Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

My Rolex AD is also my local source for Breitling. This is kind of calling me as a half step to the solid rose gold Yachtmaster. I've wanted to get one now that Breitling has solved some past things I did not like with my previous one. I see this as a watch that also solves some of my issues with the Black Bay, but adds a few of its own. Plus is it gives me the same movement as the newer BB. So it kind of kills 2.5 birds with one stone.

I kinda like it. I'm not really fond of two-tone or Breitling but this works.

Tis a handsome watch for sure. Lack of numbers on the rotating bezel is a bit silly but hey

This just leaves me with questions. Why add those extra details to the outer edge of the dial? Why make the bezel grooves bigger and busier? And why use conventional numbering on the bezel? Why not stay true to the quirky reversed numbering of the original bezel?
Personally, I want reissues because I want a vintage style, but without the worries of vintage ownership and I want a modern size. If you want a 35mm vintage-style watch, why not just get a vintage watch?

On a related note, I love the look of fauxtina watches until I realize they're fauxtina watches. Instead of paying extra for something that looks old, why not just get the one that IS old? It's both the original AND cheaper! I love my vintage pieces.
Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

The new IWC with half faux-tina drives me insane.
