R0NiN Posted July 5, 2010 Report Posted July 5, 2010 So I ordered a Navitimer from Mary. She sent me pictures to evaluate it before she sends it out. I am not an expert by any means so I was wondering if it looked good to you masters o' breitling. Here's Pics....Thanks! Uploaded with ImageShack.us
plaifender Posted July 5, 2010 Report Posted July 5, 2010 I'm not a navi expert at all. .but looks beautiful!
Navitimer Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Here's a pic of a GEN one: Most obvious flaws are the sunken data wheel, the white slide-rule (small numbers or too wide white space in between) and the dented bezel which is clearly thiner and better defined on the GEN one. I guess we have other Breit experts here who can give you better advice. Still, a great looking watch! Regards! Edited July 16, 2010 by Navitimer
importr Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 In addition: gen blue dial has a metallic starburst effect, which the rep doesnt date font is wrong rep needs better AR other than that, its still a fine rep.
Antstar24 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 damn sunken DW!!!!!lol looks good.. I really wish when they send pics for review they would do us a favor and line up the bezel.
R0NiN Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Posted July 16, 2010 Oh I knew about all the problems with the rep in advance, I read the Andreww review..just looking for general impressions and those sounded good, thanks guys...watch is actually here now and I'm lovin' it. I will post a new topic to announce as that seems the thing to do. Cheers!

Dizzy Posted July 25, 2010 Report Posted July 25, 2010 What i would do is glue the date wheel right to the back of the dial. Who cares if it doesnt work, at least it will look like gen. Just say u never use the date so u never set it or perhaps you can do the datewheel spacer mod if it applies to this setup. Oh yeah.. and send that crystal out for double AR
