it was positioned as a "pilot watch" by Breitling and apparently very rigorously tested regarding chrono reliability, vibrations and temperature (or so they claim).

Thanks, I just got back from work and you took the words out of my mouth. I started with an 806 and consider the 734 it's granddaddy. I'm glad you don't come across them too often because life would get pretty expensive, pretty fast .
