citabria72 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi all...John, and I admit I'm a newbie. When I took large pay cuts at my employer, I sold my original Datejust, Old Navitimer, Speedmaster Pro, Seamaster pro, Montblanc, and Deniel jean Richard TV watch. Just an introduction. I ordered a moonwatch from Sashwatch not too long ago, and got good service from him, although I did have some problems with the movement, and Brandon was happy to work with me. Satisfactory ending. Question: Some of the pics of theRep Navitimer slide rules look like the numbers are misaligned. That is, on the outer dial of the sliderule, by around 25 to 40 or 50, they are not lined up. Is this paralax error from the angle of the photo? This would make the slide rule innacurate or useless. I'm very attracted to the Breitlings, but I would like to know if any members have had any problems with the slide rules, and would appreciate any feedback!! This is a great forum, and I've learned a lot already. Still fumbling through a lot of the abbreviations people use, though. Maybe the forum could use a lexicon/dictionary of abbreviations. Thanks!

b16a2 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I havent got mine in front of me at the moment, but I remember that the outter bezel numbers are a fraction out of lie with the numbers on the dial, it isnt by much though, and I have never really noticed.

chrgod Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yes, the slide rule on the newest Navitimers and Chronomat Evolutions are slightly out. But it is still useful for aprox. calculations. The older Navitimer replicas (with the old 7750 movement) had the slide rule spot on, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLeGrande Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have the navitimer with the 7750b for about 9 months. Runs well and resets spot on, but it does not matter to me whether the slide rule is misaligned, because at 60 years of age, with my reading glasses on, I still can't see tose tiny numbers.
