NAVITIMER REF. 806 1959 RE-EDITION

[breitling_spain]

The reissue of an incredible classic.

 

Will there be a good replica of it?

Man, I've been jonesing for a good 806 for years.  This one looks great!  Interesting they put the AOPA wings on it, but not the logo.  Still, what a watch!

I'd buy a good rep of it...lovely watch.

IMO it's a terrible dial.....it's so cluttered. Breitling, it seems cannot move beyond this...why? I don't know.

Hang on......

I like this quite a bit. The gen is priced at $8,600, which is about the same as vintage I believe. Hopefully, that will bring the secondary market prices down, unlike the JLC reissues.

It's still a terrible dial...the original had a porpoise...now it has none.

A marketing ploy.
