Well, after seeing the Chrono Colt last year and deciding what watch exactly i wanted from the Breitling range, 2-3 months back i decided to pull the trigger and get my first Breitling... :lingsrock:

Picked this up on Saturday and finally wore it today to work for the very first time (though, not going to wear it to work everyday... mostly bought it for going out while meeting friends!)

Guess i finally joined the Breitling club, with the Transocean Limited edition B01. And i gotta tell you, for me, the pictures off the net dont to it justice. Just beautiful in real life.

This one is for keeps!!! :lol:

PS. Sorry about the bad pictures... using my mobile phone camera and not exactly in an ideal location. Hopefully i can get some nicer shot this weekend with my camera. :)

I definitely like the watch. It's smooth and elegant, particularly considering it is without a bezel. Congratulations on the pick up, very very nice! The only thing I would change is the bracelet, the mesh is just not me :D

I must be an odd one, but i really do like the mesh bracelet... makes it a bit more retro but yet, still an elegant piece.

Looks really fine. I actually went from hating mesh still a few months ago to like it a lot. To the point where I might order my Superocean Heritage 42 on it, then again OR II suits it admirably as well. Having to wait til August sucks, though :roll:

Yea, the waiting time sucks.. I made contact with my AD just at the end of March, about the TransOcean, which they had the white dial one, but i wanted the Black. Wasnt till about mid April that he confirmed he could get the Black Dial for me and another 5 week wait before he got it in his store.

But i guess, for some of us, the wait is all part of the journey to own a ling. :D

Hopefully the one you want to look/buy comes in earlier. :)

Yup, and there's always the pics to make the wait less tedious, but it's likely to take even more, unfortunately. Dealer said September, August if lucky but not likely :? Anyway, good luck with summer and the beach/pools and enjoy the beauty 8)
