Uck I hope not!

I am full of cold tonight so feeling slightly sick, but if they put that on a 'bb' it's going to be messy.......

Cartier Santos XL is interesting, no diamonds and no ten year old pics. anyone got one?

Actually, this combo is a great looking one indeed IMO. And I especially like that bezel. It would compliment the B01 bezel very nicely. I do hope that they'll use it on other models as well.

As I've already said, patience my fellow members....

I can't believe they tooled up just for a temporary bezel..


And, I agree with you on this one Tom.

the only thing that catches my eyes is that ridiculous pearl.
it could be the most beautifull watch in the world, but that pearl would still make it look bad.

I don't know about others, but watches tend to look better (or at least different) to me when I see/see photos of watches "in the wild", so I'll hold on passing judgement.

I prefer this case to the polished evo case. I wish this watch had the old style rider tabs.

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate it and it all helps me get more info so I can make an informed decision on my next watch.

I looked at the new Omega PO since they really caught my eye. I was on the WUS Omega forum, however, the prices they'll charge for the blue version with Ti is crazy. The blue version is only made in titanium and costs a whole lot more:

Ti Planet Ocean: 6400 € $9,007.69 USD :shock: I believe Omega is really going after Rolex now with in-house movement and ceramic bezel, etc...

I think that I will really look at IWC as an alternative until I get to see the new Breitling models live...
