The Mystery of the Breitling "B"
Hey Breitlingers! I just noticed today as I was drooling on my watch, an inscription of the Breitling "B" on the ratcheted bezel's side at 57 minutes. Do you guys have it too, or is it just me??

I don't know, Gil.
Mine is still at the AD where I dropped it off last Saturday for the insurance appraisal. Hopefully, Mrs. Rockrolex is picking it up today.  When I get it back I'll check and let you know if I have the same thing.

Whew! Thanks JJ!
That's the confirmation of authenticity I wanted to hear I guess a similar manner would be to that microscopic "coronet" engraved on Rollies at 6 o'clock

Once the watch is on your wrist, it is impossible to notice it 'cause it's on the other side. I guess this is one way of stamping authenticity. Rolex does it with the laser etched coronet at '6' on the crystal. However, I wouldn't put it past those bastard replicators to somehow manage this tiny "B" on a fake!!
