    Just picked this one up, and my wrist loves it. Its around 48mm but the short lugs does not make this look like a clown watch vs say a Railmaster XXL.

    I do have a question - my understanding is that this is a caliber 11 movement - the top pusher starts and stops the chrono, but does not restart. It needs to be reset back to zero using the bottom pusher to restart. Is this normal, or is this broken?

    .. and that slide rule bezel is a mystery..

    For me it hits the spot. Historical Caliber 11; octagonal case and geared bezel gives it a technical look vs most modern Breitlings, large but small-wrist wearable 48mm case can be appreciated by non-WIS.

    That is one sexy watch! Adding to the ever growing list of watches I will most likely never own.
