The Breitling Watch Source Forums

OK - starting tomorrow I will wear my old true Chronomat proudly, showing off my proud sleeve catching rider tabs to the world.
Showing the true face of the true ultimate Chronomat in silent protest...

I still like my Chronomat. They just should have put the B01 on this watch with the clear back case to see the movement. Ohh and made it 45.6mm

I really like it. A lot. I know it is contrary to 95% of everyone here, but that is just me. That is just based on pictures. I have to see how it sits on my wrist before I even think of buying one. By the way, anyone know anybody that does custom DBs?

Wow, terrible. I have yet to see a rolex that doesnt look like its from the 70's. When I think Rolex, I usually think of a guy in an all white suit, or an older, overweight gentleman with brown pants pulled up to his chest. That said, there are a couple of models that I wouldnt mind owning.

If you go to the 360 view, what the heck are those little arcs on the back between the case and the end links?

BTW, I really like the new design.

Uh huh... so these are Rolex's new models are they? Looking at these <ahem> "ground-breaking" styles, I think these pictures could be from any Baselworld since oooooooh about 1975! The Submariner looks like a very gentle update case-wise, although I don't like the case-lines around the lugs, but the rest are truly HIDEOUS! Still as always the name will carry them to many, many sales no doubt.

Looks like a Tudor, really.

I'm a noob with Breitlings, but I have to say I like almost all the features of the new Chronomat. I like the dial design and general layout. I think I like it enough to forgive the bezel, but I'd have to put one on my wrist to be sure.

I'm undecided about the new design, there are some things about it I like, but if you ask me this isn't the right model to be experimenting with in that way.

Thats a true beauty !

In the morning I thought it was ok but I was undiceded. It´s already growing on me. Didn´t expect that really. I don´t love the bezel, but it doesn´t bother me anymore because otherwise it´s kinda cool. Too small though. ...and too expensive, so anyway...

My first impression isn't super positive but voted undecided as I would like to see it in person before I'd make a final judgement call; I find it hard to judge something based entirely on pictures. The size if fine for me and I like the WR however not a big fan of the Bezel which is popular comment to say the least

I also like the layout- gives the face a balanced look and the new movement is just brilliant.

Here it´s popular opinnion to disslike the bezel, everywhere else it recieves quite a lot of praise.

...But the roman dial and the futuristic bezel is a crazy mismatch. What happened there???

Any way to merge the two chronomat threads? Im really getting confused
