Today I saw my first Breitling B01 in person- at the airport where I was picking someone up. Its smaller than I thought, but I still think its a very very nice watch. Anyway, today I saw a B01 but not with the traditional black type dial the color combo that we traditionally see people choosing with their Breitlings. It was different but I thought really nice looking watch. The dial was like a deep red with roman numerals and the bracelet was a black rubber bracelet. I thought it was a different type look, but it was really nice I must say. To be honest, I dont know how "Breitling" this color combo is ... but it was good. I should of taken a pic and posted, but didnt nevertheless I thought Id just write this and see if others have seen many of the different color combos on Breitlings.

The B01 is on my short list! I love the look and the bezel has really grown on me.

I finally saw my first B01 in person this weekend. I saw a 2 tone model and also the stainless steel with the MOP dial. Sorry, I just can't get over that bezel. The watch did nothing for me. At that price, there are several other watches I'd buy before that.

:yeahthat Sorry, that bezel is as attractive to me as a fat woman with small boobs. Of no conceivable use. But then, they get husbands and B01's find buyers. Different strokes... :?

I was originally looking to pick up a B01, and went to a local AD to check one out. I must say it is a very classy looking watch, a lot of bling factor. But after careful consideration I decided to go after a Blackbird. Not to say the B01 would'nt be a fine choice, it's just the Blackbird was more me.

It's all good right?

Tried one on tonight at my AD and it's a very nice watch. I prefer a little larger case size, but it looks very impressive on the wrist. Also tried on a Blackbird and you can't go wrong there either.

:yeahthat to both of them. I just can't deal with the bezel. A while back someone put up a picture with a diamond bezel that looked nice, but then the watch becomes way to expensive for what it is to me anyway. Shame because I like the rest of its styling, but still just to small for me. I say put the movement into a super avenger! :wink:
