I think the TT B01 with the Romans looks awesome, the only issue I have withe the Roman Numerals on the B01 is that there are 3 different styles of font on the watch, the sub-dials, the Roman Numerals and the Buck Rogers font on the bezel. Still looks sick though.
I think that Roman numerals generally look classier, and that white dial B01 is a beaut.


Actually, there are 4 different styles, 'cause the date is different as well :!: :)

I know someone selling that exact Two Toned Rose Gold B01...it's the first Two Toned watch that I actually like....well I love it actually... and I'm seriously considering trying to get it from him. I think it looks spectacular with the rose gold bezel and gold roman numbers. Very very nice!


Actually Sergio, if I may, this not a Two-Tone B01, but a Steel & Gold one. And I'm really glad you like the gold roman numerals because most here prefer the batons.

Here is my Two-Tone B01 with gold roman numerals but a Pearl dial, even though the pics are not ideal to see the TT bezel.

Thank you Sergio, most kind. I have always loved roman numerals on watches but since I joined this forum, I realized I was part of the silent minority because most guys here are baton-fans.

No problem on that though, that is just me and it's maybe because I am a pretty "conservative" guy.

sorry for poor pics


Beautiful RRM, I really like that blue dial AND the gold contours of the sub dials.

That is the reason I hesitated a lot when I chose mine because despite the gold numerals, it was not possible to have those gold contours with the Pearl dial. It seems that it is a matter of thickness of the dial.

But I generally love the blue Breitling dials (ex. Navi, Chronomat or Steelfish).

Actually...its a black dial.
I stink at taking pictures. Those pics dont do the watch justice!

Picked up the mag today (as I always do) and I must admit it's a really good issue. Lots of Breitling (obviously - pertaining to the three pages of posts prior :wink: ) and a great article on Bremont also. Best issue for a while for me. Thanks for posting Fear, although I didn't read your posted articles, the reminder that the magazine was out helped.
