I confess I haven't seen it, let alone tried it on, but if this guy's wrist shots are anything to go by, it's probably not my cup of tea. Granted, the guy is Asian, but even so. Just out of curiosity, Koz, what's your wrist size?

I can't wait to see one. But I have a feeling my bank acct won't like it.... I think I can pull it off as far as size. :lingsrock:

Probably just wonder what the f*ck you're talking about, like 69hdfl. But that's his problem. As long as you know what you mean, that's what counts. :wink:


The OP describes wearing a movement on his wrist and how good it looked and it's somehow "MY PROBLEM".......REALLY?. :shock:

That's the size of my wrist. I have trouble pulling off something as large as 44mm. Forget about anything bigger. But taste is subjective.

What's that... a colt?? :lol:

I think the GMT would look great on you. It's a beautiful watch but a bit too big... for some.

Thanks Peter! :D Yeah it does look like a colt on my freakishly large wrist. I do hope the GMT turns out great.

If I wasn't saving for a PAM312 I think I might go this direction, I know they are both two completely different watches but I really fell in love with the black dial. I should have tried on the white as well, if the black looked large the white might have been too much.

The watch definitely grows on you, I initially did not like the bezel at all.
I am going to see how it will wear vs the legende.

When "people" refer to the B01, most of us know they're talking about the Chronomat 01 (soon to be renamed the Chronomat 44, evidently), because it was originally called the Chronomat B01, and was the only Breitling model to feature "B01" in the name. The Chronomat GMT doesn't have "B04" anywhere in the name, so some might not make the connection that easily.


I'm getting your point Jackson but since it's a GMT it would obviously have a different caliber than the B01. So, no confusion for me. And if the thread was about the Caliber B04 and not the "SuperChronomat" it would have said so on the title. At least, that was my first thought but that's just me.
