I SOOOO love that dial with the Roman Numerals and the type of numbers on the totalizers. Now why couldn't they do that for the Chronomat B01??? You have such a nice piece in your hand, it's insane. I was actually trying to see if Breitling would be willing to put such a dial on my Chronomat B01 limited Edition that I have ordered, but personally I'm not sure it can be done because the watch is a limited edition version and secondly because the date window is in a different location of the watch. Also the Roman Numerals on your watch are MUCH MUCH better than the type used on some of the Chronomat B01 regular models. Enjoy your watch and be careful with it. I wear a sports wrist band on my expensive pieces just so that the wrong element doesn't see it. Costs five bucks in any sporting goods store and also protects the watch from scratches in crowded areas like trains etc. Good luck with that beauty!

Awsome watch, one question though, are the numerals on the yellow gold version (the one without the entire bezel being gold) a little more shinier than the rose gold version (gold bezel all around)? I wanted to purcharse the rose gold before, but the numerals were just too dark to be noticeable under normal lighting.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. I never saw the rose gold one in-store so im not certain how the numerals are in comparison. Mine shine pretty nice as you can see in the picture.
