Well after months of waiting, I got it! Man o man it is a nice watch! But before I post pictures, I have to give credit where credit is due!

To the forum members: When I was contemplating buying this watch, you all helped me by answering my questions, even the most basic ones! This forum allowed me to go from "Wow I would like this watch" to "Yeah, I got this watch"!

To FEAR: Thanks for offering your services. Your proactive approach and dedication to your customer allowed the unachievable to be, well, achievable! Thank you.

The TO Chrono itself, well it is a absolute beauty. The croc strap is second to none and combined with the deployant, I find it very comfortable (7.25" wrist). Pictures will follow when I can do the watch justice with my SLR camera.

Again, good job everyone in helping me achieve my goal!

Huge congrats. No need to tell you to enjoy it: you're doing more than that.

IMO, the brown strap is the best combo with the silver dial. :lingsrock:

Wear it in good health.

Many Congratulations Brez,

You don't seem too thrilled about it though :D :D :D :D :D .

Have you decided to put it away until Xmas or are you going to wear it straight away?

Would love to see some pics when you get a chance.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to present you with the Transocean Chronograph Limited Edition number 1987.

Pictures cannot do justice for the beauty of this dial!

As far as my decision for below xmas tree or not. I'll do a bit of both! I will be running tests on the accuracy of the watch for the next 22 days or so (in my closet). The watch will be put under the tree (in the morning for security reasons). My kids will not know that I have received it. I will not wear it until then!

Great piece of kit!

Maybe so, but they're enough proof to see that it is a killer. :shock: :lingsrock:

Post more when you can.

With the B01 movement and this classic look, Breitling is starting to compete with the likes of IWC and others.

The is a sick timepiece.

That watch is beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Please post more pictures when you have some free time, especially wrist shots if possible. I would also like to purchase that exact same watch, so I am anxious to see more pictures! Again, that is awesome. Enjoy!

I agree. In seeing more of this watch, I now feel if Breiting were to head further in this direction, I'd be on board. This, along with the Navi 01, shows that Breitling is still capable of producing excellent, classic timepieces. More, please. That said, they really do need to put the TO on a proper bracelet. Nothing against the croc band, but some of us are bracelet guys; the mesh is nice as an alternative, but as a sole bracelet option, it just doesn't cut it.

Gorgeous watch - congrats on the acquisition.
