Interested to know the WC opinion if you'd pick the old or go with the new (design)

There's a lot of really cool stuff going on with the new one, but my initial thought on seeing it was, is that a zodiac? The older version just has a great vibe of utility. 

·

@Bzilla agreed. I would take both if handed to me, but I'm more drawn to the older style. Was planning on one of the 44 yellow dial as a ruggered F you watch on those casual days. Was looking like everybody was leaning on the newer model but the tables seemed tohave tipped back 

·

Exactly what I was thinking at the start. Its pulled back a little now. The older style is the way I'd go

·

I have the previous version to the (old) model. I tried on both and liked the previous version more. Regarding  the latest model I have tried on 42 and liked it but I am waiting for the bronze to come in to the AD as the green dial looks amazing from the pics.

A bronze would be special for sure. 👍

I can see where your coming from but for me it's the older style for now. Maybe after a few drinks I'll move onto the new

I like the colors and more balanced dial of the new ones … but can’t get over that meat hammer looking seconds hand! 🔨

“Meat Hammer”🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s official. That’s what it is, no further submissions need to be entered.

The new one looks older 😉

I have the old one in 44mm. Glad I got it before they mucked it up.

·

So I didn’t like the new one in pictures really at all at first. Once I saw them in person, now I get it. 
 

I think both the old and new are great designs but they a fundamentally pretty different. 

·

I don‘t hate the old but prefer the new.

I bought the old version (44mm in Yellow) because I dig the vibe.

The exact one I'm considering. Wear in good health

The minute hand on the new model is awful. I think they may have been going for a Tudor-snowflake hand vibe but they missed. Badly. 

·

I'm not feeling the new Breitling models at all.

·

I like the new version here, but I’ll be buying the SuperOcean Heritage
