Different things to different people. Daveys version is exactly the same as mine except mine is on tan leather. Must admit, I have never worn it anywhere near water (except in a glass at dinner) nor ever driven with it in full sunshine, so I would not know the pros and cons of this.

I just think that when I am wearing my SR it takes me back to my youth, for some unexplained reason. Perhaps it's my second childhood! I just think it's different enough to be special and my one gets a lot if wrist use because it's also versatile for many more occasions. Pitt they stopped making it.

I have a 2008 Skyracer, all stainless steel like the one pictured above by damnfoolman and also own a 2008 Rolex Deep Sea. I love them both. The Skyracer has a more interesting dial and the Deep Sea uses materials not found on Breitlings and built for the water. They are hard to compare, so you should go with the timepiece that sings to you. By the way, I would go with the timepiece that has all the paperwork and make sure to find out the last time they were serviced. In both cases, an overhaul of the timepiece can set you back another $650 for either timepiece.
