Man that is one stunningly beautiful watch. I am a complete sucker for blue dials. Can you only get these by walking into a CB store, or is there a way to buy them on line? Do other dealers sell them as ADs or do can you only get it directly from Bucherer? Living in the US I wouldn't know where to begin.

You can only get them by going through Bucherer and inly in their stores (no online sales afaik). You're out of luck if you're in the US as Bucherer doesn't have any stores there. Also, there's a waitlist, so you need to inquire first.

Hey Traveller
Thanks for the reply. No worries for the "delay". This is a forum not a business environment :)

Yeah, light. As always with photography. Somehow I can't make my iPhone do decent shots of my 5B. I have since abandoned my "patina project".

And I guess I'll be careful with water. I usually take all my watches off when I go swimming anyway, except maybe my Breitling Superocean.

Cheers and enjoy your 5B. I am so in love with mine!!
