Pity it could not have been done without the logo. But there again it would not have been a jet team celebration, would it!

I actually don't mind it! :oops: (Well, it's OK from the front anyway : the caseback is utterly hideous!)

But then again (and I'm not sure why I'm confessing this on here!), but I tried on the Chronomat Raven (the orange and DLC extravaganza) and I actually really liked it on the wrist. What's happening to me!!!!!!!! :shock:

I felt the same way when I say it Driver. In person I can see this looking pretty nice, but I would have loved to see the same display back as the Raven. It's still not something I could see myself buying, but I've seen a lot worse.

I actually like the black and yellow combo as well. I wouldn't shell out the money personally to buy it as there are other things I like much better, but I think it's pretty cool looking.

Couldn't agree more. I don't actually mind the yellow, and think the LE is the better version, but I'm not sure I could ever see myself wearing it. And yes, the casebook is ridiculous IMO.

It seems that everyone thinks the caseback is hideous but let's keep in mind that they are celebrating the Jet Teams 2015 tour of the United States. On the case back they have managed to include the USA's flag colors and our national bird. So I can understand where some people outside the USA may not go for it but I think it looks damn good!

I realize that this is a global forum, so I would not expect someone from outside the USA to necessarily appreciate the case back but it was done for a specific purpose and not meant to appeal to everyone!

Ditto. When I finally saw the Raven in person, I actually thought it was pretty darn cool. I would bet the same for the new Jet Team Chronomat.

I think it looks damn good with the yellow numbers! But I must control myself...

Beautiful in all black. (other than the 70's arcade numbers on the bezel, which I still haven't gotten used to) Good looking watch.
