I know many don't like this model, but it kind of grew on me. If you haven't tried one on, you're doing yourself a disservice.

That looks sharp. I've talked to George about this exact combination since they had 2 in stock and he echoed your words that this is a really nice looking watch. Congrats and wear it in good health.

If I was going for the B01, this is the one I'd get. Fantastic looking dial.

Congrats! 8)

Either way, it's a very cool watch. I can't wait to see one in person as I, like a lot of others, am not too big a fan of the bezel, but I hear it's looks different in real life. Congrats, BEB is a great color combination.

Very nice. The whole B01 has grown on me massively, so I'm slowly but surely becoming a fan.

Just thought I'd let ya'll know this B01 has been ± 0 seconds for 4-days now. I'm digging that!

What is all the whining about B01 in the watch forums? It's a stunner and this particular version is hands down the most desirable. That's the exact same model I would have chosen.

World is full of watches that simply copy eachother. Breitling had guts to be different with B01. Thanks for that.

Absolutely beautiful.

Enjoy. :lingsrock:
