rikf Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 And decided to get a navitimer as my first rep, so I would like something that looks realistic to the untrained eye, I have been told the blue on the navitimer rep is not particularly realistic, is this correct? Is my choice for a navitimer a good one? I know its pretty hard to comment on something, basically I want a watch I can wear everyday, and I dont want people commenting that its a fake all the time.

italiano17771 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 with the lack of AR on this watch i would highly suggest you get a breitling with AR. maybe a swiss steelfish or a bce with some nice double sided AR. the lack of AR on a navitimer is especially bad since the whole watch is all dial....its has a very large crystal compared to the rest of the watch = lotsa reflections. i think you will be blown away with a bce or steelfish.....just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 From another point of view, you can get an AR coating for the crystal. The Navitimer is a beautiful watch, and I would recommend it is bought with a leather strap. If you like the style of the Navitimer I would buy one, and get yourself on an AR run. If you want one out of the box that you don't have to tamper with, I would go with the advice above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafwog Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have a Navitimer in blue, and it's definitely noticeably darker than the gen. Also, I bought it on leather and it came with a BLACK strap of horrible quality. I have since put it on a Di-Modell jumbo blue leather strap and it's transformed the watch and made me want to wear it all over again (in fact I am wearing it today). The blue may be too dark, but it looks smart nevertheless. For accuracy to the gen, however, I would choose the white over the blue face.

jb Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 If you're not going to get the black dial, which is my personal favorite, then I would go with the white. The AR is important, but it should not prevent you from purchasing the watch. I love mine (wearing it right now) and have been thinking about sending it out for AR.
