How did the B01 bezel get that nick name? |

It came from the fact that the font is a 70's sci-fi style font. When it first came out it was called everything from "70's Calculator bezel" to the "Logans Run bezel", but "Buck Rogers" just kind of stuck. |

I'm not a huge fan of the bezel, definitely like the brushed version better. I have accepted the fact that it is here to stay for a while. |

I think the new compass bezel using the same font looks pretty good. Maybe because it is smaller and less pronounced. It will look great on an 01 BB if it ever comes out |

I'll wait until I see one before I proclaim that. |

At least, now I know what it really attracted me to it in the first place, subconsciously.  I would really like to know what Mr. Spock would think about it. |

Because WE are the pulse of the Breitling collectors with no regard to hurting the brand by holding back our real thoughts on the models. No fluff here. Think of this place as a REAL Breitling focus group!
