Post subject:  Have Yourself a Rose Gold Christmas
It took me awhile...and a lot of deliberation, but I finally picked up my first Rose Gold watch!!! A Breitling B01 with my favorite Rose Gold Roman Numerals. I had to part with a grail...one which I coveted for quite some time, but I couldn't be happier with this pick up.

I never noticed before but Breitling re-designed the clasp and the microc adjustment holes are now GONE. A minor design change but one that I really appreciate. The Rose Gold doesn't show up well in photos; I was very concerned it would be a yellowish color but it's actually a beautiful copper/yellow-like color. I love the contrast between the gold and black dial. I'm really happy to have Breitlings first in house watch....this will be the start of my Breitling comeback I think.

I think the photos show it well, but I bet it's even better in person.
Nice watch!

Beautiful watch Sergio!! This really gives you a different look from everything else in your collection. I sure would like to see a brown croco strap on that bad boy... :poke:

So describe the clasp. How are micro adjustments done?

I like that, just not a fan of gold so wouldn"t wear it myself, great pick-up, I think it would look sharp on a brown croco as well 8)

On the older clasps there are holes on the side of the clasp for you to make a micro adjustment. On the B01 clasp it's solid (like Rolex) and it uses and internal spring bar to make the adjustment.

No ice for me ...no ice.

That's the same as at least some Bentley.

Very nice-- love the Roman numerals on the dial on this model, really unusual. Nice balance of elements and sub-dial placement. Congrats and enjoy-- let us know how accurate the B01 works out for you! :D

That is impressive. I would want to see it in the flesh. Have many years of enjoyment and post more photo's. Actually, I would love to see a group shot of your collection.
Best health, Frank

I think ALL the Bentleys had this feature for the last couple of years. It's hard to see because of the reflection but the micro-adjustment holes don't go all the way through the clasp. As a matter of fact, it took me a few months to find out they were there.

Beautiful watch by the way!!

Edit: Sergio, your signature looks much better with the two-tone in it.
