I like it. Very nice! The two register chrono style is just perfect IMO.

Do you know the thickness in mm ?

Cheers

Great watch but I really dislike the red OR. I know it's rare and people will sell kidneys for them, but I've just never liked it. However, on the bracelet, that watch is just beautiful. Very nice pick up. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys!

And the buying experience was amazing. I was at the panama airport ( been there a couple Times) and I went straight to the jewelers store. Spent 2 hours looking at all the amazing selection they have, I saw a chrono superocean and a Monty Olympus (red gold) but this one I could not pass! I got almost 30% off list with the bracelet. I was digging into their bracelet and stap huge drawer and saw the red OR looking at me from the bottom! Haha

I wonder why it was still there... Buy I got lucky and got my favorite chronomatic ( with the panda dial) LC and the infamous red one. And I was looking for a Blk one..

They even changed bracelets and straps for me in some of the watches I was looking, a very nice staff they have. Must have been about 150 different breitlings to choose from, very impressive!

This is a very nice and classy watch for the price! The size is just right with 44mm diameter and 13,6 thickness... Comfortable to wear and can fit on the shirt cuffs with no problem!

I am happy with my purchase, I wanted a Monty Olympus but did not had the premium needed for the red gold version....

Very nice pick up. Gotta love the proper Cmatic.

I agree 100% on the great fit of this watch. The flat caseback and relatively thin height of the case just mold to your wrist. My CM 24 is the best fitting watch I own.

The Navi bracelet is just pure class and fine machining. makes for a great bracelet option.

I wish they would make more pieces with this case size - specifically the thickness, much more manageable IMO!

Congrats on a great find! :bow:

Thanks ! This is really something I wanted for a long time. The cosmonaute version would be better but it's difficult to find from dealers nowadays...

But this one fits me really well!

You know that could be my new favorite breitling. I really like that watch. Great pick up and good work on the red strap, I think it works really well! Looks perfect on your wrist.
