i prefer black and rose gold to white BUT the silver ring around the black, breaks it up and it looks funny. i like the gmt in black and gold, but the 675 in white.

plus a guy i am out with a lot had a rose and black faced motors, and i dont want to look like toolbags with the same watch :)

I disagree! I think the gold battons, chrono surrounds and hands bring it all together, as I am sure the your friend would agree!
Still its the white dial for me though!

honestly, i dont think you can go wrong either way, plus, i am a man of many straps, and the white plays better with blue, green, grey red etc than the black does

i already have a brand new brown and a kinda worn blue... looks like im gonna order some straps this week.

funny part is i'm concerned with spending a few hundred a pop for straps for a $30k watch, my head works in weird ways.

my arms are so big i need to order the longer size straps, so i will have a brand new unworn brown 24mm croc for sale tomorrow :)

ok, so they guy from the store delivered it to me after work, and its not the same as the new ones, i knew it was a closeout from breitling last year, thats why i got the stupid deal i did, but its got 2 things different than the current rose gold 675. one is that it the subdials are also rose gold, which i forgot from when i looked at it a couple months ago in the store, the other, and i cant believe i missed this, is it has the turned bezel like a motors, not knurled like the new one. wierd.

not sure if im gonna keep it or now get the black one or neither, i have no idea, but its growing on me.

I'm not a big fan of the B4B line or Gold watches, but I like the one that you got better than the newer model. The older bezel looks nicer to me, plus I think the white with the gold sub-dials looks pretty sweet, I think they stand out too much on the black dial.

So i called the breathing rep, he is a friend of mine, these were a limited edition of 500 from 2007. Funny thing was last year at the christmas party he was wearing this same watch with the camel/mustard color croc and I LOVED it. I think I'm gonna keep it and get that strap. It will be nice. I like it's a little different.
