Dont know where it is on the scale, but MOP and brown croco sounds nice. Can we get some pics?

Oh, and the pilot is expensive...as in like $1000. You should try to find one on the sales forum here or one of the other watch sites.

Welcome!

It sounds like you've got a great watch coming. I'd love to see pics when you have them. A Chronomat (Evo) would, if you prefer to use the "Ling Scale" as it's mentioned every now and then on the forum, be 3/4 Ling (as it is just a bit too small regarding case and lug width) when on a bracelet. However, most people here don't take that scale too seriously. What matters is that you like it!

Welcome to the forums, and congrats on the first Breitling. The Chronomat is a very nice piece, and the MOP dial is very classy. You already have instructions on the pictures when it arrrives. :lol:

Where abouts in Kent are you? I grew up and spent the first 25 years of my life there (except for a brief 12 month spell just across the border in Crowborough).

Instructions for posting pictures are here - http://breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=453

I know Bean, though not well. Grew up between Chatham and Maidstone. Came to Canada for a long weekend and forgot to go back :lol: Just fell in love with the place (and the cost of living) and the ability to own 90 acres of property on a lake didn't hurt :wink:
