Can you kindly share your views and experiences. In my eyes is seems better then JLC 751, and I read Blancpains F385 have problems if you use the chronograph alot. How does it compare to Omega 9900? WatchBox talks B01: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL1kAttCwws Federico is very positive to B01: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebwpibQZTV4&t=109s |

Based on technical aspects, the movement is great and arguably one of the best Chronograph movements out there, even though one or two might criticize the escapement. More than 70 hours of power reserve on a chronograph and with date complication, rarely find an in-house movement with these combined features alone. The issue is usage in the real world, where many have faced issues in the past, not sure about now, but my 2 B01s have been doing ok after the last visit 1 to 2 yrs ago. My 2 B01s have both visited the Service Centre more than once before. Based on my observation on this movement, using the watch often reduces potential issues, including the Chronograph function. My definition of "often" is more frequently than many others. I am not worried if I leave a rolex movement unwound for 1 to 2 weeks, however I do worry if I do not do so for B01. Despite all these, B01 is still my favorite movement, whether aesthetically or technical aspects. |
