New But HOOKED Just Ordered my First Navitimer

[jester69]

So i've always been a watch guy. Used to collect pocket watches. Have lots of old wrist watches. But now i'm getting into the nicer stuff. Never wanted to pay for the real thing. I mean my phone keeps perfect time. So it's the look I'm after. So i found this site. Freakin' awesome. Did some reading, and more reading.

 

Got the answers I was looking for and just this second, no pun intended, ordered my first.

 

Trusty Time Breitling Navitimer World GMT SS White Asia 7750.

 

Super excited.

 

Now I have to say I only want a rep that looks good, that should have been prefaced with that I'm a machinist. So my standards are high, but not as high as you think. I mean it's a rep. BUT DAM the pics of watches that people post here look freakin' amazing.

 

Anywho, that's my story. I'll post pics once I get it.

This one? http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_143&products_id=996

I hope for you it will be still available... Have you asked Andrew? It has been added in 2006, so it may be unavailable (and normally you'll discover this after your money has been taken)...

Also: it looks like if it is lacking the AR (anti reflection treatment) on the crystal. This is quite annoying in day by day use, believe me :/

 

In case it will not be available I suggest to divert your attention to one of these 2, which are recent and well done (and similar type of watch):

Also give a look to the link in my sign, it may be really useful for a 1st timer like you

@GenTLe, thanks for the suggestions. I wanted this one because of the white face and because of the larger case size, I gots big handz. I've already confirmed QC pics and have a tracking number from Andrew. I got lucky, next time (oh yes there will be a next time, as long as the watch looks at good as the ones posted here, and there'll be a third and fourth time.) I'll email first. Communication was excellent; does that guy ever sleep ;-).

One of the ones you linked to will be my next purchase, I'm addicted to Breitlings.

I did read your 'ten commandments' very informative, thanks.

How could you tell about the AR coating?

@BreitLuc are you a dealer? Do you have any reviews on here? A website?

Big hands? So give a look to the Bronzo Panerai PAM382 47mm, LOVELY and one of the top rep of this year

Andrew is a good guy, and yes, looks like he's always on the PC

 

About the AR coating? Well, what is not written is not present. Back in 2006 the AR was not so commonly offered, so if it's not written (like for the superluminova) it may mean that it is not present. Also looking the pictures here it looks that way to me (but I may be wrong): http://imgur.com/a/AC7Et
