Breitling Navitimer Question

[fischyyy]

Hey Guys,

I have been away for a few years from the rep game, but I was aware they released new Navitimer Reps last year.

I always wanted one, and now it’s time for a new watch... But I saw two different Types:

and a newer JF Factory edition 

http://www.ttw-1388.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_143&products_id=16923

 

(which on trusty I only saw in RG, is it actually available as Black Dial, Steel Case, Leather Band?)

 

How good is the “original” 1:1 from 2016? Is it worth to seek out the newer JF Factory?

And in general, how 1:1 are these reps compared to Noob Submariner levels?

 

Glad to be back, and thanks for helping!

Hello fishyy,

I bought a 2016 model of trusty some time ago.

(this is my)

This watch is very close to the original. Definitely more than any other Navitimer Reps before.

Due to the black date display it is not very noticeable that it is deeper.

The slight rule is also more acute.

The only thing is that the subdials are closer together in the original.

But this is only visible with a very close look.

I am absolutely amazed by this watch

 

The only difference that I see with the newer JF factory....

It's gold

Thanks, I'm glad you are happy with it. The JF is/was available in Steel as well, here are some pics of it.

If you compare yours to this one Friedhelm, would you still say it's similar?
