Feels like the 5th time that I am saying this today, but.....

Pricing information is covered in the FAQs - #2 - http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles_faq.shtml#8

The size is a personal thing that only you can determine. It's small by modern standards, but so what - the flip side of that is it is similarly sized to many Rolex and Patek models.

Doesn't the watch have quick date setting or I didn't find it?

I simply mean that in recent years the trand has been to larger watches - 44 - 47mm is common.

Caliber 73 does have a quickset date.

No, time should be the second pull out. As I say I don't have a quartz caliber in front of me, so wait for others to chime in.

The first pull is the quick seting of the hour hands,the positin 2 is for the both hands.
I don't have the watch yet,but i had a really good look at it so i remember.
can it be it doesn't work properly?

On the CC the hour hand has to rotate 24 hrs to change the date. The date changes around 12 midnight. The time is unaffected by changing the date. The time in hours can be also changed without affecting the time. I think its call a jump hour hand.

Of course.

Breitling has committed to being able to maintain quartz calibers for a minimum of 20 years after they stop using them.
