I have to say it looks even better in person! Just got it in today and very happy with it. Rebnah is great to deal with, thanks Scott!

Nice pic Altair. Good to see you've managed to capture the gold colour so well. Many pictures I've seen really fail in that respect.

I absolutely love that colour combo, especially on leather (or croco) but (and I've said it before, and I'll say it again :wink: ) I just wish it was a couple of mm bigger.

Nice pick up.

Looks fantastic mate. Very nice. Particularly on that strap.

I checked out one of these in person recently and its a very cool watch.

Love that combo...TT, blue dial and Roman #'s all go together perfectly! Would love to see it on the Pilot. Great pickup....one mans loss is another gain!

Lovely piece - I was very suprised when Rebnah decided to part with such a beauty after just receiving it - wear it well!

Mate can we get a wrist shot?

I've come back to this thread 6-7 times today.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I will try and get some more shots, and a couple of wrist shots on here soon. Been having a very busy couple of weeks so have not been around as often as I would like.

The watch does indeed have a black dial, its just the way the light hits it that it looks like a royal blue dial.

Great watch and really loving it, have worn it three days straight and got a ton of compliments, much more than any other piece I have. I guess the gold and romans are an eye catcher.

It amazes me that the same company that came out with this design came out with the new B01 design, I am just happy I got one before they were discountinued.

I've never thought I could wear gold.. but this might just be subtle enough for me.

It's funny, as much as I love my 233, when I think that I could get 2-3 more Breitlings with that money..... :D

Never-mind, the 233 isn't going anywhere. I just need to save for one of these. :)

Jay, i know what you mean. I always hated most gold watches myself, this and the IWC Portuguese red gold models are the exceptions however. More classy than blingy IMO.
