Why is the AR on Breitling Navitimer reps so bad?

[Hooster]

Does anyone know why the AR on Breitling Navitimer reps is so weak? It seems like they CAN do good AR, as on the Breitling chronomat type watches. Why don't they do a better job on the Navitimer? Thanks...

It's because the current rep models are years old... they were produced long before the rep makers started to use AR.

(Moved to the correct forum area... please don't post brand specific posts to General Discussion. Rolex topics to "Rolex Area", Breitling related posts go to "Breitling Area", etc. Thanks.)

Interesting, many thanks. Any idea when they will start making newer Navitimer reps?

No idea. Only the Chinese know.

I agree, it would be great to have new and updated Navi reps.

It's such a classic watch, the reason I came here! So I'm waiting on a new version as well, most Breitling fans are probably in the same boat!

Josh told me once that as the actual models are still selling quite well they are not planing to put any more efforts in updating. I think the only chance is that Breitling brings a complete new Navitimer-model on the market (like they with the B01 replacing the BCE).
