Love that mesh bracelet? I have been looking at them and I love the simplicity.

That maroon looks great. I'd be interested in one for sure.

Ok, I'll be the first...

I'd pass on this one. The thing I like about the Breitlings is... well, I'm having trouble putting my finger on it, but I REALLY like the BCE. I like the SFSO also, just not as much (but I have both).. but I'd prefer my UPO to this. That's not to say this isn't a great watch, it just doesn't represent what I like about Breitlings...

My sentiments exactly. When you say Breitling you don't exactly picture a sub. It's usually a busy looking watch with millions of functions that you probably won't use but looks cool. :wink:

I very much like the mesh band, but the watch itself looks too much like the offspring of a Lolex and an Omeeega. I prefer my Breitlings busy and full of functions I never use. :lol:

They look even better in person than in the pics. They are too big for me, but I think they are one of the best looking in the current lineup.

Yeah, but check it out, no crown guards for the rep factory to screw up!!! LOL!

Yeah, I agree. Too much Omega/Rolex look in this one. Even the bracelet on the blue one is very much vintage Omega Seamaster-style.

Good looking watch though, but not very original or "Breitlingesque".

I think the fact that it is not very "Breitlingesque" makes me actually like it :) Same reason I like the SFSO, but not the BCE.

Planet Ocean rip-off, plain and simple, right down to the arrow on the hour hand. Don't like the crown or mesh bracelet either.

Eh? Isn't this based on a really old Breitling?

If it's a rip-off of anything, it's of a Blancpain 50 Fathoms. :D

Yep,,,just like the IWC GST Aquatimer. Does not really have a personality of its own. As By-Tor said,, not really Breitlingesque :lol:

to be honest this is the first time Breitling has appealed to me :X
SFSO, Bentley, etc are all "too busy"

you know what I mean? I like subtle elegance, subtle bling if you will

this has a nice 'understated' (if you can call it that) appeal and I know for sure I got my eyes on the blue one..

rep available? :) yes, I know, I'm impatient, lol but I know what I want and I want it NOW!

Yes, its based on the original SuperOcean, but IMO it draws much more influence from the Planet Ocean than it's own relative. Note the shape of the 3 & 9 markers, the orange version, size. I'm not denying that the heritage, but I'm positive that this model has been rehashed to capitalize on the success of the PO.
