The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I saw this before, and have to admit, its really ugly. The square watches of any brand, that where presented in the last years (except the Monaco), did not really sell. TAG Heuer could hardly sell the Silverstone, Rado cannot sell the R4.4 (at least not in quantities) Baume & Mercier nearly went out ouf business because of their "TV-formed watch", the Glashuette Sixties Cushion is not selling at all, I think, this one will not sell either. Bad thing is, that they will try to force me to buy it.

Sorry Altair - you and I generally seem to have similar taste in watches, but in this case I really can't see the appeal. I like retro designs in lots of cases, but this one just reminds me of something a 70's door to door sales rep might wear. I'm sure it's nicely finished, but it's just not my cup of tea at all.

not sure if someone posted this comment already since i was to lazy to check...

but the watch reminds me of a PP nautilus. i know nothing about movements so i cannot comment on that however if we are talking straight aesthetics...then personally i find this piece falls short. Altair you have a pretty large wrist size a watch like this might look like a kids toy on you

I was really surprised! On the pictures this watch looks terrible, but in reality its a great piece. Its nothing for a young man up to 30 years, but it fits perfect on a wrist of someone in the fourties and older. The watch is perfectly done.

The pricing is about 9500 Euros, (2500 of them comes from the panorama date!), so its not that far away from compareable peaces with manufacture calibre.

Really great watch. I ordered it in all three available dials...
