Whoa, looks like I'm in the minority here, but that red strap is just too....well...... er... RED for my tastes!! :shock:


I've got a pair of Tag glasses, the arms are the exact same red, the ocean racer strap would go down a treat with the glasses! Mind you that does sound a bit girly!

No not colour-blind... I was just trying to annoy you guys a bit. :)

I thought I was going to flash a pic of the coral SO with a red Ocean Racer strap on, but the red strap seems to have disappeared from the Japanese fitting site. Too bad. Or maybe not.

I'm within a few months from getting to pull the trigger again. I'm now torn between the old style or the new batons.

Yeah it's about time you pulled that trigger again Brian! :wink: We were getting concerned your trigger might've been getting rusty! :lol:

No seriously, whatever SA you choose it'll be a great piece.

A most interesting thread....I am amazed how diverse the views on the new dials are....and probably why Breitling is continuing both styles.

A question to ponder....which face style would look better with metal bracelets and which with leather???????

Can't say I am partial to the new style....but color me more traditional I guess....the red racer....ahhhhh I don't think so...but it would definitely get noticed.

Good discussion

I'll be purchasing based solely on getting one that is as different from my Emergency Mission as possible. I have a white dial with numbers, therefore going with a blue or black with batons. :)

And then I guess, to make it more different, you'll strap it with that new lime-green calf strap (taken as most people don't like the red Ocean Racer...)?

:wink:

The batons are growing on me, at first I didn't like them at all.

I really like the same-coloured subdials, maybe that's why I'm starting to like the batons - these things all seem to give the face a cleaner look, especially in the black. This enhances the red highlights too, as others have pointed out.
