes that the Bentley B06 "Silver Storm" would look better in the metal ......
:wowzers

Some of that must be wrong - E2 is $13,000 on strap and $15,750 on bracelet :huh I know that titanium bracelets are more expensive, but.......


Great photo of the silver storm fishnet - 12:30 and the date still hasn't changed on the Basel showcase piece :roll: and yes, I stand by my assertion that it is butt ugly.

Other thoughts, the DLC mesh bracelet looks OK but would be interested in seeing how well it holds up. The understated diamond bezel on the 38mm TO Chrono is a new touch and works if you like that sort of thing, but a ladies diamond bezel chrono seems an odd concept in the first place.

The Bentleys look worse in real pictures I think.

The Bentley "Stripper-Fishnet" models look even worse in real world pictures..... if that's indeed possible!

The E2 still looks fantastic head-on IMO, but that thickness (and diameter) put it firmly in the "novelty-value-only" box for me now. Shame.

I agree with Roff that the understated diamond TOC38 is a nice touch for the ladies. (Gosh, you don't often see the words "diamond" and "understated" in the same sentence when talking about Breitling! :lol: )

could not have said it better, thought I'd like to add that there about 10 grades of "oy";
from "oy, true danger", sometimes expressed as "oy, gevalt", to a shrugging, slightly
sad "oy", with a hint of pity - like "knew you'd eff it up".

the latter.

Hank the Cod is alive and well - Stripper's Fishnet Silver Storm tops the Colt.

Am I the only one that thinks the B06 looks like a fake Bentley?? I've run out of adjectives to describe Breitling's recent new releases. But, once again the rotor is pretty awesome.

I agree, I think they took their inspiration from the very popular fake tourbillon Bentley.

I like the Chronospaces, specifically the all black automatic with matching sub-dials and lumed arabics - very nice!

No comment on the Bentleys as usual.

Agreed. Good call on that one. If you buy one of the new Bentleys you need to wear it back to front! :lol:

Where are the rest of the models?

-AvengerII
-Transocean GMT

Off the top of my head......

Want to see the TO GMT in the flesh. The 'wave' pattern on the face is off - putting.

It also looks like there will be some different strap options without the white stitching. I prefer the stitching but as long as the quality remains I guess having an option is nice

Is that a new Breitling calf strap in that white gold Bentley unitime? It has black stitching and doesn't look as padded.

Good call Pete, that does look new, actually it looks dark grey on my screen. There is also a new brown one on the ugly white dial B06. Hmmmm does anyone have info on these straps?
