I had been on the fence about picking up this B01 Limited and finally gave in. I called both of my ADs I buy from on a normal basis about it. My first AD said not a chance, they are all gone and that is was not even worth calling BUSA. My other AD they said pretty much same, but she actually called Breitling for me to double check. Low and behold, Breitling had one left in Switzerland and the rest is history :lingsrock: I am in absolute total awe of it. I love my Chrono Avenger Ti but it will be playing the bench for a while now. I am loving everything about this piece, from the subtle Red against the Black Dial, the Satin finish Breitling does so well that still has a POP :wink:, and then of course their new inhouse movement. I wished I would have purchased this one before the last price increase and before Breitling cut Dealer margins very recently. Breitling is making it rough on me personally in their new direction with the inhouse movements and HUGE price increases :!: I have probably bought at least 20 to 25 Brand New Breitlings over the past few years from my ADs, but now I just can't see myself spending this much on Breitlings on a regular basis. Change is great but spending 8k to 10k on Breitlings is a lot of cash to drop at one time and on one watch :roll: I had promised myself that I was going to stick to the old Breitling I know so well and love but I could not hold out any longer on this killer piece. This one just kept calling my name :lol:

She arrived yesterday and had to take some shots or I should say lots of shots.....

+1. I noticed them standing out in the photos as well and liked them too.

This is the nicest Chronomat B01 and it looks great on you. I love the display back.

Great photos.

I know my AD still has these available, actually I believe he has a few of them.

Wow! Yeah my AD had a couple at one time while I was on the fence and they sold while I was pondering it. I should have picked one up a while back when they were cheaper and more readily available.
