Welcome to the site and congrats on the B01. Interesting comment about your friends fakes.
Are they fake B01's or Breitling in general?

Just bought a Chronomat B01 two weeks ago. Pilot bracelet and dark grey / anthracite dial / steel case. Its fantastic, the only downside is the fact that a load of colleagues bought fake ones during missions and vacations. So people assume mine to be a fake as well. Then again, so what I know its real and I love it. Plus it gives me a sence of coolness looking around me in the dining hall, spotting a whole bunce of fakes. The fakes I’m talking about are just replicas of older models. I haven’t seen any B01 replicas yet, let’s hope it stays that way for a while. And the people wearing them, just colleagues, not friends. |

Thanks Bnewbie. Didn't know they were out already. Fortunately easy to spot though. |

Guys please correct me if I am wrong but don't MOST Swiss watch companies outsource some of their watch parts to Chinese companies, obviously in the highest secrecy  ?<250$/month makes much more sense than $250/day  >I know for one ROLEX says 100% Suisse-made in their manuals but what about other companies, for example TAG? The percentage of Suisse-made components must only be 51%, to qualify as a Gen Suisse-made product..... Anyone have an idea about this matter? |

This comes up with great regularity on the various watch forums. I have never heard of any evidence that it's true of any of the major watch brands. |
