Montbrillant? *shakes head* how can you call yourself a watch collector... Tsk tsk! I know its amazing I never even knew there was a section here that even began with B.

ExtraExtra Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 At first glance, it looked like a Tag. The dial design remind me of the older daytonas and Tags recently. Appropriate that it is in the Heritage line. Anyone know what the case size is? I think a rep would have a sunken dw problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new A7753 reps should take care of the datewheel problem, and the cadesixe is 43mm excl. crown. Perfect size for everyday wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 definitely don't like it...not at all...it has no resemblance to anything remotely Breitling... looks like any other generic chronograph...one could replace the "B" on the dial with any other brand logo emblem... @ST4...check out the SuperOcean Heritage Chronograph or the non-chrono version...you might like these and these are Breitlingesque in design...

blackbard Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I love the watch but have to agree somewhat with -R. However, I think lacking B-lingness is part of the "charm"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R I really liked the Heritage's when they came out and nearly got one but for some reason I cant get past the B'Ling. I also really like the old and new Chronmatics plane , i guess black bezels are more my thing, shame the new one is a silly sized I love the watch but have to agree somewhat with -R. However, I think lacking B-lingness is part of the "charm"? For sure thats why I like them , No 5 lots tachemeters rings messing up the place like a navi or bent, or the fortess like protrusions or the rest of the range. Its subtlety is a refreshing change and will be very appealing to those who don't normally class them selves as Breit fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, I wasnt a huge fan until I actually held a good rep. Then it went to a whole new level when I owned the gen. Believe me, there IS something special about B'lings in spite of their generic (Until now) movements. The finishing and quality is unsurpassed in its price and possibly above. Yes, I own gen Omega's and other Gen watches.... Give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpac Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 have to say, the white dial is bloody pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have to say, I like this direction for Breitling over the B01 and other models that have adopted the "Tron" numerals, all though, this piece is kind of plain. I would like to see more movement spin-offs from the B01. The movements was designed to be modular, so it could be used across many lines of the Breitling collection.

importr Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Initially, I didn't like it. I certainly don't like the black w/silver subs. Looks like a naked Navi... but the white/cream dial is appealling to me more and more. Yes it is bland by comparison, yes it could be any manufacturer, yes it will appeal to another market of buyers. It is subtle though, and still has the Breitling functionality. Where a Skyland or Chronomat is too brash, the TO is elegant and classy. Definately not a watch for the younger collector.

subbiesrock Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Is it me' or is there something off about the sub dial and datewheel fonts on this one? Not sure what it is about the '12' is the datewheel, it looks very 'Asian-rep'-like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I resurrecting this post cos I was sitting in the Cafe area at my garage waiting to pick my car up from a service and flicking through a magazine I saw this Advert for the Trans This a ling I want , so what happened with the A7753 movement, this should be a no brainer, I know its not most Breit fans most desire watch , but Its simplicity is most appealling. Anyone know if its in the works for after CNY, pretty please ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I am going to have to go against my fellow Breitling enthusiasts. I like the look of this and I do think it has visual ties to the vintage Breitling chronos. I agree it does not carry any of the modern Breitling hallmarks but it does sill look Breitling to me. Here are a few examples of what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importr Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 They really need to get hold of a gen (of all colour combos) to get this right. Too many times, they've imitated the press photos only for it to be a different shade or reflectivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 My AD, just got a black face on SS in stock...Beautiful piece! If it was 46mm instead of 43mm, I would be wearing it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
