I bought this Breitling B-1 yesterday. I decided not the buy the IWC platinum, so this was a relatively modest buy in comparison, and a better cherce for me.

In Nov 03 the new model comes out and will be $400 higher, or more if the dollar continues in the terlet in value to the Euro. So I decided not to wait. The new model will contain an "improved" quartz module, but at 1 sec a month accuracy, I will have to endure it. I put it on an aftermarket rubber strap ($28) but have the official Breitling SS bracelet in reserve.

There is a clever reductio gear system which rotates the slide rule scale at a reduced rate compared to the rate of turning the bezel. Very cool.

Yes indeed RM, it is certainly a cool watch. It is quite 'handsome' looking.

Good luck with it and please do wear it in the best of health
