My second Breitling in a week, finding a mint Black dial B1 SQ these days is hard enough but fortunately thanks to Findo-400 (Gav) I've also managed to acquire the extremely rare Fighter Bracelet with UTC Ref:877A. I'm told these are rarer than Hens teeth and to be totally honest superfluous on a B1 with two timezones....but ever since I saw how good this combination looked on the wrist of CharlieH (Nick) I knew I had to go for it anyway. 8)

That's a lovely watch, I also just got a B1 but sadly without the UTC and with a grey dial. Wear it well, it's such a great watch, it's amazing they stopped producing it!

Awesome!! That is a wonderful watch, and even better with the UTC. Congrats on a great piece, and wear it in good health.

Hey mate!

Welcome to a very exclusive club :D

I think you need to come and join the Duxford 10 at Dunsfold Wings and Wheels August bank holiday.

Nick and I will be there along with the rest of the bunch. You'd be a very welcome addition to a great group of guys.

Gimme a call ok?

How many B1 UTC combos will be there this year Dave?

I'm counting four from the ten...

Hi Davey, an honour to be even considered although I'm not sure if the Duxford 11 would have quite the same ring to it. :wink: I will give you a bell tomorrow to catch up. :)

Great stuff Steve, it looks fantastic.

As others have said, welcome to an exclusive club.

The UTC, (or alien watch) as my wife calls it really does look at home on the B1.

Superb pics also mate.

Best wishes,
Nick.

As Norms (Hobsong) beautiful Chronomat B01 is almost within range I could see myself having Breitling number 3! :lingsrock:

Great find - Is it the one that was offered at TZ?

Looks fantastic! I saw the offer of this watch a few days back and wanted it badly, but I had no funds left over after pulling the trigger on the CSO... :cry:

Hot damn this looks smashing... I think a B1 will be one of my next B-watches... :D
