Recently picked up my second Breitling in house movement chronograph - the Chronomat B01 Flying Fish with Black Onyx dial, absolutely love this watch, dial is stunning and as most of the case is brushed, not too blingy either, just a few polished areas which accentuate the look nicely. Bearing in mind the 500m WR as well as a 5 year warranty and some excellent prices available off retail I can't understand why these B01 Chronographs are not more popular, looks superb with a wide range of strap options too.

The FF, along with the Frecce Tricolori, has long been my favourite version of the current Chronomat. Nice pick up.

Looks sharp congrats.

IMO the bezel throws off quite a few breitling pursuits and fans.

I agree. The Patrouille de France is really nice too. I'd happily own and wear any of these three... but i'd love them even more with the Airborne's bezel!

I know the 'Buck Rogers' bezel isn't liked by everyone but personally I much prefer this more modern look - I just think it takes a while to get used to it.

Congrats...

you should consider matching it with the pilot's bracelet.

Did not take me long to get used to it ;-)

That's a stunning combination, these models work very well brushed as in these Limited versions.
