Anybody actually seen one in the metal? Or better yet has pics?

I have been considering a TT Chronomat on brown leather. Either the MOP, classic black, or the Burgundy dial. I love the Havana dial and would jump on a TT Evo with Havana dial on brown leather (My GOD that would be amazing) but seems like the burgundy is the closest thing he have now.

Thought? pictures?

I have seen it, haven't got pics.

I've considered it - roman numerals, two tone (gold riders on steel rather than the other way around).

The watch is gorgeous - the strap it was on was the burgundy, which didn't work for me, the brown would probably be better.

I think my next Breitling (after the Legende is fully paid for) is going to be a grey-violet motors and not sure that I would want that and the burgundy Chronomat.

Seeing as we're in the general thread.... did you pull the trigger on the Chronomaster Grande Date yet? My AD is trying to get ahold of one of the new Open Grande Dates for me to look at - that's a yummy piece and may give you the open that you were originally looking for.

To keep this on track, the appeal of the burgundy for me was that it was different from the others, the downside would be that it would be limited in what I would wear it with and if I'm going to have one in that colour palette it would have to be the Motors.

I actually did pull the trigger on the Grande Date. Going to pick it up Monday. the one he had was handled by about a million people. I want mine with the plastic still on so he was kind enough to have one shipped from another branch in Jeddah and still offer me the great discount. Top notch AD.

I have my heart set on the Multicity. Though The Grande Date open is awesome, I also love and NEED that cool city bezel.

I kinda like the burgundy because it is so different as well. I have most of the bases covered right now so looking for diversity, I crave a Havana dial Breitling but would ideally want one with a brown strap on a TT watch. Since I bought the Datora before and sold it I know thats not an option so it's pretty much a waiting game. Havana dial TT Chronomat, mmmmmm (in my best Homer impersonation)

We want to see the Grande Date when it arrives.

I got Havana covered with the Legende, which incidentally is calling to me loudly - may have to go and drop the rest of the cash soon.

Not a SOH fan? The new bronze Chrono is nice if you can get past the bezel.

Definitely will do one of my "Unboxing" posts when it gets here. Wouldn't dream of leaving you guys out of the experience.

Same goes for you. I NEED to see that TT Havana Legende!!!!


Not so big on the SOH, just leaves me cold for some reason. The EVO case is my favorite.

Thanks Sharky, I actually wanted to see an actual picture or better yet a wrist shot. All Breitling.com have are those useless marketing photos.
