Barnato 42 Midnight Carbon, LE of 1,000
Chronomat 44 w/MOP dial, LE of 250
I don't know if the Chronomat is limited to one country or the entire world.

Wow a Blacksteel, who would have thought  Like the black MOP, but it can't overcome that watch (for me), much prefer the black MOP evo. |

Guess they haven't run out of Blacksteel paint yet then.... To be honest (aside from it being ANOTHER Blacksteel model) I don't think that Bentley is that bad looking. Wouldn't buy one, but it's OK. The Chronomat looks too busy to me with the roman numerals anyway, so the MOP dial just makes too much "visual noise" on an already crowded dial IMO. Another no from me. |

I don't think the Barnato is too bad, but I don't think it's worth the premium for blacksteel. I like the MOP dial on the Chronomat, but I'm not a fan of putting it on a 2 tone model, especially with the roman dial. |

I like the shiny blacksteel models, and ive always liked black MOP. But overall, I dont really like either of these models too much. |

I was at the AD today dropping off an old chronomat for a crystal change. Turns out 50 Lings arrived that day and though they weren't unpacked, the owner wanted to get them out, 10 at a time, and look at them and discuss with me. First impression - at least half had rubber bezels. Did see some nice ones though. A white and a black dial chronomat 41. I must say I found them very very attractive, odd font and all. The size was just right. Also a black SOH42. Of everything Breitling did, this one is the most correct IMO. Putting that watch into a 42mm size makes it look dressynand classic. Quite nice.

Oh yeah - the boxes are the pits! As for the travel case, no concern with the larger pillow - this one compresses quite easily. So....there is that.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have been looking forward to seeing the 42mm SOH. Maybe it's Fred's influence, but I'm really getting into the classic look these days. |

It looks like a fake of itself. Unfortunate. I really, really like Breitling but I haven't seen something that really gets me in a while. |

There was concern that those of use with challenged wrists would never be able to use it since the former pillow was firm, without much give at all. But the new one has quite a bit of give, making it more functional IMO. As for the box, the owner of my AD was making the pitch it is a great look. I was having none of it.
