I tried the one in your picture last weekend and thought it was a lovely. I could be tempted, but not at £6k with discount.

Anyone have one? I think they look great and certainly a different approach by the brand. Rather expensive, but is it worth it?
Trying to reduce my collection to 3; sports watch (Garmin), Rolex GMT and a leather watch for work. So either this or IWC Portuguesier chronograph
Thoughts?

I prefer the IWC Portuguese Chronograph Classic and discounts can be had on these too.
I prefer the wings, and where’s the B on the Chrono seconds hand?
Otherwise looks good.

The Breitling company are presently in a limbo and a lot of their watches have been dumped onto the gray market by the current owners. I've seen that model for as little as £3.5K...
I saw this yesterday (it was posted yesterday)... and then I went and looked on Chrono24. (John P is a watch dealer.)
DO NOT BUY these watches NEW - Watches at fractions of retail !!!

Wow! That's an elegant looking watch. Certainly a step away from a normal Breitling look.
I like it, but not at £6k !

Thanks all, my feelings exactly - very expensive for what it is.
I've got baby girl wrists so you could be right that it'd look stupid on me, will try one at the weekend and post a picture.
The Portuguesier fits perfect though

I think this watch is stunning but as stated before a bit rich
If it started with a 4 rather than a 6 id love one
Maybe wait for used

I prefer the Bremont Alt1-C black/white:
Its nice, but would it look better or worse as a 'Reverse' Panda dial, with black main dial and white subdials???
Btw, Breitling now have a design rule - chronographs with in house movements have contrast subdials, eg
Whereas those with ETA movements don't, eg
In house MRSP is £6,600; ETA £4950. Bracelet instead of strap, add £300.
Love to know wear

I too will wait for a reverse panda, and then wait another year for them to drop into SH market, and drop 50%, Breitling being soft at the moment, despite the new management and direction.

Or buy the Tudor BB chrono for half the price but with the same movement.
The Panda dial looks great, for around £4K.
For a bicompax I can deal with the Tudors schizophrenia for the £££ saving against the Breitling equivalent. If I had 6k to spend on a chronograph watch it's be spent on a different watch from Breitling, the Chronomat 44 GMT.
