I felt the same, I started collecting a couple more years before you and did not look at Breitling for the same reason you mentioned. Its amazing how George Kern took over Breitling as CEO just about 5 years ago and rejuvenate the brand and doubled the sales! I was planning to get the Omega SMP but ended up with the new 42mm black Superocean with rubber strap. Although it lacks in the movement department compared to the SMP but the thinner profile and shorter lug to lug wears better. The micro adjustment on the clasp vs pin buckle seals the deal!

I don't like Breitling's use of AR coating on the outside of the crystal. It gives off that yucky AR hue, and will scratch up pretty badly over time. Keep it on the underside only.

So they make smaller watches now is what you mean to say? I look back at the designs of previous models, and aside from the premier line, I don’t see a major difference in design language, but somehow everyone keeps talking about this big rebirth of the brand. I love breitling and always have, I just don’t see the big dramatic change in the company everyone claims to have seen.

I really like the New breitling collection.
My favorit is the 43 mm. Navitimer with the ice blue dail.
I am on a waiting list the purchase one. I can't wait.:)
