I do have one! I received my Breitling AVI 765 Co-Pilot Re-edition about 2 months ago.
I really enjoy the Breitling B09 movement (basically the B01 without the rotor and automatic winding gears). In-house and well critiqued - and it's been around long enough to have the kinks worked out. The 70-hour power reserve is helpful, the winding has a good feel and the Chrono pushers have a nice chunky click to them. I'm quite happy with the movement.
The look is dead on for a vintage Co-Pilot, one of my favourite vintage Breitling. WatchFred did a wonderful job ensuring Breitling nailed the design. I am a little less excited with the light fauxtina lume. I think fauxtina will start to look very 2010's in a few years and would have preferred they just made it look "new". But the rest of the design is bang on. I own a lot of vintage watches and its nice to have modern dependability with the vintage look, for once.
My only case complaint is that 30m WR could have been higher, to be 100% bad weather proof.
I asked Fred about the bezel feel, which I was slightly disappointed with. It is a 12-click bezel, once per hour, which matches the original. My only complaint was that it feels a bit light and tinny. Not solid like I'd expect from a luxury (?)...or at least expensive....watch to feel. However, Fred assured me that it does closely match the bezel feel on the original. One day I'll have to find someone with the vintage version to compare.
The strap is pretty good - typical thick Breitling leather with a fun bright yellow underside.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it, with a few niggling things. I'm really really curious to compare it directly to a vintage version.
