1littlegreen 1 Posted July 24, 2014 Personally I don't have a B1, but I do like the Grey Sunburst sticks dial alot!! The blue.....'eh...it's ok and looks nice, just so burned out on blue dials. Best thing you can do is ask yourself which dial do I like and get it. Sure there are the flaws with either one, so just set that aside and get the one you like and enjoy it.

cogwatch 1 Posted July 24, 2014 Not sure how close it is to gen, but I think the Roman numeral version for this one looks the best. I have 100+ watches already and only have a few more on my really want list, and the Roman numeral Chronomat B01 is on that short list. Good luck deciding!!!

TK01 0 Posted July 26, 2014 Anyone got a white dial none Roman numerals ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreitlingFanatic 0 Posted July 27, 2014 You might want to check availabilty before you start narrowering down options. The last time I checked, within the last couple of months, only dials with roman numerials were available and in blue only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny63 0 Posted July 27, 2014 Fantastic rep with a quality dial - avoid blue but every other colour is good I went for black sticks with silver subs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK01 0 Posted July 27, 2014 So yours is black dial with silver subdials ? What TD you use on this watch quality looks great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny63 0 Posted July 28, 2014 V3 - TD was Angus(Puretime) - all dealers can source the same watch Watch is so versatile on different straps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TK01 0 Posted July 29, 2014 Nice thank you great review ! Was very helpful. Post more pictures guys ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreitlingFanatic 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Just curious if any TDs have availability? Checked with Trusty and no stocks in the factory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK01 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Yea I am still deciding on the color dial. Doing my research and reading threads on this watch. I think at the end I'll have only few choices since few TD are out of stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK01 0 Posted July 30, 2014 So I wonder if any of the TD can get B01 or GMT in brushed steel ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted August 1, 2014 If they only made the grey dial with the black date wheel instead of white I would probably still have mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One i got toro to find me ,watch is very nice,date wheel is a flaw but i can live with it,put it on a gen leather strap God damn! They couldn't cram more shit onto that watch if they wanted to. Tuxedo dial, branding, logo, movement info, subdials, gigantic roman numerals, date, 12-3-6-9 dot markers, train tracks, chronograph ruler, diving bezel, pearl, chrono pushers, decorated crown and I'm sure there are some fucking bolts going through that thing like frankensteins neck. SHIT! I mean it's a lovely rep, but I just can't get down with many Breitlings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
