The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have been wanting a rose gold watch for a while. My ad just got a corc band with rose gold bezel black face with roman or do I get black stainless no rose gold with a brushed bezel I need help. I have a two tone new submarier with black face and a new gmtII black face stainless
More input the better thanks
Bree

i say go with the rose gold! i bet it looks even better in person.

@Brett - I've deleted your duplicate thread in the General forum as it's one thread per topic please.

In terms of rose gold or not, I don't have a preference either way as gold is more dressy while SS looks more clean and functional IMO. However I would personally not buy a B01 with Romans as I think the contrast between the bezel font is way too much. I also think the Romans look very cramped on the dial. Batons are the way to go with the B01 IMO. The rose gold bezel with the black dial and batons looks very good. That'd be the way I'd go I'd I was after a TT watch.

. I don't care for the B01 with romans, the batons are clean and IMO give it a classy overall appearance. I am also not a fan of having gold on my watches, so I would choose the SS with a brushed bezel for sure.

I've played a lot with TT B01s and have realized that gold bezel on a SS case is not for me. I'd go for a full rose gold B01, with a nice croc, if it was me. Much more expensive, but I know for myself I wouldn't be satisfied with a TT.

I love Roman numerals on watches, especially on the Chronomat Evolution BUT I absolutely hate it on the B01, as Driver said, it looks way too cramped. Batons is definitely the way to go with the B01. I'm not a fan of the two tone; it either needs to be all rose gold or all SS IMHO.

Good luck.

The numbers on the bezel are arabics and pronounced. I just don't like a combination of Romans and Arabics. I looks confused to me.

Ok last thought I'm going with roman onyx dial black croc strap
Now just help with rose gold bezel or not get all stainless
I have tt new submarine and gmt 2 rolex all stainless
Thanks

I had very similar questions prior to picking up mine as you did.
I went with Black dial, roman, rose bezel. See pics.

Here is the problem with this watch - it is not that versatile. For me it isnt that much of a problem because I have 9 watches in the rotation.
Beautiful watch.

Email or PM me of you have any questions. I went through your dilemma!
And congrats!

Had the same questions asked before choosing mine. And it was hard to give the answers.

Since there are way too many black dials around (something proven by a poll about 3 months ago), I wanted something different, even though the black Onyx dial is very beautiful, especially with the rose bezel. But I have to admit that the Mirage red dial, also with rose bezel, and croc strap was also really tempting.

Antartica white is too "white" for me, so all it was left was the Sierra Silver or the Pearl dial to chose from.

So, I finally went for the TT Pearl dial and croc strap. And roman numerals. That way the numerals really stand out, compared to a rose bezel IMHO. But, I do not exclude to change my bezel with the rose one when my first service is due.
