Hi Guys just thought I'd share some pics of my new Ling.

OK so that looks good!

I sold my 'Racer, could not grow to love it somehow?

It looks great. That said I voted for the polished version as I love the way they catch light and sparkle :)

It looks great, but if I have to pick one for myself it would most likely be a polished one.

Hi neodyne

Looks like it's just you and me for the brushed version.

In certain circumstances I can appreciate the polished finish, (eg the old B-2) but I have to say I tend to prefer the satin or Matte finish.

Hence my cravng for a Nav Breiting Fighter. :roll:

Like Davey, I have never been sold on the Skyracer, but I have to admit your brushed finish with black dial does have something about it. Hmmmmm............

I voted brushed. I really like your Skyracer. That black face and brushed steel pro II make a great combo! Congrats and enjoy it for many years to come.

Well Im along so I must come clean! I am the lonely neither vote. Reason.... this model just does not fit my style. I do not wish to take anything away from any B owner. These are MAJOR purchases and to each his own. I really prefer polished myself. But the real reason for the vote is it is a model that just does not speak to me. Sorry, just my opinion. You know that opinions are just like a**holes though..... everyone has one!

Truthfully, whether I like the model or not, when I see you wearing it I feel like I just met a long lost brother!

Congrats on the watch! And wear it in good health!!!!!

I voted neither. I just don't like the watch for the whatever reason. However, if that was the only choice and I was offered one as a prize, I'd do the polished. I'm an 'original state item' freak.

After 2 weeks of anxious anticipation the brushed version of the Skyracer is proving to be more popular than the polished version.............but only marginally.
:woohoo: :nutkick:

Well I'm happy with the choice and I guess thats all that matters. Now to figure out which other watches I should aquire...........the list is endless

Thanks for the feedback guys

I had to go for the polished as it's the one i've got, i didn't even realise i could get a brushed finish but must admit it does look well. Some people don't seem to warm to the Skyracer but hat makes them more exclusive, i haven't seen anyone with the same watch as me and i work in a busy airport so Skyracer always gets my vote
