Thanks for that offer, however I think I'm going to wait it out for a bit longer, especially through the holiday season! :lingsrock:

The A68 B-1 movement watch doesn't keep perfect time as Breitling state the A78 movement B-1 is 10 times more accurate due to the Superquartz movement's adjustment feature. (And even it doesn't keep perfect time.)


Won't Breitling update it to the B78 movement if it's sent in for service?

OP what size wrist is the bracelet sized for? Are all links included?

Sorry for the delay in response...hadn't checked the thread in a while.

To answer your questions, both dials are the same blue. Bracelet was bough sized for a 7" however I was concerned that it was not long enough and the buyer sent an additional link. Not sure how much that link would add.

No worries! I need at least 7.5", or I'd be interested. Thanks for the reply!

No clue honestly. If it adds a half inch than I'm interested. Any chance you can measure it?
Also how'd you get the white backgrounds in photoshop?

Yeah I can do that no prob. Watch is at home today, so I'll take some measurements this evening.

To be honest, when I originally bought the watch, I save the photos from the certified vendor in case I ever wanted to sell or wanted to send pics to friends etc., so I'm not sure how they do that....I'm no photo/tech guy :lol:

I understand that! Photoshop is complicated from what I saw. Thanks, let me know what you find out!

If the 68 movement was faulty or couldn't be calibrated to within tolerance. Unless under guarantee, the replacement could be at owner's expense.

I have a fighter bracelet for my B-1. One link adds about 12mm or a hair under 1/2" from what I could measure.

I measured the bracelet with the extra links and came out to 7-3/4".

Let me know what you think!
