Breitling B50 vs Emergency II

I recently stumbled across the Breitling B50 and was immediately impressed by its quality and integrity. I own a Breitling Emergency II and find it to be too large and impractical. Plus, the registration paperwork really hinders the watches secondary market liquidity. The Emergency is great to wear for international business travel, but really gets in the way as an ordinary daily-wear watch.
Does anyone own a B50 and how do you like it?

where do you need an Emergency for a business trip? Are you visiting a Cartel of some sort?

Try to switch from titanium bracelet to rubber one. I found it much more comfortable and use it for travel or water/desert trips.

Would be nice for GA travels. But the price point is very high.
