braf Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi all, Just joined here, I have owned a real Breitling Navitmer Heritage with black face for the last 6 years and loved every minute of it, however always wanted another Breitling as a kind of 'casual' wear watch. I saw the Navitimer World with tan strap on Trusty Time and decided to go with it. Received the watch yesterday and I am over the moon, here are some pics: (Sorry about the little strand hanging around the top pin i've removed it now!) I was a little unsure of the 46mm face as my Heritage is 42mm (I think?) and whilst I am getting used to it i'm already thinking of chopping it in for a Montbrilliant Datora - does anyone have one of these? What are your opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davea Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Love that watch but the small things keep me from getting one.... Wear it well D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braf Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I know what you mean the recessed date wheel is such a shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Yep but with a dial as pretty as this, who cares about the recessed DW fWiW that strap looks great if it's a rep Edited February 23, 2012 by chronoluvvv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braf Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The strap is a rep, thank you for the kind comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Actually the dw dosent look that bad to me...not nearly as bad as It would be at the 4 position anyway. I also like the looks of that strap. Good looking watch...congratulations....and welcome. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 That is a beauty, how would you compare it to your genuine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebling Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Very nice! Edited February 23, 2012 by davebling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braf Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The noticeable differences i find are that the 'ticking' is a lot louder. I can hear this watch in a quiet room whereas my geniune I struggle to hear it at all. The 'self winding' mechanism is also considerably louder and can be felt through the wrist whereas on my geniune I can't. The blue tinge on the glass is a lot less noticeable on the rep. But otherwise it is very good. I will upload some pics of them both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchnuts Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Welcome to the madness. The next Breitling I can recommend you is the Skyland Avenger V3. Sent from my microWave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I like the looks of the leather...very classy. But Im a bracelet kind of guy most of the time. I wonder how your white dial Nav would look on your Heritage ss bracelet. I bet It would look dam good... again...congratulations and welcome.

I don't think there is an end link on the heritage, its kind of built in to the case. Don't even think you can put a leather strap on that model.
