That really is a beautiful dial I especially like how the B was incorporated. I wish breitling still used that, although perhaps they do I only see them on the more vintage pieces. Cool it’s a manageable 41mm. Sorry I can’t purchase something like that but I felt the need to comment on your lovely watch, at least I can give you a free bump.

 

Thanks! I Appreciate it.
Still available.
The depth and quality of this Venus 178 movement is delicious.
