Hit up my sort of local AD yesterday. They had the store set up differently since my last stop. Nice dedicated sections of the store for Breitling, Rolex and Cartier. Seems the other store down the street lost it's Rolex agreement and they swooped in. Lots of nice looking "R" pieces but did not try any on. The 42mm Explorer II hits all the right buttons.

I did try on a Breitling Transocean Chrono, TO Unitime and LE Chronomat GMT. The LE Chonomat was simply stunning in person, but seemed gigantic on my wrist, the bracelet was like butter. The Unitime was a super nice fit at only 1mm smaller, but really felt geat the mesh bracelet was lighter than expected. They had both steel case and rose gold but both black faces. The black face did not do it for me wished they had white. The real winner was the TO chrono white face black subs on croco band with deployment. Man that felt like it was made just for my arm. The wife thought it looked great too...not enough to give me the nod to buy it :(

I was looking on line today and saw a Blue LE TO chrono. Did a quick search here and did not see anything mentioned about it. I am typically late to the game on new offerings anyone seen a blue TO chrono in person?

Radcliffe in Pikesville is a Rolex AD now?? Oh...that's bad. I can actually say I'm happy to see J Brown lose it. What a rude bunch with no knowledge of their product. They (J Brown) once informed me that they couldn't sell me a Breitling leather strap without seeing the watch and serial number. "That isn't how they're sold." Good for Radcliffe. They have always treated me very well whether I was buying or looking.

Yes it was Radcliffe. They have always treated me very fairly. Why bad??? Is there now a new watch in your future now? The new set up with the watches in front is nice. Never been in J. Brown. Does not sound like I am missing much.

The 214270 Explorer speaks to me.... It has voices.

Yes, I did. It was in one of the Breitling Boutiqhes, either in Beijing or Hong Kong, can't remember now which one.
The actual colour is quite a bit darker in real life than in the promo pictures.
Quite nice but as D8 said in the other post, the black with the white subdials is the best.
But than again, I have to say that ;-)

Agree that of the 3 LEs black face white subs is the best. The standard white/black is pretty nice too.

He may have been there but I have always worked with a guy named Todd. He spent some time with my wife and me...not sure what Erik looks like. They also have at least two stores. I was in Pikesville the other is in the mall in Towson.

You're just jealous because the voices speak only to him.
