Never see a post about The Flying B or B3
I was looking at them recently,
really beautiful watches and huge discounts.
Why does it seem they don't get much love ?
Anybody have one ?
Would love to see some wrist shots !

You would think, there would be a market for something different...
other than Large Round Pilot or Dive Watches.

The rectangular style is very retro and elegant,
its pretty rare to see someone wearing one, for that reason alone there should be a niche.
If Breitling isn't selling them, its a failure of marketing.
They need to get that watch on the right movie stars wrist and they might be more in demand... :superbow:

I don't think that you can blame marketing for this. The biggest issue with the number 3 is that a jump hours is never going to be a big seller no matter what name is on the dial, and the pricing of these was truly ludicrous - you could buy them from ADs at or below their cost and they still couldn't shift them.

It's also, for most people, butt ugly.

I like them, kinda too pricey for me, but it's a nice change from a big round dial.
