Well - I know some don't like this one. But I fell in love. Much more beautiful on than in pics. Hope some of you like it.

Some folks are just resistant to change. I think the B01 is a great looking watch! I hope they make a larger one someday. :lingsrock:

Congrats and welcome to the squadron! :)

I have the same model. I originally wanted another dial, but that one really won me over.

Hope you enjoy your watch..

I was at an AD this past Saturday and had a look at the B01 and to me, they look like a good timepiece to have in any collection. Obviously, each will have their own opinion and that will be hard to change :twisted:

I hope to get my own Breitling very soon... even though not as good, the Chrono Colt will do me fine for now :twisted:

Congrats on the acquisition.

Doesn't matter what others think - if you like it then it's the right watch for you.

maybe people didn`t understand what i said...i simply love the watch...the movement...the dial...the bracelet...just not the bezel the lume looks like it was taken from a fake and the number font is ugly, maybe a brushed bezel would look better... its my opinion but for the record i love the watch just a beauty

regards

Welcome to the B01 club, Joel. I have no doubt you'll love it even more as you begin to wear it. I can't say how awful it's been for me to be without mine for the past 6 weeks (at BUSA for service).

I'm really looking into adding the Chronomat B01 to my collection. I just can't get used to that square AR(?) patch in the center of the crystal. It looks like one of those peel-off protective stickers. :( Is it as noticeable to the eye, or just in pics? MY AD has yet to receive one.

I really like the square patch in the middle as I think it gives great contrast and attention. I wish a was a little bigger though, maybe 46ish.

that square in the midle is part of the dial design, not an effect from AR
