Wah, lajuuu! How do u find the new chronos in-person? Can give the 58 a run for the money, or a different experience entirely?

My honest take...it would have been better if the case were slimmer, and there is a subdial at 6 oclock like the daytona.

My personal preference is the white face too, given a choice between the two.

It seems the case is slimmer compared to their other chrono range, but still feels thick.

Still prefer BB58 - though different 'category'. But that's just me.

The Breitling B09 Pistachio dial is my pick of the bunch! So damn quirky and somewhat attainable.

The BB58 Chronos are a bit meh next to the new Zenith Sport to be honest, but priced well la. Has the same Breitling movement, but design-wise it's a bit too muted for my liking.

I have to say, I myself have kind of overlooked that B09. Is a pretty decent piece la. Looks interesting and flexible  enough to dress up or down and has a 100m WR.

Must look nice in the metal I reckon, but most likely a display unit only ka?

On a side note, I've always wondered la kan, if the adage "nice to see, nice to hold, once broken considered sold" holds true, then.....how much they charge for crystal replacements ya?  :Laughing_on_floor:

Display unit lo...it’s very light by the way...

And if that adage holds true, I don’t mind pulling together RM140k for that watch and trade it for a house! *whoops dropped it* Haha

A Calatrava deployant clasp would be sweeter and with an auto-winding movement. Did the salesperson say if these would be a long wait list for this?
