A fellow member (soundman) found this UTC on EBAY... I am wondering if it would look good on my TT Black dial Chronomat...
OPINIONS anyone? Is it something ORIGINAL or is it totally hideous...?

If the dial of the UTC was black and it was a bi-colour model it would look very good. But this combination..., nah. This one on Ebay should be much better but make sure it fit's : http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/BREITLING-UTC-M ... 240%3A1318[/b]

I'm with Gert on that one but this won't fit because it's 20 mm.

besides the words Breitling and Quartz, the only other "words" I understand is 20-18mm
My Chronomat is 22-20mm, I dont think it would be compatible... I beleive its for the older chronomat
(I already have one of those...pictured beside my SUB

I don't think that particular UTC is a good match for that watch. Needs the 2-tone with a white dial.

I also been looking for the UTC module. It is hard to find item. I might get the Co-Pilot module for mine.

It's another 20-18, but there's one just listed on Chrono24 for a reasonable price if anyone's looking - http://www.chrono24.com/en/search/index ... mresults=9

Somehow I am not too crazy about the new co-pilot;
mixing up Analog with Digital....not a great combination, for me at least.
I prefer the old UTC

A different color or none-matching UTC doesn't work for me either.

As for the Co-Pilot, I think it was a mistake. It would look good on some digital models but the price is just way over the top IMHO.

Yeah.. not digging the mixing of UTC colors and metals. Its gotta be 100% integrated or it looks out of place IMO.

Agree with the above. Wait for the right match. As for the co-pilot, i love it on the chronomat, although i can see why some would prefer not to mix analogue and digital... The price is a little stupid though... but as always, to each his own.

The new guy (Soundman) here...

I have to agree with the others that the metal and the dial should match so it looks completely integrated. I'm on my continued search for a UTC for my blue dial M1.
But even worse I've started scouring the internet for a yellow face Emergency with matching UTC.

I'm hooked...
