Wow Bruce. I was on the verge of selling my Datora after two beautiful years. I had literally put it on Chrono24 already. Your video made me order the Breitling 452A stainless steel bracelet and give my watch a second life. Thank you so much!
That bracelet looks amazing on there. Really cool how it sports up such a classy piece but in a great way. Thanks for sharing Bruce! Always enjoy the content 🤘🏻
The watch looks completely different with the bracelet. But honestly, I prefer the alligator strap. Also I am not a fan of polished bracelets. Already after a very short time it is full of scratches.
Everyone's taste is different, Bruce. To MY personal taste, this is one of the best looking watches I've ever seen, especially with the bracelet. Thank you for sharing 🙂👍
Good effort Bruce, looks so much more sporty. I put the clasp from the new SuperOcean 42 on my SuperOcean Heritage 42 green dial with mesh bracelet. Now I have micro adjust 😊
Just bought this watch and it’s unbelievably beautiful. I think it’s perfect on the crocodile leather with de deployant that comes in it suits the watch like it’s supposed to. That’s probably why they made it this way. But it was good to see on the bracelet too it’s looks different but not for my taste specially for this watch. Good videos by the way on great watches.
It's a lovely watch. Tried it on in Edinburgh Scotland at the Breitling Boutique and on the leather strap. I loved it but its as thick as a book and not for my 6 1/2 inch wrists.
That traditional Breitling bracelet is the most comfortable one I’ve ever worn, even more than any other straps too. The fabric or leather ones can be itchy or stay wet. It never pinches or pulls hair and does not have any sharp edges. The finishes on every part of their watches are unbelievably underrated.
Call me crazy, but I would take a Breitling over a Rolex any day of the week. This Datora or a Navitimer have so much more character. Definitely added to my post lottery grail list
I wish they made the duograph in a salmon dial. I really want a manually wound rattrapante and Breitling's Premier line is such a compelling offering but I simply have too many blue dials and want some variety.
Bruce, I am a Breitling fan, but there is one detail that bothers me about the Datora dial. The 2 ,4, 7, 8, and 10 are cut off when Breitling drilled out the dial for the chronograph. In my opinion, Breitling could have shrunk the size to keep the numbers "intact" instead of cutting the numbers off as they appear on the dial. Does this bother you too?
Wow!! That bracelet completely transforms the watch into something a little less dressy but still classy IMO. Great addition, even though it was a tough (1K) pill to swallow.
Bruce you are so wright...i have a Navitimer...on bracelet is like a piece of jewelry...so elegant...like a luxury product..as should be.. cheers from Greece
I think this OEM bracelet is fantastic looking. It really fits perfectly, looks very high quality(as it should at that price point), very nice and very shiny. It is a good execution you made. I do believe I like it better on the leather strap. On this model and the pistachio model, for me it nicer with the original design. Cheers Bruce
I think this is my grail watch I want an OP Rolex, a few (2x) Grand Seikos, and this will be my end all piece. The perfect salmon dial, a moonphase complication, a great movement, with a chronograph. Idk what more I could want from a watch.
Kind of irritating that breitling can't offer a bracelet option on such a high line watch. I've got the same problem on my Tudor P01 the strap that it came with is appalling and there are no aftermarket options, so now I've taken to having my own bracelet fabricated. Amazing what lengths we will go to so that a watch is perfect..
It's superb!. Your right, the bracelet makes all the difference. Definitely echo's sport models. Beautiful watch, future classic! I thinking Breitling are not doing enough bracelets. They have gone strap heavy. The 5 link pilot bracelet needs to make it onto the Avi 43 and Super Avi 46. They need to push the 7 link pilot bracelet more on the Navitimer too! They are missing out, I too prefer bracelets.
As you know, Bruce, like you, I am a bracelet guy. Well, this watch looks wonderful on the leather strap, it is absolutely much better on the bracelet. Very very nice.
@@dannysimenauer5745 for me it wears perfectly but you have to try it for yourself. dont forget to negotiate the price but i think in the boutique u wont get much off, better go to a normal AD/Jeweller in your town.
Slowly warming up to breitling. Particularly the Chronomat B01 series. Thanks for continuing to feature these watches. They’re clearly no longer the overpriced, obnoxiously designed, inferior product of yesteryear.
15.3 MM THICK - "42 mm" - for 6.5' wrist, it gets tricky, i like the GOLD $26k more & if a dealer can offer the same for around $15-16k with discounts, can be worth it !
Breitling makes some of the most ugly bracelet IMO. This watch is The reason I am here, aestheticly this watch should be only comes with leather/rubber duo strap. A shining unconventional bracelet can not match the elegance and the grace of this salmon dail. I guess alot of comments already confirmed with my opinion. Thanks for making this video! Love or hate, I reassert this watch should not have this bracelet.
Are you biased because you paid so much? Just asking a reflective question out of experience. Would like to hear your perspective being an expert reviewer.

Marvelous watch!! Congratulations!
Gorgeous with that band. I have a Daytona circa about 2005. Same bracelet with white face. One of my favorites.
Excellent points Bruce. Love your videos.
I loved this so much, I bought this with the metal bracelet yesterday! Love it!
the Patek vibe is strong with this one !!
This is maybe the 2nd best looking Breitling I’ve ever seen.
Good effort Bruce, looks so much more sporty. I put the clasp from the new SuperOcean 42 on my SuperOcean Heritage 42 green dial with mesh bracelet. Now I have micro adjust 😊
Gorgeous. I prefer it on the bracelet too, though salmon is a dressy color, I think. I’d love to see the pistachio version.
I agree. I bet the pistachio looks incredible on a bracelet.

