Time Spec: Seiko 7A28 RAF Gen 1 Chronograph
A few months ago, we showed you the manually-wound mechanical chronographs issued by the British military pilots in the 1970s.? Today, we'll take a look at what came next.In the early 1980s, the military forces of the UK went looking for a new pilot chronograph to replace the Valjoux 7733-powered chronographs they had been issuing for the previous decade.? By this time, quartz technology had advanced to a level of quality and affordability that made it the obvious choice for the new watch.?

B01
Hi Guys,Just joined the forum. I recently say the Chronomat B01 for the first time and am very tempted to get one. I was not a real fan of Breitling but this watch has me rethinking things. I have done some research and the reviews have been good.If I do go ahead and purchase it, how much off retail would be reasonable from a AD. From past post about Breitling, it seems 30-40% off but with the new model does that still apply? Just talking to the AD, they already offered 25% off. Any thoughts would be helpful.ThanksTexasHawk
