Congrats love the Chronomat B01! Brushed is nice but I do like the polished on polished bracelet as well for when you want to really shine.

Congrats on a stellar Chronomat b01! The brushed case looks quite nice and subtle compared to mine with the all-polished case.

That is gorgeous. Love the alligator strap. I actually like that strap better than the rubber one I have. Think I will try and source one. Abs beautiful watch buddy.

Thanks! The polished case is very blingy and I'm glad I didn't go with the polished bracelet as well. I would've preferred the polished bezel and brushed case combo. And I love the Breitling alligator strap. It's one of the best I've come across.

They are sexy watches.

Wish they were regarded much higher in the world of horology.

IMO, I have a chronomat evolution and absolutely love it.

The secondary market for the brand just sucks.

Thx guys for all the kind words. I absolutely love this watch. It is very comfortable and def has lots of wrist presence. I did change the rubber strap to the croc with deploy strap. Here is a quick pic.

Croc strap definitely adds something. The rubber was a little boring. Beautiful watch though. Congratulations & enjoy.

Breitling crocos are fantastic, better and more substantial than AP and PPs imho, and with that greyish dial a brown croco would also look great. One of the best things about Breitlings, like PAMs, are the strap combinations to give your watch a few different looks.

Phong, you should get one for your blue B01, think you will love the combo too.

To OP, that new black croc strap looks amazing.

Agree with you Neil on the superb quality of Breitling croc leather and yes my blue b01 is currently on blue croc.

Btw, I love that brown strap against your blue steelfish.....
