Good looking watches. It's funny -- take away the registers, and their "train tracks", and the watch gets much calmer / more relaxed.

: certified. 43mm of diameter. Absolutely beautiful elegant-sports

: So what do we think of this one? Breitling and Heuer were
: friendly rivals in the 1960s . . . How will they do in the
: re-issue / re-inspiration / classics / homage competition, in
: 2018?
