Absolute Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 So, I took the plunge and bought a White Navi that I had been looking at for some months. All in, it cost me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 All in all, I think it's a very nice looking piece. It may be a matter of perspective, but I honestly think it was better that you received your watch on bracelet instead of a leather strap. It's no secret that rep straps are junk (you'd likely end up buying a nice gen or aftermarket strap anyways). Interesting to hear that the slide rule lines up. Re: the chipped seconds hand... I'm certain that could be touched up if it so bothers you. Or, maybe hit up your dealer and see if they can source you a replacement hand. Can't hurt to ask...

Absolute Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 The slide rule doesn't match. the red 60 is 1mm too much to the left. And yeah, those cardboard esque straps are junk, I thought a higher rep might have a higher strap, but I'm glad he sent me a chain, even though I hate it.

hackR Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 well done...it looks great on that strap...nice pix, too if you email Trusty - he'll send you another hand...and then you could always replace it if you want...regarding the bracelet, why not post a FS in the tools/parts forum...will help recoup some of your costs... try out a Maratac or other comparable NATO on your Navi...you'd be surprised how well it looks...and the color combos are endless with your white dial...

Eton Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Classic! Congrats and thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Awesome looking watch. The think I like about the white Navis is that the date window is much sharper than any of the other colors. Great pics and thanks for posting!

deandavis Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hey, I'm willing to buy the bracelet if it's still for sale! Send me an e-mail to deandavis00(at)gmail.com Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovo1695 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Congrats on the Navi! Nice job on the pics too; much better than I can manage. I've been an Omega guy for a while but I'm becoming increasingly enamored with Breitlings. Every time I see a review like this, I like them a little more. Thanks for posting. Enjoy the watch! -Dovo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I had one of these. What made it better was a BOB for Breitling strap. The off-white is classier than if it was just pure white. @Ubi, the leather straps sold with Steelfishes and Evos are actually remarkably good, especially for rep straps.
