Picked it up today- steel, blue dial, Pilot bracelet. I feel giddy, can't stop glancing at my wrist. Of course, this is my first ling.

I would post a photo but in the FAQ, there's only a reference to providing a link to a public site where you keep photos. I see lots of great photos here embedded right in the posts. Anyone mind telling me where to find instructions on doing this?

Thanks. Mark

Congratulations on your first Breitling.
When you upload a picture onto a site such as Photobucket, it is stored on-line and given a link.
If you copy the link (the whole string...it will look something like this...
[img ]http://x123.photobucket.com/albums/xxx/yyyyy/DSx12345.jpg[/img][/img ]...) and paste the link into your new post on here, the picture will appear when you submit the post to the thread.

The Chrono Cockpit is amazing, love the Roman Numerals! Did you get the turquoise? I can't find one on the Breitling website with darker blue, only with the stainless/gold combo. The only blue with the stainless is the turquoise which really looks different, I would love to see it in person. I did see one with the bronze dial, and that really looked sharp.
Congratulations on the new watch! Bet ya can't go half an hour without looking at it!
Cheers,
Carl

Thanks for the image-posting information and for all the greetings. Here is a photo; I'll try for a better one when I can do a daylight picture without flash- I can't throttle down the flash on my camera.[img][img]http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh299/docmick1/breitling1.jpg[/img][/img]

Sweet watch. I love the roman numerals, and you gotta dig that Breitling blue!

Enjoy it in good health!

Beautiful Cockpit! I really do like those watches.. same size as the previous Chronomat, but updated with a new shape case and stuff. And I do love the Blue.. same color as my Evo! :)

That turquoise blue is outstanding with the silver "everything"! A very unique colour. Have fun!
Cheers,

Nice watch with the blue dial. Matches the roman numerals just nicely.
