Am glad I'm not the only one who thought that :lol: I've never liked the Diamondworks Breitlings and the Flying B is my least favourite Breitling.

My AD has a DiamondWorks Flying B that is modest in comparison to this at only $114K - I thought that was bad, but this thing - yeuch.

I reckon it was an inside job because that was the only way that the store would be able to get rid of it :shock:

I actually think its a beautiful watch, just not something I'd ever want to wear. Kind of like a Woman's engagement ring.. beautiful, but just not for me :)

Why ruin an already ugly watch with a ton of diamonds?

Sorry, I'm just not a fan of the Flying B.

It's a bit overrated in my opinion.

I think the Flying by is not a watch that typically Ling collectors will like. I actually really did not like it in the beginning as well... but for some reason it has grown on me now and it is among my favourites.

I still don't like the standard Flying B either. The Flying B Chronograph though... well that's a different story!
