i had that watch since it came out early this year. a very very good rep, i've tested mine and it's water resistant. mine, however, has a horrible date wheel, esp from 1 to 9.
awesome watch! nice crown w fat CG, great AR, polished cannon pin, perfect dial, wonderful looking movement! u've got great attention to details! superlume the dial and u'll have a 99% rep!
but i believe the QC of breitling has gone up. read several posts on TZ saying that the cal17 is showing <1s a day. the cal17 is a more complicated movement, so it has more things which can go wrong.
well, at least it's covered under warranty and any good AD will settle the problem without worries.
