My new B-1 arrived yesterday from Andrew Michaels Jewellers, earlier than expected!

I didnt have long before heading off to work, so managed to change to the calf strap that I purchased from Ron and take some shots.

Not the best, will get some close ups of her later, but here goes:

She is in MINT condition, perfect in every way. I managed to align the "60" last night whilst at the gate waiting for the passengers to board, my co-pilot thought i was a bit weird!
I can't stop playing with or looking at it.

Regards,

Rob

Perfect choice, wear it in good health :lingsrock:

I got the same watch from Andrew a year ago. Since then, it deviated exactly 0 (zero) seconds from the atomic clock. It's a fantastic watch.

I hope you're still talking about your watch there! :shock: :wink: :lol:

Many congrats on picking up a new B-1 so many years after it was discontinued. That's one watch that really does look like an Instrument for a Professional. Nice going! :thumbsup:

I cannot say how much it pleases me that a Pilot wears The Pilots watch!

Nice!

Hey fly boy!

Wonderful watch!

The B1 was my 1st Breitling and my 1st expensive watch. I had the chronolog open by my bedside for a year while saving up for it, it was my 40th birthday present to myself. I added the UTC last year.

I wear the B1 as my beater as I've found it to be pretty much indestructible. Loading trucks, building stuff, I even found it on my wrist at -20m Diving...oops forgot to take it off....but it had no ill effects.

Enjoy it to the full, don't worry about breaking it, it's a tough and reliable as your good friend the 737.

Certainly! That is why we have two up front :wink:

It is a fantastic piece, great for work and play.

Merli, Not intruding at ALL! Enjoy your purchase. They are a very nice piece, in fact I nearly purchased one before getting my B-1.
