$7560 for the head, and it's only available on rubber straps. It's $7710 on the diver pro and $8010 on the ocean racer with deployant.

JEEPERS! Remember when that was the price of a Navi Montbrillant Olympus or a Bentlet GT? Seems like just yesterday. Oh wait.....

Yea but the fish has the B01 in it...which is clearly worth the additional $2,000...right? Yea...it has to be.

I don't own a flying fish, although I do own and wear a Brushed Blackbird. While it looks great on the facet'd bracelet, and Croc, I prefer it on the OR with deployment. The flying fish looks great. I would not let the lack of bracelet keep you from owning one.

Buy it with a Pilot bracelet and have it brushed. That would be a beast.

You should put one on a Flying Fish and post some photos of it...I bet that would be a strong seller. IMO it's the nicest inhouse Chronomat that breitling has released so far.

:yeahthat I've often wondered if anyone would buy a brushed bracelet from the Chronomat 01 LE and try that on the FF. I reckon it'd look great.

Some pics of the FF on bracelet from the Breitling Boutique Osaka blog here: http://ichikawashinya.salesmaster.jp/

Best looking watch in their current lineup imo.

On rubber to compare...

That bezel is a different animal brushed. Still not my thing, but so much better than polished in my opinion.

Totally agree, it's much nicer than the polished bezel on Chronomat B01. I like this piece a lot, if the price wasn't outrageous I'd considering buying one for sure.

They should use the blackbird style bracelet for this watch. The facet links would set this apart from the other chronomat B01s.

Since you haven't started a poll yet I'll say yes. Go for it. Definitely the nicest of the Chronomat 01's in my opinion.

I'd been wondering why i warmed a little more to this watch. I think that's it. I'd still prefer a BB, but this is the nicest of the new Chronomats.
