Hi all,
Can anyone shed some light on this one?
I thought that B has brought 500 pcs of these as i have one in possesion and everything is the same of course except the caseback.
Wondering if somebody can provide some info. I couldn't find any other production than the 500pcs limited on the net. Caseback of this one states 750pcs.
Am i missing sth?
Thnx in advance.

I addressed this earlier this year over on WUS because I was curious about it too, but it's worth recording here as well.

From what I can see, Breitling have issued this LE twice and the two different runs just have different casebacks.

The run of 750 were released to commemorate the 75th anniversary of AOPA in 2014. They have "AOPA 75 Years" on the caseback and could be ordered with the AOPA member's name and member number engraved on the back too.

The run of 500 were release in 2015 and just have "AOPA" on the case back, with no room for additional engraving.

Both watches are based on the reference A23322 and from what I can see every other feature of the watches is identical.
