What are the differences, if any, between the B4B "6.75" and the newer "6.75 Speed"?
How can one tell the difference by looking at them?

As far as I am aware the only real difference is the detail around the sub dials, there is a chrome ring around them. And I from pics I have seen the 3&9 sub dial hands are swapped. It also has a different serial number. Other than that it's the same watch and both look very simular. There are pics of both and detail in the gallery on here.

I was a little hesitant to get the speed after seeing the previous version for so long, but I went with my gut and got it, and glad I did. I had a Blackbird before the 6.75 and can say I definitely like having the chrome around the subs better. The bezel seems right for the watch so I guess I wouldn't change that either. Definitely new over the old for me.

It's a beautiful watch, as many Breitlings are, but when I tried it on my wrist yesterday - it "sits" and feels odd due to the wheel on its back. Wish I could deflate that wheel :lol:

I guess everyone is different because if you didn't tell me the wheel was there, I wouldn't know it.
