Have you seen this thing? :shock:

http://www.breitling.com/en/news/detail ... ition-4457

Black and brown dial?? (VERY strange combination).

And a gold hand-set coupled with silver markers?? (I've never liked it when the hands don't match the markers - always looks a bit "parts-bin-special" to me).

I'm sure it'll have it's fans, but it's not remotely a colour combo I'd consider!

Interesting combination that doesn't work for me, the colours just seem to highlight how relatively tiny the movement is for a case that size. But it is nice to see an LE that isn't Blacksteel.

Well I will agree with you on that point.

Another watch that's too big for me. The dial is interesting to say the least but why didn't they make the markers in gold is beyond me.

I got a little excited when I saw the subject of the email earlier - my next buy is a Navi 01 (46).

Then I opened the email and saw that :-(

Doesn't do it for me either - nope.

Well.... It's certainly.... "different". Agreed on the gold vs silver mismatch. I'd imagine that in reality the whole thing looks weird. Brown and black. That's just wrong!

I saw it on my phone this morning and liked it, but then after seeing a larger image, it's not something that I'd buy. I think if the markers were gold, it would be worth considering.

An unexpected color scheme, which I find interesting and cool. A sort of "black and tan" approach.

Looks like a Benidorm special.
