    The 1970 looks really cool, would you have to pay vat or duty when it gets to the uk ?

    Sorry, just found it,

    The entire range is really tasteful, not one duff design among them. I do wish they went with a 12-hour chronograph movement in the "1963", though I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate the 1/20 second functionality ... which Miyota used to execute in combination with the running seconds, however, leaving one of the three counters free for the 12-hour display. I find it a real shame that they chose to omit the date, particularly considering the fact that the movement, the Miyota 6s20, has that functionality and that the new Autavia features it, too. You might think it silly, but I'd hate the thought of the date being set to the wrong day under the dial, I just know it would bother me to no end. Still, these have to be among the best looking designs in this price bracket, my hat's off to the company in this regard.

    I'd love to see some real world pictures and your thoughts on it when it arrives. It looks great on the website that's for sure, superb value too

    Surely you mean 'Breitling AVI 765' for $230

    Surely you mean a China made quartz watch for 230?

    Defiantly looks more like a Breitling than a Heuer

    Wish they would make up their minds on name placement it’s different on every model

    Wash them in a hot cycle and then tumble dry, should shrink them a little?

    Nice looking watch, looks like a sandwich dial? 42.5mm isn't too bad for a Chrono.

    Oh found a review on it
