The Breitling Watch Source Forums

And I have had it for a wee while now but it is not getting much time.

What do you guys think, time to let it go?

You'll regret it!

Ditch it Al! I owned a B1 for about 24 hours and never warmed to it.....so obviously my opinion is likely to be slightly biased!

Willows\Driver, one plus and one minus.
I need some help here (generally and specifically), might have to ask the Duxford 10.

And indeed what to replace it with if it does go.

I have always liked the B-1 and hope to get one someday. I would hold onto it.

If it gets no wrist time what's the point? Might as well put the money back in your pocket or something else you really love.

And the utc sitting there in a box.
I was playing with the idea of the Avenger series. Have to talk with the 10.

I can share my own experience with Breitling multi-functions, primarily b-1 and Airwolf.

Anyway, I bought a b-1, and loved it. I wanted to use it as a casual grab and go watch, but also for travel since I frequently am in other time zones, including India and the b-1 handles the half hour zones better than any gmt I've owned.

Got an unsolicited offer to buy the b-1 for substantially more than I paid for it, so sold it with the intention of replacing it with either another b-1 or airwolf. I bought the airwolf, used it for 3 or 4 months, then decided to flip it when something else caught my eye.

Big mistake.

Within 4 months I regretted it, and it took another 8 months to find an Airwolf at my price point in nice condition, but I'm happy to say I did!

After all that, if you don't wear it you should sell it. But if you are just restless, I'd sit tight....the grass isn't always greener.....

Thank you.

I might just put the UTC on and give it some time.

Keep it - there is no other watch like it

I love the b1 but every one I've had I've been frustrated that the function changes due to my natural wrist movement.
Albeit when I look at the time I would have to turn the crown back to where I wanted it

this.
