I've restated my opinion enough times - I'll just note I voted #2.

I voted 4. I think they've been trying to appeal to the young male macho demographic for a while and this continues that trend.

I voted #2 just in case we're asked to reveal our vote again. I don't like the direction at all...I keep saying this but it feels like they're heading down the same path as Zenith did a few years ago...and they're finally turning around. Time will tell.

I Voted #2!

However, there are some watches that continue to appeal to me - these watches can be said to be more on the conservative/historical side.

But I am not even a fan of the Navi-World LMAO!


Cheers,

Enezdez

Definitely #2. I am a fan of the more classic non fad looking styles.

Interesting. Just bopped over to WUS and TZ and it is 100% approval on the 2011 threads. Not even one dissenting opinion. That isn't a smack to those forums, it just strikes me as interesting.

Damn, I accidently voted #4, but wanted to go for #2 :) I've read "I do not see a direction shift by Breitling" as "I do not see a direction at Breitling" :lol: I think one more poll option may be useful, to indicate "I don't think Breitling has any sense of directions anymore" :roll:

Haha! I tried to be as neutral as possible in the poll questions.

I voted #4, even though I will regret some discontinued models.

I must say that the new transocean is a classically good looking watch. Anyone agree?

I think Options 2 and 4 can confuse the matter (If I read it right) Breitling have been moving in this direction for a couple of years so one could answer 'no change' (4).

I dislike from now (2).

Depends how you read it.
