thanks a lot Marcus for the feedback, I have already read than the early B01 examples had a problem,I apologize that the vids have eaten the text
But anyways, I am certainly going to buy a B01 and if not that a vintage Zenith El Primero
Breitling a little spoken brand on the PuristSPro?
Good morning All Aside my love for Omega, JLC, Rolex, Zenith, Eterna, IWC, Lemania, Tutima, Orfina, Sinn and some others brands. I rarely see the name Breitling mentioned. Breitling Navitimer Since 2009 Breitling have introduced one of the best if not the...
Unfortunately, your post appears to replicate Breitling's gigantomaniac design ....
... by opening a huge video (?) picture completely obscuring your text, whenever I try to open your post. All I could read was some kind of praise of the chronograph movement. However, my negative experiences with this movement alone, and my information c...

Sadly Georges as Marcus said you text is unreadable
due to video that obscured it. Cheers D
And I apologize for that . I think the vids were and are too big in terms of resolution which made everything wrong. But Marcus have given an important feedback about Breitling
So that now everyone can see and think before buying a B01. Best regards Georges
I agree that Breatling ...
Has history (despite some bumps on the road) and has very interesting vintage and modern watches BUT: 1) Modern ones seems to be designed just giants. 2) Being supposedly to pilots, the dials are just illegible. (Vintage and modern) 3) Their boutiques has...
The pinup is an Insigna that often was painted on Boeing B17flying Fortress, Consolidated B24 Liberator, Douglas B25 Mitchell, Northrop P61 Black Widow to bring luck to pilots
during world war II. And also, the pin up is also linked to Breitling 's history in the USAF. Guess who was at the opening of the first Breitling boutique in New York? Victoria Silvstedt, someone who looks like a pin up too. But this is not the subject of...
About the pin-up..
I normally go shopping with my wife and grandchildren. I know about the pin-up and WW II but is was and is not something that we normally consider a good taste. If they don't have an average salesperson on the London Flagship Boutique... They need to do b...
A bit torn when it comes to Breitling...
For a long time I thought Breitling to be the epitome of cool watches and was over the moon when I got an Aerospace as my graduation present. At the same time if I look at the current collection I find little that I like. The Transocean came closest to ap...
The chronomat airborne was available 42mm and 44mm. My biggest watch is the speedmaster 125 so if I can wear that , it is not a problem to wear a 44mm
Same comment with the cairelli reedition or the plo prof, if you can wear one of them, then you can in my opinion wear a 44/45mm Breitling too unless its sits too high on the wrist or it is too big. Quality wise Breitling is a close match to Rolex, Omega ...
Never had any beef with quality...
Just that at the moment I do not feel particularly drawn to their current collection. And the Breitling watches I have tried lately definitely wore larger / higher than the CP-2, which may be somewhat wrist specific
"one of the best if not the best chronograph movement" seriously?
'best' is a lot of things that the B01 is not.
I gravitate toward another line, so I am not the best one to comment. I have not had any problems getting attention in the Manhattan boutique..
And they were trying to sell me watches.
