Guys I am so pumped I now have my first 2 Breitling time pieces. Bought it used. But it is in great shape. For some reason my camera will not take the closeup pics I want, but I am working on getting some pics.

They are Chronomat GT MOP SS, and Colt Auto black face.

Couple of questions.

1. What is the water resistance on this unit? None, Swim, Shower?

2. I am going to get a Black croc band with deplyant for it for more casual wear. Is the a specific tool to use to change bands? If so, can you point me to a link for one?

Thanks so much to all of you guys for the input and great information on my purchases.

John

Water resistance is 100m for the Chronomat GT and 500m for the Colt Auto. Explanation of WR ratings here - http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles ... ance.shtml

To change bracelet / straps you need a Bergeon 6767F available from www.watchtool.co.uk. You will also need thicker springbars for the strap. Video on how to change straps by Admin is here - http://www.breitlingsource.com/video_ar ... p%20Change

Thanks for the quick response. I am sure other questions will arise as time goes on.
