The December issue has quite a bit of info about Breitlings....more so than any other issue ive seen. They did a full review on the Montbrillant Olympus, a full review of the SuperOcean II, and then another in depth look at the B01 movement and facility. It was a good read.

Thanks Sergio,

You wouldn't know if we can get that over here without subscription?

I'm not sure if you can. I downloaded it on my iPad from the watchtime app. Works great and it has some interactive features which I like.

I saw it when I was picking up Watch Journal last night! By the way, Watch Journal usually has some interesting bits, but the Dec. issue is a big thumbs down!!

Some good watch "porn" but other than that, a little disappointing.

I know someone selling that exact Two Toned Rose Gold B01...it's the first Two Toned watch that I actually like....well I love it actually... and I'm seriously considering trying to get it from him. I think it looks spectacular with the rose gold bezel and gold roman numbers. Very very nice!

Actually Sergio, if I may, this not a Two-Tone B01, but a Steel & Gold one. And I'm really glad you like the gold roman numerals because most here prefer the batons.

Here is my Two-Tone B01 with gold roman numerals but a Pearl dial, even though the pics are not ideal to see the TT bezel.

Thanks. I scoured the internet (as im sure the rest of the ipad-less people here did) and couldnt find a copy. Any chance youd be willing to risk your freedom for the Superocean review?

Well, here is Mr. Girardin giving again the 25'000 number of movements produced (same figure was given earlier this year).

Since I doubt that there are 25'000 Chronomats or Navis B01 produced, that could mean only one thing: 25'000 movements may have been produced but not sold.

As for the 50'000-movement capacity, that is open for discussion.

It would be interesting to hear your opinions on this.
