OKay so I have a B1 Vulcan and have been searching for ever for the grey dial UTC. Anybody know if you can buy any UTC and get the dialed changed by BUSA. I have come to the realization that this UTC is almost non existent. Any advice from the Breitling gurus?

I assume that it's the same as a regular dial change - doable but expensive, but I would definitely check with Breitling before committing that a) they will do it and b) they have grey dial UTCs available for the switch (and obviously make sure that it is the correct 12 or 24 hour dial).

So a guy is desperately looking for something with little to no success... and you post a picture that shows you own (owned) 5 of them just to brag. Unless you are offering him one, I think that's a pretty crappy thing to do.

Question to those who have a UTC on a B-1; do you really use it? The B-1 does have a second time zone function, so just curious. Maybe for a quick glance? I have thought about adding the "co-pilot" to my Airwolf, but decided I really didn't need it.

It's possible I took it a little more harsh than intended. Also, it turns out that my funnybone was acting up... all is sorted now...

No problem sco, I've had the raging grumps this week too.

Do I use the UTC? of course! who the hell can work out how all the B1 features work.
