Maybe I'm getting too old and it's time to step aside and make room for the younger enthusiasts who are obviously finding these attractive otherwise Breitling would not be making them.
I'm with you on that one Wessa.

I don't mind the black color of the DLC/PVD cases, in fact I think it looks good on a lot of watches (as do black ceramic and carbon cases). The part that I have trouble with is the wear the DLC/PVD coatings show, and on an expensive piece it is hard to accept for me. If it was a watch I knew I was going to keep for a long time I won't worry about it, but it really hurts resale short term.
I like the look of this all black Chronoliner with the black sub-dials, but at 46mm and it's price, not for me. I like the full length lumed hour markers, wish they would make an 01 Navitimer with these or fully lumed arabics like they did on the A23322 (still hoping).
I agree with both comments. While I don't necessarily mind the black DLC color on some pieces, the sheer number of them now is nauseating. The absolute best thing I can say about this model is that the black case combines well with the white markings however it just doesn't work for me at all. I do however like the Chronoliner itself, which is why I find it a shame.
