Thinking about the Chronospace Jet Limited

Hello all, I recently saw the new ChronoSpace model and fell in love. I sold my Airwolf last week to make a place in the stable for a new watch.

I was planning on the Tungsten color dial on the mesh bracelet. This color:



I contacted my AD and I am lucky enough to have a knowledgeable, helpful dealer nearby in a tax free state. They just got the new Jet model which I had never seen or heard of. Its a limited edition of 1000 pieces and they have number 06XX/1000 in stock.

I must say that I like the look of it quote a bit. Now I need to make a decision. Some pro/con discussions.

Jet is limited edition. I do have a habit of flipping watches so hopefully it will hold value.

I love the Tungsten color in images but haven't seen one in person. I have seen other watches with that color dial and was on the hunt for a grey airwolf when I saw the Chronospace.

I was worried about the Jet with silver dial and silver hands. I don't own any silver face watches because I am afraid they are not easy to tell the time. Lets face it, this watch is not made for easy time viewing, like most Breitling models! I was happy to see that the chrome hands seem to have good contrast with the dial. The silver dial is almost a white cream color actually.

The Jet is about $100 more so no biggie.

I was able to negotiate a nice discount on both models. I was worried the Jet would not be discounted, but I got the same % off for either.

I think I like the look of the little jet and logo on the dial. In truth I think the large 9-3 on the dial might be too much.

Anyone want to chime in with an opinion on this decision. In the end I will go look at them and make my own choice but I wanted to hear from you guys. Are the Breitling limited editions anything special? I think the Omega limited edition pieces are not so special myself because they seem to have several every year. (no offense to owners please!) But you get my meaning I think.

Here are some pics I stole from Google:
