Most definitely. That history deepens the meaning of that timepiece IMO.

Which would you buy? 1. New Colt 44 (white dial/brown leather) Or 2. Used B1 with Co pilot? (blue dial) I was set on the Colt until my guy pulled out the B1. The B1 was just serviced by Breitling, including servicing on the Copilot. It is used but the case is nice, band shows some use. He's cleaning it up today, I hope to make a decision soon. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks |

B1 anytime. Not so keen on the new Colt 44. B1 will always be classic, especially with copilot. |

Used B01 if it cleans up to your approval. |

I figured that would be the response. Not to mention the B1 about $800 cheaper!!!! I was ready to take it Saturday but he wanted to get it cleaned up. Hopefully I will be wearing it before the day is over! Also, I have a Colt II and wasn't sure about having 2 watches from the same series. |

I agree, I just thought it screamed Breitling, more than the Colt 44. |

B1 every time. On a Co-pilot?? Sure it's not a UTC module? |

I could have my terminology wrong! It looks like this: Attachment: copilot.JPG
