I went with a friend to check out some pre-owned Breitlings. I had no intentions of buying another watch but this caught my eye :shock:

B-1 model A68362 in the gray slate watch face...It came with box but no papers but I got a really good deal on it!

I looked over the user manual that I downloaded from this site but there is no explanation of what appears to be a little button on the side of the 10 o'clock positon. Can anyone tell me what this is used for. The manual didn't have any reference to this...

I love this watch the fact that its nice and robust but yet comfortable being top heavy. The fighter bracelet is quite comfortable. It retains the Breitling look even with the quartz. With a thickness of 16.5mm its the largest in terms of wrist presence that I have and I love it!

Here is another pic. The B-1 is clean with no visible scratches or dings!

It's not a button. It's for access to the sliderule mechanism during maintenance service.

I have to say this watch although not your conventional Breitling watch movement, I am in love with it. Glad I bought one even though it was an impulse purchase. It gives you the distinct Breitling look with futuristic features!

I spent months hankering after one, so glad I pulled the trigger on one from a forum member! Enjoy your B-1!!
