wario I can imagine, and maybe it's just the image but they crown looks a bit smaller than the one from the Chronomat 44 which was discontinued a few years back. I saw one at the AD years ago and tried it on but never operated the crown. For me the bezel wasn't as useful as my A13340 for water sports with the rider tabs. o2afac67 Thanks, this makes perfect sense! I'm the same way really. Although the B-01 is one of the best Chronograph movements on the market, I prefer the Valjoux 7750 base movements in my Breitling watches as well. So rugged and reliable and the performance is pretty darn good accuracy wise. I too prefer the 12,6,9 subdial layout, this was a golden era for Breitling designs in my opinion.

Great angle! Do you find the onion crown more difficult to use at all compared to the other style some of the watches in your collection have?

Nice! Is that bracelet easy to install? I remember some mentioned certainly Breitling watches/bracelets were a bit more challenging due to the design. I guess you've done it so many times by now anyway.
The person who had been otherwise changing out bracelets and straps for years reminds me of my first experience sizing the Professional II bracelet, that was an ordeal until it was finally figured out.

Baco Noir Agreed, this is yet another case where I think the previous version appeals to me more. However, the new models will of course fly off the shelves, especially that gold one. It's always more fun for me when various brands unveil new watches that don't appeal to me enough to truly want, but to simply appreciate.

Baco Noir I know what you mean there. It just occurred to me that they've removed Sea-Dweller from the dial and on the site they're now under "Deepsea": Example below of the previous model:

There's something so special about that applied (white gold?) wings logo. Whom ever designed these back in the day did an amazing job capturing design elements that speak to enthusiasts.

The wait is indeed a shame. Maybe still put your name down and if anything changes you can always pass on it. Not sure if they take deposits or not, but with these waits a deposit wouldn't make sense.
This is nice for collectors though to have such variety provided over the years as partial justification for some looking to add more of these to the collection.
