Oh, yes. I started a topic on the old RWG to that end.

I like VCs but unfortunately most of the VC reps are of lower quality compared to high quality reps of other brands. Does not bother me much but I guess I have my fill. Overseas seems to be the only high quality rep. Still, I could not overcome myself because of the cross and buy the rep. Have you seen my smallish collection?

From what I see you could well be Jack the watch ripper

111H would be a really good start.

By 2893, you mean 2892? As to the differences, the main flaw is the size of the crown. the hands are not superlumed.

Talked to the watchsmith, and had him redo it. Another couple of weeks of waiting. He says it is my dial and the logo and wording was printed anew. Here's how it looks now. Don't like the logo at all.

BTW, here's the dial i have (in unrestored condition) D-A-M-N, I just noticed I was given a wrong dial. It is exactly like mine but has "Breitling Navitimer Chronometre" written.

Thank you The Zigmeister and PAMman for the info. I knew there were no problem with installing a gen dial in the Navitimer with 6-9-12 configuration. Mine has 3-6-9. Quite forgot to stress that detail.

Hi, I have embarked on a small project of swapping dials on my Navitimer. Have found a gen dial on eBay and had to have it restored as the quality was not so good. Now, the problem is the spacing is a little bit different. I made some pictures of the rep and the gen dial and measured distances on pictures with Screen Calipers. The measures are approx. as follows:..............gen....................rep spacing b/w subdials at 3 and at 9...............16.63 mm..........16.40 mm center to subdial at 6.................................... 8.19 mm............8.00 mm inner measurement circle..............................27.79 mm..........25.87 mm Do you think because of the allowances it'd be possible to still swap the dials? (Unfortunately, the watchsmith I found seems to be disinclined to do on reps something beyond simple tasks.)

Palp, I think it'd make sense to let us know in this thread when you're through with PMing so that those nervously waiting for your PM could relax until that time.

I've played with the idea of purchasing one. Found some for as low as $1000. Keeping my eye at a new (??) producer Francois Rotier. You can buy the following watch for €1300 Don't like all those diamonds and gold plating. Hopefully, they'll come up with an SS version. Here's additional reading re tourbillons (look around).

And yes I do think she can be a valuable addition to our community.

Well, sorry guys if I haven't stressed that enough but the Navitimer I presented the other day is from Ruby We've talked quite a lot about this watch on RWI so I didn't think it could be of any use to post the review on RWG2.

Funny, my limit is €10,000 Maybe the limit get raised after you verify yourself.
