Hello to all...I do not know if I am posting in the right place, if it is not please forgive me. I am new to the forums and have already found a plethora of great information and I thank you all for that.

My question is regarding my Colt II auto. I never had a doubt about its authenticity, but I have noticed on the forum reviews that it always stated the bezel is bidirectional, mine is not. Is this something that was recently changed or is this something to worry about? Everything else checks out when comparing my watch to the forum posts regarding replicas and fakes.

Does anyone have any information on this :?:

The Colt Auto bezel is unidirectional, no cause for alarm.

The Aoerospace bezel is bidirectional. Don't know of any others which are - apart from the slide rule bezels of course.

Oh and BTW :welcome: to the forum.

Thanks for the quick responses and the welcome! This is my first Breitling and just love the quality. I have just one more question regarding the colt II, did it come it 2 case sizes? I see some say 38mm and others are 41.10, or is the 38mm dial size and 41.1 case size?
:?

Original Colt Auto was 38mm I believe, Colt Auto II is just over 41.
