Post subject:  New Breitling B01

Newbie to Breitling, I have been a Rolex person for the last 15 plus years and finally decided to try something new. I have had my eye on the B01's for some time and after several months of looking and doing research I pulled the trigger on a B01 (black/with white sub dials). I have had the watch for about 2 weeks so far, but from the first time I tried one on in the AD I could feel the solid build of these watches. The watch seems to be running very well and I am enjoying it so far. I bought it with a pilot braclet and a rubber strap, I put the rubber strap on for our vacation, the fit of the rubber stap is very comfortable. Looking to add a black croc band as we get closer to winter to change the look. Thank you everyone who contributes to this site as it had alot of valuable information when I was doing my research for a new Brietling. I apoligize in advance for the bad photo, I will try and get some better ones up later.

Nice watch! I was the same way, 35 yrs with a sub, never seriously considered buying another high dollar watch, but the B01 just blew me away, and the in-house movement is icing on the cake. I think you will like the croc, I have the deployment and it is very comfortable.
I just have to remember to take mine off before I jump in the shower! long time habits die hard.

Congtrats on a great piece! I have the same dial you do and the bracelet/strap combo too. Did you get the tang or the deployant for the strap? I also have a black croc strap for it (w/deployant) and it looks very good. It's also a very sturdy strap, almost like a leather bracelet.

I've been a rollie man myself for many years as well, and I have no regrets about joining the brotherhood of B. Although, I still have my rollies and do use them from time to time. The lighter, slimmer style of rolex complements the bigger, more robust style of Breitling quite well.

Enjoy your piece and welcome to the squadron! :)
