Certainly, for almost 2o years now. Unfortunately, with age, vision isn't what it used to be so the slide rule use diminished accordingly.

I used the ones on my B-1 and Bentley, never on my Navitimer. It is kind of hard to turn the Navitimer bezels so i don't bother using that one. |

Fun sliderule encounter during an official Breitling training session: A girl from the sales asks the agent to explain the sliderule, his answer: "Ask one of Your watchmakers, I cannot see the shit..." No comment BG Thomas |

Both my Navitimers came with the instruction book for sure, but I cannot remember if my B-1 and my Bentley came with it... not home to check right now. |
