I have the same question as the new Emergency owner. I just bought a new Aerospace. It seems it has the same "fast" hour hand adjustment. If you spin the crown fast enough the hour hand will advance without upsetting the minutes. I wonder how fast you need to spin it. I cannot seem to without moving the minutes most of the time. Is this a design flaw (unlike the Airwolf which is extremely easy) or perhaps I am not spinning fast enough.

R/

I am having the same problem with my Aerospace Repetition Minutes, can't change the hours even after rotating the crown very fast.
What can be the problem?
If this is considered as defect, can Breitling fix it and at what cost?

No it's a technique. And is why I took my Aerospace back after one day for a NOS B1.

R/ It's a certain technique you got to get to grips with I must admit but what I do not understand is the fact that you buy a reasonabely expensive NEW watch and the dealer does not walk you through the workings of this watch ?? What's up with that ?! I just don't get it. They should explain how it works "live" in the showroom just before you hand over your plastic to pay for it.

You have to get the hang of it. Visual snapping you finger, that is the speed to move the crown to change the hour, as well as move from mode to mode.

Aerospace crowns always seem a bit resistive to turn quickly, I think this gives people the impression they aren't functioning properly. As already said its more of a finger snap action. Similar movement, but as you say the Ariwolf seems so much easier to turn

It helps if you turn the bezel to get the rider tab away from the crown. The 15 rider tab sometimes interferes with the finger placement on the crown. dave

OK, I did try again and from about 20 attempts I was capable of 2 times only changing full hour. What is the technique? Definitely B1 has a better feel on this comand.
