Sold my Rolex GMT Gold Stainless 15 years ago for the the price I paid. Could not wear it safely in Bangkok, Port of Spain or Detroit.

Stopped in Singapore for a Breitling Aerospace. Unobtrusive good looks that only another pilot can appreciate. (Read: No one will knock you on the head for a plastic looking watch.).

Very happy with it for about 3 years. Since then, standing in the shower will cause a malfunction. Water ingress. Perhaps I shouldn't have pressed the stem for timing when I was at 120 feet for my advanced diving course. The Manual says: Don't Do That.

Pilots should read the manual.

Last time it started blinking, I was on my way to Bangkok. Took it to a replacement specialist at Porntip Plaza. He said the battery was good and used a hairdryer to dry the watch out. Wrote on the inside of the cover. When asked, he said: One year guarentee. Returning Bangkok in April for my checkup and ceckout.

It's my duty.

About the B1. Details too small for these older, sheltered eyes.
