http://www.breitling.com/en/models/colt ... ntent=text I like it, yet another blacksteel but it works for me. I won't be paying £3910 though. |

I have had a bit with their Blacksteel. And why do they keep on making Blacksteel watches. They don't sell! At least not over here... |

They must sell good overall, otherwise i doubt they would do several black, on black, on black watches. I prefer my watches to have a few elements of contrast, at least 3 or 4 when you look at the dial (black, chrome, red, and the color of SS). |

This will pass (I hope). I remember Hi-Fi equipment components in brushed aluminium in late 70's early 80's. Then black coated was all the rage and now it is back to brushed aluninium. |

Off course they must sell good or it would be indeed a very stupid thing to continue making them, but I've seen enough Blacksteel for a while... And my window and Breitling corner are stuffed with Blacksteel watches... And even though we are a very touristic place where I am, haven't sold one Blacksteel watch this year. |

I've never owned a black steel watch so they still hold some appeal for me. I've more than my fair share of s/s black faced chronographs and am tempted to try something different. It might stop my beloved asking "Which watch is that you've got on today......?"

Well, i guess that just means where you are the "stealth" look isn't a huge trend, just like how in certain countries a whole brand may sell more or less watches than another brand. Like i said i don't like the look of those watches personally and idc if the trend continues or stops. |
