Hey guys I'm looking to make a deal on a B1 with the 24 hour UTC bracelet. How have you guys that have hadthem in your collection liked them. Did you soon get tired of the UTC and how was the comfort on in. I have a 7 inch wrist. Thoughts and pictures please. Also if you never owned one thats fine as I would like to hear your thoughts as well on the look of it with the UTC. Thanks. :lingsrock:

Since you can set the LCD display to show UTC, I've never felt the need for a UTC module on a B-1.

That said, I think it looks good so if you like it, go with it.

I think it looks cool. Functionality, as Sharky said, is limited on the B1. :lingsrock:

hello mate,

i love mine!!! still looking for a 877a to put the utc on as mine is on a CWS pilot.

i bought the b1 when i saw Daveys in person at biggin hill airshow in 08 and love it got the utc at auction and the pilot bracelet from Ebay

its by a fair bit the cheapest watch in my collection and is used probably more than alot of the others its great love the UTC love the B1

dooooo it!!!!

only thing that annoys me is the overlap of lugs on the utc module over the bracelet BSA should have done that better and cut the side of the UTC link down from 21mm rather than 19mm so that the lugs didnt stick out

If youve found a good deal on one, go for it. Those things are hard to find and it only seems to be getting harder.

The price is going to be about 1,900.00 for the set with all boxes and paperwork. 2002 model. Thoughts on the price?

Never get tired of it. Comfort is great, love having GMT time quickly available while keepiing the B-1 digital displays dark. The module is the Cherry on top of the Sundae IMHO... :lingsrock:
Best,

Another vote for DO IT here too! I think they look great on the Professional series.

I don't own a B1 but I have had modules on my Chronospace, Aerospace, White Chronomat and Original Blackbird.
I like the look and I think that the UTC makes any model Breitling look better.
I say get it while you can.
