The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi Guys, just got my first B'Ling today Sam at Andrew Michaels hooked me up with the Chronomat 41 Limited Edition!!

I used to disregard Breitlings before as they used ETA movements and seemed way too blingy and was not really in my radar at all.

But after trying on a Chronomat 41 as I looked for an Aerospace, it changed my entire perspective. They gave me a catalogue and I saw the limited edition chronomat 41 and knew I had to get one. The 44 was way too big as my wrist is just over 6 inches

However since the movement is the same, it doesnt make any difference for me as its not like the 44 has a longer power reserve or anything!

I also watched a youtube video of how they make the chronomats and that was also very very impressive.

Now onto the watch, firstly the build quality is awesome, everything feels solid, all the markers line up perfectly. The bracelet is very comfortable and the polish is exceptional. Some probably feel this is too blingy but for me, it has a classy high end look but being sporty and very rugged as well.

The dual anti-reflective coating is the best I have ever seen. I feel like I can just touch the inside of the dial!! My photos are extremely poor and I have no skills but hopefully it gives you an idea

Ofcourse I needed to get one with a see-thru back to see the impressive inhouse movement!




Thanks for reading and hope to contribute to these forums!!

Congrats and welcome. Nice list of other watches you have as well. Maybe we can get you to shoot a pic (we're all mostly so-so photographers) occasionally for the "What are you Wearing" thread.

Your watch is beautiful

I am a huge fan of the Chromomat B01 design, even if it is in smaller form.

The red markers really stand it out from the crowd

i have sent you a PM on another note regarding AM.

Love it. Too much $$$ for me but the new B01 is superb...

A man after my own heart. The AP RO gets a lot of love around here, but not from me. I smiled when I read this

And I say that with ZERO hesitation, in fact it is even better than the rolex daytona (ignoring residuals etcetc).

The watch not only is great looking but a highly instrument like precision and durability. Love this watch to bits.
