Incoming! (Not a Rolex)

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I present you, the Breitling Chronomat (last production before the Chronomat Evolution)! I always have a soft spot for the Chronomat Evolution. I know it doesn't have an in-house movement, but something about it just attracts me. For years I admire the the Chronomat Evolution and never pulled the trigger because it was just too big for my wrist. I came across this piece a week ago, but I wasn't sure about it at first. I was able to do more research and learned more of the model history. The more I learned the more I realized this was the watch I wanted; ~40mm which fits my wrist, COSC spec, and minimum text on the dial. And here it is!

Wrist shot

I used to have this watch with the white dial but it was stolen in 2006!
It's a lovely watch, enjoy!
