B01 LE for mine(sorry no pics yet). Generally I do tend to pay a little more attention to LEs as they do appeal as more special to me. However there are too many LEs out there so it gotta depend on which LE to see if it is worth drooling after. I personally prefer LEs that are closely related to the classic range. Because classic range are those that are being offered for a long long time so the "timeless appeal is there" and with LE it's like you get to have a "timeless range" but yet special with not too many people having the same piece as you. Don't really like logo LEs, like those that are meant to commemorate something, unless that "something" is of special significance to me. If I can only have just one watch I will hope to have a LE one;)

The B01 LE is a watch that I would love to own, it's just a little too costly at the moment for me. Beautiful piece though.

Wow Justin! Perks of being in the business huh? Very nice!


Perks of working with the best damn AD in the business! I'm fairly certain that not all 50 have sold so if anyone is looking for one, you may even be able to get the number you want.

Oh, man... none of mine are LE, (although I still have yet to ever meet anyone else that has the co-pilot module) but ALL of your watches in this thread are absolutely beautiful.

Tomorrow I'm gonna see the chronospace LE for the 787 Dreamliner. I saw a photo if it and wasn't that impressed, but might be different in real life. 75 pieces were made for this aircraft.

MattC saws yours a few days back in the "WWYWT" thread and really liked it. I'm typically not thrilled with two tone, but yours 100% works. Great strap choice as well. That 125th White SuperOcean with black sub dials has been a favorite of mine since the first time I saw it. LEs in general make me take a second look, but they still have to be special. I'd never buy one just because it was a LE. I love Justin's GBurg LE and at only 50 all the better. My only LE looks amazingly close to natesen's Code Yellow except for the strap :wink:

Here ya go:

I do love that code yellow Avenger you and Natesen both have, and it looks great on the bracelet or the strap. I also love his Omega meteor dial, but I think it would wear too small on my wrist.

I have a couple of LE's by other manufacturers but my only Breitling LE was my long gone Bentley Le Mans. Although there were 1000 made, that was split over three dial colours so each colour is more rare than the 1000 would suggest. What I really liked about it was that it was very different to the standard Bentley Motors - different dial, different movement, different bezel (at the time) different caseback - all added up to a very special piece.

God knows why I typed "three" there as I know full well it was four. I put it down to age and advancing decrepitude. :? :wink:

Well spotted Roff. :thumbsup:

That was my poor attempt at humor. I bought Natesen's CY and found the correct bracelet from another forum member. Both great to deal people to deal with. I don't think it is said enough around here this really is a great community. So many places on the Interwebs is just yelling, boorish behavior, on-line d!ck measuring contests and the like. I really enjoy the civility and information here. Take the dress shoe thread this week, fantastic information in a less than arrogant manner. Only problem is this place costs me a lot of $$$ one of these days I'll win a raffle and feel like I got something for nothing. Sorry for drifting off topic.

No worries! I do remember reading you buying that a few weeks back. Looks great! I contemplated purchasing that one, but somehow talked myself out of it. It's #1 if I remember correctly. I definitely hear you on the expenses, I started dropping way more money after I joined this thread. Worth every penny though :lingsrock:
