Wow, nice threesome! I was out traveling for a few days and look what happens :) .

Just curious... guessing the white dial piece is actually giving the correct time? Can't believe you took a pic like that :lol: . Also curious to the lug length on the new 43mm case? I tried on the new IWC chrono pilot 3777 this week and wasn't sure I liked the new case/lug length dimensions.

Congrats!



I get about 49-50mm lug end to lug end measured from the bottom of the lugs.

I did also when I measure from the outer edge of the lug. When I measured the edges closest to the strap it measures 51 so I went with the longest measurement.

Thanks for lug length info. mserge and sharkman. That does seem a lot more reasonable, I think the IWC 3777 was at least 53mm.

If someone told me to pick one, that would be one very hard decision to make.

I ordered it last Saturday and my AD said it will take about 2-3 weeks. I hope it gets in sooner!!

Is the blue an exclusive blue for this watch, or do they use that blue on other watches also? Is the blue croc exclusive to this watch too??

Breitling's marketing material made it sound like the blue croc was special for this watch but it looks identical to a standard blue croc strap.

I am not sure if this blue dial is different from the blue dial on other lings such as the world. The blue sky dial seems to have more of a metallic blue finish which is just spectacular in person and especially awesome in sunlight. I don't believe the blue dial world is the same

I've worn the watch on bracelet, blue croc, and brown croc and the bracelet is my favorite. I prefer the croc on my white navi 01 but I prefer the bracelet on the blue dial. Not sure why but it just works awesome for me.

Looking forward to some photos when you get it.

OK, thanks for the feedback! I'm thinking I'll get the bracelet in the near future. It really looks nice on yours.
Which # did you get btw? I'll be sure to post pics when I get mine in.

Cheers,
