Nice one Colin! If my experience of trying on the new Chronomat the other day is anything to go by, you will LOVE it! :thumbsup:

Thank you all,I’ve tried one on before and it’s a special watch.However I’ve been after a Breitling gold watch for quite a while so hopefully I like the silver with gold.
I’m very confident I will.

Well been a very good day,went down to Andrew Michael’s Watches a 45 minute journey.
Very excited on my way down,and the watch did not dampen my enthusiasm.
First thoughts on wearing was the watch felt bigger than a 42mm,I would say more like a 44mm.
For mr there’s just enough gold on the watch,bracelet is excellent and I have manage a good fit with 2and a half links out. Don’t think I will have problems with it pulling on my hairs on my wrist as I have none. find the dial and hands very legible.Looking forward to seeing the lume.
Overall one happy owner.
A little note just to praise the team at AMJ watches,excellent service as always and I would like thank them once again.
