·I like the dial and the absence of a date display. Not crazy about the bezel or the "B" on the end of the chrono hand.

I quite like the platinum bezel but does appear a bit stark/simple?
The date is there, but you have to look hard to find it.
Quite clever the way they handled the date.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Give it a brown ceramic dial and I’ll buy it.
Edit
oh wait the ice blue is only on the plat? Sorry I’ll buy the real thing.

Obviously, I spoke too soon. It is clever, and I think unique, the way they handled the date. I like it.
But I still don't like the bezel. I know that is classic Breitling DNA, but it's not for me.

·Interesting that they went back to the Rouleaux bracelet. Makes me think of a TT Chronomat I used to own.

·I never liked the design cues of the Chronomat line, nor that bracelet At close to $10k it would be a very hard pass. Dial color is nice, but not orig idea.

Well, not in the strictest sense of the word unique, but in such a fashion that is not as obtrusive on the dial as many other brands can make it. I guess tucking it away in the sub dial takes my fancy.

·This is such a quintessential '80s/'90s Dad watch that you either have fond memories of seeing them (and want one yourself) or you absolutely loathe them. There seems to be no middle ground.
