The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello Guys,

I am new to the forum. I am picking up a chronomat evo in about week or two...was torn between the steel bracelet with the silver face or the black one...this would be an everyday watch...any advice or recs are welcome. Thanks.

Have you taken a look at the Mother of Pearl face? It its AWESOME!! It is about $400 more however it really gives the watch a great look. One of coworkers had one on the other day and I could see it shinning from the other side of the room. I am thinking of getting one myself.

yea I thought about it but just not feeling it, although it looks sweet is a bit much for me

A black face Chrono Evo is on my wish list -- so I vote black. You can swtitch out the bracelet with a black leather strap for a whole new look as well.

The good news is, there's no bad choice -- they're both sweet!

true....good point also...for the straps is that something I would get from an AD or direct from breitling? how much is a black band? Thank you.

You get them, from AD. Price is varying from part of the World.

Hello veilsidegs3, I love my chrono evo and havn't taken it off since purchasing it two weeks ago except to sleep. You honestly will not regret purchasing this watch. The main reason I chose a leather strap and a white dial is because I wanted a watch that I could wear daily.

If you plan to use your evo as a daily wearer I would suggest a lighter dial. I can wear my evo with a blazer or shorts and a t-shirt and it still looks great. Maybe it's my own perception but I feel that darker dials are for evening wear or formal engagements.

yntl - my thoughts exactly also. I might jsut end up getting the silver face and then a leather band later on but definitely start off with the steel band first. Thanks for your opinion and nice pick up! [/list]
