Would you prefer an Asian Movement? :uplaugh:

I like the gold with blue accent, very nice for a dress up watch for the young & wealthy.

Those are really very nice Roff. Dare I ask the price based on your reaction?

Gold and titanium (it's not all gold) around $18k or so, steel and titanium in the $8 - $10k range.

How on earth do they justify putting a non-precious metal watch with a generic movement in that price bracket?

They are in very good company!

And it does have an 'in house' (or at least custom made for them) module on top.

The bottom one would be my choice (I assume it's steel?) but those are some pretty high price tags!

Yes, steel on the bottom.

If it said Breitling on it then we wouldn't think that the prices were that out of line, I think that it's just because the name is unknown by many. Of course low volume always puts the price up as well as there are fewer units to carry the capital costs.