They really did a great job with it!
Love how this watch looks! Almost at the 100k mark Bruce!!😍
500 more to go. Then we do the big giveway
@@BruceWilliams good luck to all
Looks awesome
The bracelet is perfect! Where can I buy it?
Thanks for making this video! I’m not a leather strap guy and seeing that this is a real possibility definitely changes my mind🎉
I have a 5270p salmon dial -- and damn that bracelet looks good on this watch!
I bought it because of you.❤❤❤
Their bracelets are world class. I had a Chronimat some years ago where the two-tone Pilot strap retailed at $2200.
Very good looking Breitling!
Crazy I was just at Brent Miller today looking at this watch. 717 represent
Sick watch. I’m a sucker for moonphase complications. Looks killer on the stainless strap.
You did it! You followed your dream!👏
Someday I hope to get this watch

perfection! utter perfection! so beautiful, breathtaking ❤️💯👊🏻😍
That looks awesome! But c'mon, Bruce, full commitment to a $1200 bracelet includes peeling the plastic sticker off of the clasp lol
Its off now haha

Bruce that is a great looking watch. Maybe try it on a black Artem sailcloth. I love my Artem straps and swap them onto whatever watch I’m wearing
Wow!! That bracelet completely transforms the watch into something a little less dressy but still classy IMO. Great addition, even though it was a tough (1K) pill to swallow.
Thanks for that vid! Great to see the combo!
I couldn't find the bracelet online? Can I get a UK web link to buy the bracelet?
Beautiful watch, sir!
Wow that bracelet is gorgeous Bruce😮
Great choice and now with two fantastic straps 👍👍
A stunner this watch.....!!!
The 7-link "Navitimer" bracelet is incredibly comfortable. Nice choice, Bruce
Can you do a state of your collection sometime soon please
Yes, I'm thinking about making one big collection move first
Love ya Bruce. Thanks for the great video!

Not sure its more casual buy its definitely more Bruce... ha ha. Killer piece.
The more I see from Breitling, the more I like this brand. Go Breitling!
Yes, this is what I love to hear
Unspeakable ❤️🔥
Would this bracelet fit the B09?
Lovely watch
Kind of irritating that breitling can't offer a bracelet option on such a high line watch.

Looks stunning. Almost like the odyessus bracelt from lange
It's superb!. Your right, the bracelet makes all the difference.
Definitely echo's sport models.
Beautiful watch, future classic!
I thinking Breitling are not doing enough bracelets. They have gone strap heavy.
The 5 link pilot bracelet needs to make it onto the Avi 43 and Super Avi 46.
They need to push the 7 link pilot bracelet more on the Navitimer too!
They are missing out, I too prefer bracelets.
I always think Patek Phillipe when I see that. It is so nice looking.
Plus the Datora is much more affordable!
As you know, Bruce, like you, I am a bracelet guy. Well, this watch looks wonderful on the leather strap, it is absolutely much better on the bracelet. Very very nice.
Very helpful video! ❤
Surely that polished bracelet is an absolute scratch magnet ?
Yes, but for one week, it's pure magic!
I'd take that over any rolex in the catalog.
If you could choose between the IWC Chrono 41 and the Datora, which would it be, and why?
Datora, I like the complications, color, and design better.
This watch looks always great! But probably it's one of the very few situations where I prefer the leather strap. Anyway it's amazing
i wanted to to the same with my pistacchio but the bracelet doesnt fit unfortunatley
p4ndora, how comfortable is the pistachio watch? I am thinking about going to the boutique to try one on.
@@dannysimenauer5745 for me it wears perfectly but you have to try it for yourself. dont forget to negotiate the price but i think in the boutique u wont get much off, better go to a normal AD/Jeweller in your town.
@@p4ndorA Thanks for the advice.
$1200 for a bracelet with an outdated clasp seems like a stretch.
That being said the bracelet looks fantastic.
So unexpected, wow!
damn what a great looking watch!
I don't mind paying a premium for a bracelet. But maybe an on the fly adjustment would've been expected at that price point.
Slowly warming up to breitling. Particularly the Chronomat B01 series. Thanks for continuing to feature these watches. They’re clearly no longer the overpriced, obnoxiously designed, inferior product of yesteryear.
stunning

No Tfit on the fly adjustment. That’s sad in itself
Looks beautiful but god damn is it thick.
Datora would be a name I’d give to one of the titans from the Godzilla universe 😅
That bracelet costs more than i made last year
looks better on the bracelet
Are you biased because you paid so much? Just asking a reflective question out of experience. Would like to hear your perspective being an expert reviewer.
That bracelet retail price will make your teeth hurt
We need to teach Bruce how to negotiate for a better price next time...
Don’t like when Breitling overuses high polish on their watches and like they did on this bracelet. This beautiful Datora needs to be on strap.
It looks huge. Let’s ban all bracelets without quick adjustment.
So perfect you sold it 2 months later lol
First!
Argh, you are such a bad influence!
oh no, this silly hair is back
Nah this is a leather-strap watch
Too big, too thick.
