OK . . . a few more very quick impressions, a few hours later:

• Fourth Impression – It really does look good, from the distance of eye to wrist . . . sits well on the wrist . . . Yes, I really do want one of these original Breitling Co-Pilots
• Fifth Impression – When will I possibly wear this watch? On what occasion? Maybe I need to stop throwing away money, in $200 increments.
• Sixth Impression – This thing is really well-built for the price. Case looks good; rotating bezel, with clicks for each hour, is strong. Really good attention to detail for $200.
• Seventh Impression – Would this be a fun way of introducing the newbie to the look and feel of a vintage watch? Or could someone wear this, to see whether they really want to drop $10,000 on the original vintage Breitling? Not so sure about that? What about the millennial wanting to buy his or her “first real watch”, and walking into the mall with a $200 budget. Why not offer something that mimics (copies??) one of the all-time classic designs, rather than another $200 mall watch that another millennial just drew on a white board?
