Yes it does. Looks like retail is $1095, but sells for around $723 http://www.neweggmall.com/Product/2002041190/product.html?cm_mmc=PCE-GoogleSearch-_-Watches-_-Watches-_-2002041190

So even the bracelet is black ice PVD, I wonder how this will hold up...

its a very nice piece but only because the Aerospace is. Damn its expensive though, I thought $250-$350 MAX.

I've actually seen a bunch of Aerospace copies from Tissot, Gevril and Certina as well as the Swiss Army one. The Gevril one even jacked the number font that Breitling uses. There's another copy I saw that has the italicized older style Aerospace numbers that I can't recall.

Looking at Gevril's range, they are unashamedly taking design cues from a lot of famous watches.

Rolex vintage Daytona, TAG Carrera, Ebel 1911 , Seiko and even a Yachtmaster/Blackbird hybrid!! :lol:
