Nice pickup and cool background history on it. Enjoy! Sent from my DROID RAZR

Congratulations! For quartz Breitlings, I have an Emergency and a B-1. Almost picked up an Aerospace a month back. I have the "multifunction crown" on my E, and you get used to it quickly. Enjoy, that's a beauty.

With the character thats been added in the combat field I feel it defintely holds more value, especially if pictures are provided. Great watch!

NIce one Fraggle, looks a beauty. Always wanted one of these.

Congrats on a great watch, and with that history behind it, its priceless mate, wear it well. I love this model Bert.

Wow really great pickup especially at the price! Wear in good health.

I really like it I have never seen it before. It's different that's for sure. The story is interesting too. Wear it well. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

A lot has been written and said about this watch, both good and bad. I had the white dialed version ordered and cancelled it due to a bad string of QC pics. I was lucky enough to pick up this one here, still new and unworn What are my thoughts now? It's a mix of very good and not so bad. The watch itself oozes quality. I find the AR on the cyclops to act a little strangely with some interior lighting, but in full sunlight, it's perfect. The crystal is pressed level and the date mag looks spot on. The finishing on the case is excellent and the bracelet, when all of the bits are QC'd properly, is a work of art. The clasp on this example looks 100% perfect. My understanding is that the watch took a trip back to China to get a clasp this nice, which in my opinion, is unacceptable, but the clasp is great nonetheless. The dial and more specifically, the lume, has been the Achilles heal of this watch. Is the lume perfect? No, but on the wrist it looks great. The white gold markers are much more forgiving when it comes to the lume fill. You can see every little flaw on the white dial (which has black markers). You can still see some flaws in macro pics, but even in the shots I posted, it looks damn good. It also glows evenly and like a torch. Should the dial have a matte or semi-matte finish? Yes, but under the highly reflective crystal, no one will know the difference. Is the hand stack incorrect. Of course it is, but with the hands being black on the ends, they float above the dial and you can't tell where the 24 hand is in relation to the other hands, unless it's under the hour hand. My watch is supposed to have the Swiss movement, but I have not taken off the case back to inspect it. What I can tell you is that it's keeping great time, has a good power reserve, winds smoothly and the 24 hour hand tracks dead on. Will it blow up in a month? Your guess is as good as mine. Would I recommend this watch? Definitely. All reps have flaws, but if you get a good example of this watch, it will be a keeper. Could you do some mods and make it slightly better? Probably, but I will be enjoying mine the way it is. Thanks for taking the time to read my review ... Marty

Good point from sneed above. Forgot to mention that my 3714 worked well for over a year (although with limited use) - only reason I had service done was that it combined well with a dial swap. Seems to be that QC varies of these movements...
