Post subject:  Crown tube/Integrated case - which models past/present

Hi All
I wonder if anyone would be able to help me understand which particular Breitling models do not have integrated mid-case crown tubes?
I've seen quite a few reports on forums and google searches (subjective I know) with respect to mid-case replacements being the norm should there be any issues crown tube or thread related. As I understand from what I've read the aero marine series have this design across all models as too do the cockpits (predecessor to the Galactic41).
Does the latest Galactic series, 41 specifically still have the soldered in/integrated crown tube case setup?
I'm really on the hunt for a good preowned Galactic 41 (the 44 is too large on me) or alternatively a Chronomat 41 but just weighing the pros and cons of the integrated tube design - not that I am hard on my watches but also do 'wear' and don't baby them :)
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards

Windriders, which include Cockpits did not have integrated middle cases, Aeromarines, Professionals and successors did / do.
