I must admit that I'm not a big fan of the stencilled numbers. In 10 years the Arabic and Romans will still be timeless - I'm not sure the same will be said about the stencilled numbers.

Echoing Driver 8's comments - I hope Breitling don't go overboard by putting them on too many models.

Ditto, those drop shadows were a major turn off for me too. Maybe i'm too picky :?

I really like the stencils numbers, primarily because they add something new.

What I WON'T like is if they end up putting them on loads of models because they'll quickly lose their novelty value.


I think you're right, Driver. Let's hope the powers that be at Breitling possess
the same wisdom. :)

As 'The Colonel', I've got to go with the stencilled numbers. But even if I wasn't, I would. :wink:

My good man, Devin, has it in one; personal preference, for sure. The world would be all the poorer if everyone liked the same styles etc........Vive la difference....... and long may we discuss our differences.
