Hi all,

I was about to buy a B50, when I came across this excellent forum and read about all the issues.
Do you know if the latest B50's are OK? How would I know if it was a later model?

My second choice a Aerospace Evo, but I like the look of that B50...

Many thanks, you guys have just stopped me making an expensive mistake!

On the basis of very recent experiences reported on this forum I would leave well alone for the time being.

:yeahthat

While the B50 is a superb looking watch IMO (and will no doubt BE a superb pilots watch once the issues are all ironed out), I have to agree with TomP. Leave well alone for now.

Despite all the warnings, I went ahead and bought a B50 night mission.

Been together for about a week with me including doing 2 international flights.

Never had a problem with the crown, software etc. I pressed them all over and used the chrono for my flight loggings etc. works perfectly!

But for a 7,500 USD watch, and coming with a rubber strap....I can't wait for Breitling to start producing black titanium straps to complement them...

Breitling? Come on ?

Had mine for well over a month. Only thing I have noticed is a couple of times the battery charge percentage did actually go up by a couple of percent once or twice. Which can't be right? Never known a battery to charge itself!! Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it. But I love this watch.

I've had mine for about 2 months and I can say that I have not had a single problem.
