andreww Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) To my eye the numbers on the slide rule insert are a little too far from the edge and the datewheel is slightly sunken. Looks like they did piepan subdials where the gen's seem more flat. Overall an improvement over the last version. I'd wait for a review on the whiteface though as it usually the color that is the farthest off the mark. The gen is more silver I believe. Black is the safest choice,but if you aren't a stickler, go for it. Edited August 21, 2014 by andreww 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mule play Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Definitely looking to get the black face one IF my brown croc BOB 20/22 strap will fit this case. Anyone know if a 20/22 will fit? If so, I will purchase immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraExtra Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 The sunken DW will bother me...what would it take to get this fixed by the factory? I suspect with this model out perhaps the Legende is not far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefastsicilian Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 where did you get that bottom picture from? Are you trying to compare the two with those pictures? I found that same picture in a forsale thread here : http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-breitling-navitimer-world-white-dial-bracelet-858786.htmljust saw you mentioned this earlier, please ignore my previous post.

B12b12 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have one of these = Received it today .... it is stunning !!! Mine has a issue though ; it seems that the hour hand may be one 'step' out of position I dont know what to do - return back to Josh who I am sure will help me out ( he is my TD ) or live with it .... It was super super expensive would just have hoped for better Also a point to not that the rotor is so loud and heavy It sound like a very loud kids toy on my wrist ! took a nice pic outdoors and sorry for the awful indoor pic showing the hand problem Anyone have a view on what I should do the the 2 problems ? Hands and Noise ? Any feedback much welcomed Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 The 2 issues should be relatively easy to fix without sending it back. The hands would be a 30 minute job for a watch smith. I presume this is a A7750 movement. Put a WTB add for a 7750 rotor and that swap is minute job once the backs off. Good luck, I think this watch is lovely. Just too big for my ikkle wrist otherwise I would get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B12b12 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ceejay thank you for replying ; much appreciated The hour hand and the gmt hand both are slightly out : is this just an install issue then ? Like the hands are installed one "step" out ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Put the crown into hand setting mode and get the hour and minute hand set at 12. Note the position of the 24hr hand and advance the time 12 hrs. Is the 24hr now at the 6 o'clock position but slightly less out of sync as it was before you started advancing the time? If it is, advance it another 12 hrs and you should be back to where you started with the 24hr hand in exactly the same position as when you started. If it is, then all that needs doing is the hands removing and resetting to the correct position. A 30 minute job for a watch smith. If the 24hr hand is at a different position to when you started you have a more complicated issue. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B12b12 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ceejay - yes exactly as you describe ..... thank you ... are the hand keyed in someway when installed ? I mean a finite number of install positions ? I know I am thread stealing a bit - sorry ! its Such a beauty - btw I have tiny wrists too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 No they are just a friction fit on to a circular pivot. But don't under estimate the care that is needed to remove and re-fit them in to the correct position. They are fragile little fellows Don't dare think about 'nudging' them round to the correct position, they have to come off, re-positioned & pressed on. Not trying to imply you would! If you was on this side of the pond I would willingly do it for you FOC. Get it done properly, it's a lovely watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B12b12 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Thanks ceejay , actually the watch has developed more problems ; one chrono button has fallen out and the bezel and crystal are coming away from the body .... I should imagine that one of the retaining screws has come loose .... It's on it's way back now ... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
