Saw this one with a black-eye-gray dial at the AD yesterday and it, and yours, look awesome. If it wasn't too long, I don't think I could resist the urge.

(also saw the black dial Unibomber and it wasn't quite as bad as the pics - now there's a resounding endorsement. But the technology of the rotating rings being part of the dial and controlled by the one crown insread of the inner bezel, was pretty amazing. I held it and size-wise, it's a monster)

I wish manufacturers would start listing length along with diameter. (hold all jokes) IMO length is more important than diameter. I have a 46mm IWC and a 43mm IWC right in front of me and both are the same length. My 42mm is the same length as a 40mm Rolex Sub/GMTc.

The brushed bezel makes all the difference, and the thinner numerals on the bezel means that it appears less-Buckified to me compared to the standard Chronomat 01. Nice one. :thumbsup:

Very nice!

This is my dream watch on a pro diver 2 strap, but still unsure which dial I like?

Quick question on the bezel, does it have 60/120 clicks so you can also use it as a minute marker?

All the best :-)

I just tried this watch on at the AD yesterday. I don't think you can use it as a minute marker. There seem to not be enough clicks to get an accurate reading.

Im not sure what dial I like either. Its a tough call!

It has 24 clicks. It's meant to mark the hours for GMT hand, and serve as a 3rd time zone.

How does this watch compare in size to a Avenger Seawolf? The Seawolf is my only other Breitling. I am trying to decide on the Chronomat GMT versus the Chronomat 44 GMT and I am not sure which size to go with.

Lovely that GMT, i think GMT's in general are becoming more popular.
