Nice review- actually made me like the B01 a bit more... especially like the incorporated pics of the graphite evo on strap - exactly what I'm wearing right now!! :lingsrock:

:yeahthat

As always a nice and detailed review.

If I may, however, I think that the special graphics of the Romans (as opposed to the ones of the "old" chronomat) would deserve some mentioning. They could be added to the "classy" details. I also think that the gold Romans (as in the pic you posted) are much more visible than the silver ones. Finally, the now famous square of the B01 dial is much less visible with Romans than with markers.

Nice review as always Ricardo. There's a lot to like about the Chronomat 01 - not everything IMO, but certainly a lot. I still much prefer the batons version : the romans just look seriously cramped IMO.
