Quick survey on B01 problems

Alien · **Posted:** Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:30 am

Hi everyone.
Now its already a year, since the first B01s have been sold and I had a discussion with a watchmaker from Breitling, where he stated, that they hardly had any reclamations on their B01s. I have sold about 20 pcs so far and have checked my repair system, where I found out, that we only had to change one crown (customer hit a rock when climbing). There where no issues concerning accuracy or any other movement problems.

So I have to ask You, if anyone has already heard of any problems with the new movement.

Thanks for the answers.

A month ago I tried two B01s at my local AD. The first one all SS and the second Two tones with leather strap.
Just to play with the B01 movement, they know that I was not going to buy because I hate the crown, when I noticed that the feeling of the reset button of the cronograph was completely different.
I pushed the start button, the stop and the reset button of the 2 watches at least 20 times.
I told them that it was like if they put in those watches two differente movements. And they told me it was strange, that the two watches have to be identical.
I know that in some way a movement can be slightly different, but that was... :guns:

I have no other complaints due to I don't own one.

I know that one member had a problem - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18034, I don't recall any others off the top of my head.

No problems for me so far. Runs like a charm.

I've had my B01 for almost 1 year. It's been accurate like a quartz watch and very robust. Often swim with it.

I've only had my B01 for about 5 months, but no problems, very accurate.

This is great news. I think George from Govberg has a B01 I will have to ask him too.

Mine has had zero problems. I haven't taken it rock-climbing yet, but it has been dropped on the floor once with no ill effects.
