Well it's not the nicest looking watch in the world, but (and it pains me to say it) I'd take that over a red rubber bezeled Skyracer or CM49 any day of the week.

Nah, someone from Breitling wouldn't use red stitching.

It is ugly as sin though.

It's really not that ugly. I like the dimension to the dial. The strap has to go.

You think - I thought that the strap was the best bit :shock:

The 12 and 6 really blow it for me, along with the 'varnished red' finished which looks decidedly pink at a shallow angle apparently. If you have to explain to everyone that you aren't wearing a pink watch I think it would get tiresome!

Thats some borderline Buck Rogers font on the rehaut. But yeah, thats a pretty ugly watch. Take out the red and the giant numbers on the crystal and its not so bad.

I'm not sure how I didn't notice the 12 and 6 before. That's really ugly and distracting. I think the crystal should always be clear.

BTW - pink is the new black. :lol:
