The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Got the call today from my AD, and couldn't rush over fast enough. Apologies ahead of time for the terrible iPhone pics - they truly do this dial no justice.

I was immediately blown away by the dial color. "Mercury Silver" apparently has a soft, warm, bronze-ish or gold-ish hue to it that works fantastically with the brown croc.

As for size, it looks to me like it wears similar my IWC Portuguese, but definitely feels heavier.

Again, apologies for the quick pics and I will certainly try to get better ones with a real camera. Along with a more thought out review, once I've has some time to let this one sink in.

In the end, the Rolex rep that was at the AD when I picked this up summed it up best - "WOW. That is beautiful."

Great looking watch. I really like that and that dial/strap combo is perfect. Congrats.

I really like that, it's nice to see a true heritage piece given all the crayola designs lately. The 3 minute markings on the chrono minutes really makes it look like a 'modern vintage' piece.

I love that watch!

That is just perfect!

The silver dial version is a looker. I cant wait to read the review and see more pics

Now that is a beautiful Breitling - the best they have produced in years. I truly hope they continue to produce classically styled pieces like your TO that do not seem dated within a few years. Congratulations on your excellent purchase.

I love the vintage like crystal that's high above the bezel. It looks great.

I absolutely love it. Great classic design.

I'll be interested to see one in the flesh though as I'm slightly concerned that it'll be too small for me. Great looking piece though.

That is a beautiful watch. I have yet to see the piece in the flesh. Post more photo's please.
Best health, Frank

Sorry, thats the first time I've seen it other than on the bracelet and have to say I'm not fan but I'm a bracelet freak!

If I was to buy one it would definently be on the bracelet but thanks for the post first time I've seen a 'live' pic.

Cheers

All I can say is FANTASTIC PIECE, does it have the new in house movement, and display back? I recently purchased my first Breitling Chronomat 01 LE, may have to add that to my collection. Best of luck with it and wear it in good health.

Yes and yes
