To me it looks like one of the $25 fakes I see everyday. I'm not too big a fan of busy dials, but this is way too not-busy.

I like it plain simple dial looks great obviously if it had a new name and had a new model no etc I think it would sell well.

I assume that it's just photoshopped, but I agree - it looks like a cheap (and nasty) fake.

I think that what makes the Aerospace an iconic watch is the dual LCD displays on the dial. When you take that out, the watch becomes extremely boring and even ugly to an extent. In other words, it stops being an Aerospace all together.

And without a seconds hand, its yuck!

See - now this is the way Breitling should evaluate their new models like the Skyracer LE's. Make a computer mock up and toss it onto this board and see what we think. :D

Sorry Sonyman, no good for me.

While I agree that that would be an excellent idea, then they wouldn't be able to justify paying the brilliant minds that they have in their design department.

I'd rather have the Airwolf raven in Superman Red. This is awful looking
