I think the blue and black Navitimer looks way better in that shot than in the Breitling site. Very cool!

Okay...IMO, the Chronomat 38 is now the sharpest mechanical chrono I've ever seen. Perfection! Feminine? WTF?

Chronomat 38 looks very Classic Breitling IMO. Personally tossed up on the black superocean 44 on bracelet or Colt Chrono Automatic on blue rubber. Hopefully they'll be hitting Govberg soon, so I can pull the trigger shortly.

I've got to agree Matt. Looking very interesting and this Ace shot does it more justice. It's a crazy colour combo, but that's what I like.

Thank you for posting Fred.

Thanks for the wrist shots.

The Navitimer Blue sure looks a lot better here than in press pics.

My favorites are the Unitime and Colt Automatic Chrono. However, there's many other Breitlings that I'd buy before either of those.

I have to say, I know it goes against a lot of the brand's identity, but I'm really liking the smooth bezel option.

I love the Chronomat 38 but agree with someone who said that it should have a different name. I don't think it fits well into the Chronomat lineup with the bezel. But i love the watch. 40-42mmm would make it even better.

I agree, although I still think it's not very good looking
