Thanks for your prompt response, & putting me out of my misery in the process.

I also have a SA & was beginning to think I was going mad!!

Much appreciated.

Yip the lack of quick date is a royal pain in the arse for me as I don't put it on a winder and only wear it occasionally so usually I don't bother setting the date! Is that bad?

Congrats! I just bought the exact same one Monday night from my favorite AD. Same as you, I went with the silver dial. I have #61/1000. I absolutely love this watch!

Holy smoke! #61 - that's pretty great! Andrew, isn't yours in the 600 range? Mine in 595 but in the black dial.

As for the quick date, you are moving from the 9 to 12 position to advance the date, right? You are not going ALL the way around?

Andrew - I also don't bother with the date since I don't wear it every day and don't have a winder.

Concrats, i love the LE as well, but cant justify having them both i think.
It sure looks like the sohc is becoming a bit of a favourite breitling with the non-breitling fans aswell.
Its clean and classy, love mine to death.

Congrats with your new watch.

You can sort of "quick-set" the date by moving the hands just past midnight, then move them back to 9.00pm, and then forward to midnight again to make the date change.

I have the same model and was fiddling around with this until I found out.

I was very happy when I looked at the case back and saw 61/1000...very cool.

Ummm, you guys do reallize that these things come with owner's manuals, right?



I love it! It's nice to see normal people having good luck!

It was my AD that told me that there's no date quick set.
The owners manual states clearly that you should pull the crown out to position #2 to quick set the date.
No wonder you get confused.

Is that the instruction manual for the SOHC anniversary edition?

Wouldn't be the first time that the AD supplied the wrong instruction booklet.

Rof, err... I mean Professor Rof, mine came with a Ltd Ed version owners manual. Has the pic of the LE on the inside cover. Why do people refer to this as the 25th Anniversary? I haven't seen any document calling it that, just people here on the forum?

No idea why they refer to it as the 25th anniversary - typo I suspect.

It is the 125th anniversary LE - Breitling issued it last year to commemorate the company's 125th anniversary - 1884 - 2009.

Have you a picture of this watch please?
