If you're going to have a display back, they should spend a little more time finishing the movement.

Yup, guess that's why I haven't lusted for a display back - the watches in my price range don't really have the fancy finished movements. The GO and IWC you showed really do look nice. I would think Breitling could 'spiff up' their B01 a little more.


It's expensive and time consuming to finish a movement. Rolex, Breitling, and Omega are the top 3 in terms of annual production, it would take a lot of manpower and money to finish their movements like that GO I showed. With the exception of the new Omega 8300 and 9500, their movements are rather boring as well. I'd like Breitling to do a little something extra with their B01 movement if they're going to slap on a DB and call it an LE.

It's frustrating that Breitling continues to release LE's that only differ from the standard offering because of a display back. I wish they'd just decide which pieces should have display backs and start manufacturing them this way. They've totally cheapened the LE designation, as there's nothing especially unique about it or limited. I still see new Navi 01's sitting around at AD's.
