The thing that I think has thrown me off a bit (and I may still be trying to put my finger on it), on these new Debaufre dial designs is the Debaufre "Sun" on the dials above the Debaufre name and some of the additional dial circles (with contrasting textures). 

I think that I may be interpreting these dial designs as visually "less classic" and more "fashion watch" in design, but at the same time I think it may have something to do with the graphics I am looking at.  I would love to see some true to life shots under outdoor lighting as I know that these Debaufre designs always have more of an impact in real life (I know that I appreciated my Csar even more in person!!!hand6.gif).

The different hand set that Debaufre is using on these new ones is starting to grow on me.hand6.gif

I will keep looking at these though...I do know that I really like the Debaufre brand...they are a tremendous value for the dollar and a quality piece at any price...just very, very well made watches!!
Bullseye, Chris! There's something about that "sun" that doesn't seem to fit the overall look of the watch and the profile of its character. But then again, they might be trying something new...
