Not much of a titanium lover, but on that watch it does look very cool. Superb pics of my favourite colour dial.

At 45 x 18, that is a monster, Chip. But a good looking one at that. Enjoy.

Eventually I WILL replace it with a black one though.
Would the black one be able to obtain your seal of approval?

Your New Breitling
Hey Chip:
I don't know how you did this, but without being told, one can immediately see by the non-reflecting surfaces that this is a titanium watch and bracelet The photographs of the dial in diminishing light stages showing the luminosity is very effective as well. Two questions: 1. Is the small dial at 6 o'clock a 2nd time zone? 2 Dimensions of the model indicate just how large it is, but how much does it weigh all up? The photo work on this watch is award winning. Thanks Steve |

Thanks! 1. The small dial at 6 is an hour counter for the chronograph. It can register up to 12 hours. 2. It weighs 100.2 grams head only, no bracelet or strap. It is not quite as heavy as my AquaTerra chronograph (pictured elsewhere on this forum). I'd say that with the bracelet it weighs about the same as a Dweller.

My Crosswind head weighed in at 107 grams and the watch overall, a whopping 190 grams. Your watch (with all links on) should be pretty close to 200 grams. JJ
