First Breitling...
So, I've always been a Rolex guy but admired Breitlings from a distance. I really wanted a chronograph but just couldn't get my head around paying (well) over retail for a SS Rolex Daytona.
I spent a lot of time looking around and ended up purchasing this Breitling Chronomat 44 B01 from Erik and Ratcliffe Jewelers, a trusted seller here on TRF. Just got it today and frankly, I like the look of this watch better than the Daytona. Plus, I now have a little diversification in my (growing) collection. I highly recommend Erik and Radcliffe. Very seemless purchase and delivery. Plus, I love the watch! First wrist-shot:

Congrats to the OP as you now have a chronograph also worthy of a hard core dive watch in its WR.
I am right there with you. I have owned a Daytona and sold it years ago as it did nothing for me. To me, Breitling IS the modern chronograph. They invented it from the beginning and their horological history is chronograph development and advancements. I think you will enjoy this inside look at Breitling. https://youtu.be/3zMalJbKYvU https://youtu.be/glcPYqxwkMQ
