After having a couple bad experiences with Breitling I decided to try a couple other brands, I have to admit I always wanted two specific Lings and recently found the ones I was looking for. I found a new in the AD case 44mm Chronomatic. And splurged on a 43mm LE Navi B01. I have always loved the navi but the 41 mm is too small. Well here they are, It is good to have them in my collection.

Good to have you back (and back at the forum), even better to see a chrono-matic with the crown on the correct side.

I never paid ANY attention to the Chrono-Matic becasue they were silly big. That is until I saw mah's 44 in person. Now I can't get that watch out of my head. It looks perfect on the dark brown strap he picked up.

My odds of finding one of these discontinued models, especially the black dial are not good.

Enjoy them both Mark.

Now that is a one-two Breitling punch I like.

Have been lusting after the Navi 01 since it came out and still love my CM24 on bracelet.

Very nice and welcome back

You can always go original, they're still around fairly frequently.

I really like the straps that you have chosen. I went to the Freda website but I did not see them. Could you tell me/us which model you purchased?

Thanks

It's the Imperator, Mark confirmed that for me. I have a brown one on the way.
