Corgi Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 I really wanted a reliable chronograph with 3-6-9 dial configuration that could substitute for a Daytona which I constantly lusted after. Unfortunately, the constant worry of having a defective Daytona arrive at my doorstop influenced me to look elsewhere. My choice here was purely based on movement reliability instead of what I truly wanted - but the risky decision payed off, big time. The Breitling Navitimer took the helm, and exceeded my expectations in absolutely every department. Accuracy, appearance, quality of build - all are very respectable. The funny thing is, after owning it, I no longer want a Daytona - and instead another Breitling! This is surprising to me, because I really didn't think it could out-do the 'bling factor' of the TT daytona I wanted. All I can say is that it's mirror-like finish is so shiny, that on a sunny day, it glows like a beautiful horological orb. Let the pictures speak for themselves. I bought the piece from Joshua, and it is perfect in every way. If you are looking for a Breitling, I would definitely recommend him!
b16a2 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Another converted Breitling fan Looks vrilliant, I have the black version with subdials at 12 9 6, and they are very well made! Can I recommend a brown strap?
robertk Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Great looking watch. These Breitlings are definitely underrated. I believe they are the equal of the Daytona's despite the marketing hype.
