So good that Breitling offers watches to persons with different wrist size. My preference goes to the Chronomat 41 mm. Tried the 44 mm Chronomat on but found it too large for my 6.75" wrist. Hope the new bezel 41 mm will come in different dial colors too.

I'm with you, I got a 44, but sold it because it was too big. My wrists are like 6.5ish. The 41 will fit perfectly. The current 41 never looked as good either, the square was even more awkward on that one than the 44.

Agreed, the size variety is a great feature that they offer. Size is such a personal preference.

Definitely a good move as far as catering to the different wrist sizes of potential buyers.

I've tried the Chronomat 44 on but proved to be too large (mainly too long lug-to-lug). Agree that it's sooo good that Breitling offers the Chronomats in different sizes! I hope the NOB (new/old bezel) comes later with different dials too (all-blue or BEB with applied, large-lume hour markers and without the square on the dial.

I really like that Airborne. Reminds me a lot of the Evo. Many disagree but I actually quite like the Steelfish too. I'd prefer it without the arabics but I think it's pretty good.

Still some hope left that the "street version" Steelfish Chrono Day-Date will have kinda traditional CSO applied hour markings. It seems that this model will come later this year.

So are they going to discontinue the 44mm Navitimer 01.....or are they just going to offer it in two sizes?

There is no way they would discontinue the 43mm model, the 46 if just an additional size offering.

The steelfish looks hideous to me :-S The bezel, the arabics, the hands... not really a fan of any of it. Do hope it turns out to just be a mockup and not a real release!

While others (including me) are waiting to see the watch in the flesh and are possible buyers. I'd be more happy with applied hour indexes than painted arabics, otherwise looks very promising. Just my two cents.

Retail for the Airborne on pilot bracelet - $9,060! I like it, but there are too many pieces from other brands around that price I would take first. Strike it off my Wish List.

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. I was quoted $8030 for the Airborne on military strap.

Is this more what your looking for at the $9000 price range ? :drool:
