The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hideous.

The dial fonts and bezel font are all fighting each other, the dial markers are out of proportion, and the dial is crowded. There is nothing about this model I like.

You know I actually really don't mind that at all. Contrary to what most other people who have posted think anyway

It is a diving watch afterall. Good clear colours, large font and smooth lines. Definitely sporty looking, I like it!

I think the markers at 6, 9, and 12 are a little too big. The fonts I don't mind so much. I kinda like the angled font. I can quibble with some of these small things but overall I like it. Bold, easy to read.

Peace

As I said in the other thread, I really like the new SO. The fonts are not a strong point, I'll admit (in fact they're my least favourite thing about it), but the case and the coloured rehaut are enough to get me interested despite them.

Definitely not feeling that at all.

Glad I got mine before they changed it.

EEEK!

Not quite as nice as I thought it was!!!!

I'm with you on that one Davey! When I first saw the "splashing into water" images I quite liked it, but this head on image has REALLY put me off.

(Oh and if you haven't seen them yet, just check out the real world pictures at Basel. The bezel which is rubber looks grey and the whole thing just looks a mess.

It's not rubber, it's rubber coated steel Which IMHO makes it even worse than a rubber bezel... Especially on a diver's watch.

Nasty. This could do for Breitlings image what "Formula 1" did to TAG Heuers.

Personally, I really like it. It's just too small at 42mm.
