By-Tor Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Found this from BreitlingSource. What do you think?
Dave123 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Hmm,feel the same way about the regular B01,not sure if i love it or hate it. When i look at it,my eyes stick on that lume dot,aside from that i think they look great. A diamond bezel would get rid of that lume dot issue though...
subbiesrock Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) That splash of red completes the look and feel of it... Dave is right though, that lume dot looks a big green pus-filled pimple that is about to blow... Though he may not have expressed his sentiments with quite the same level of specificity Edited March 21, 2011 by subbiesrock
By-Tor Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Posted March 21, 2011 My initial impression of the pearl was similar. I really wondered about the SELs (or lack of them) as well. I understand why people don't like it. But the longer I've had this watch (rep), the more I appreciate the uniqueness. B01 is definitely "different". That's why it's such a controversial model.
HauteHippie Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I actually like the black dial with contrasting white chapter ring a lot, but the domed crown has never been my cup of tea, and I don't care for the style of the bezel - not limited to the lume dot. The standard Breit bezel would improve the look of this thing IMO.
krpster Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Not bad. Not too far removed from the B01 though. Like many I am not sure if I love it or hate it, still stuck on the fence.
Bike Mike Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I have grown out of hating the B01 bezel into being able to handle it, becuase I like the rest of the watch so much. Really do like the GMT complication. Bout time B got into adding onto their B01 module as it was designed for.

It's refreshing to see that they can at least justify their high prices somewhat by offering an in-house movement, something that much younger companies such as Maurice Lacroix have been doing for some time now...
