Javelin Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 Can anyone with any reasonable accuracy confirm that there is a Breitling Navitimer 1:1 rep coming this year? I am asking because to make it possible there would probably need to be a new engine to run it and I have heard nothing to replace the 7750. From the 7750 diagrams there is no way to get the date wheel to be even close to flush and a Navitimer super rep would probably need to have a reasonably matching date wheel. Anyone have the inside scoop and like to comment?
windyzz Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 Yeah I'm waiting for this Super Rep Badly, I cant stand the look of this beauty, If there is no super rep I'm planning to get the gen next year
Jawo Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 In order to correct the datewheel, the factories have to clone the ETA 7753. So if a A7753 is in the works, you can bet that many reps including the Navtimer will have a correct flush date wheel.
andreww Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 I would guess the the current Navi is about as good as it will get. I would guess that it is more likely that Breitling will more than likely change the modern Navitimer at some point, and possibly move back to a 6.9,12 configuration, or possibly a 2892 based layout. At that point we'll see a new rep (7750) or maybe not (2892).

I can't see them cloning an out of production movement when the bastardized 7750 serves their purposes. I'd just like to see a semi accurate datewheel.
windyzz Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) I think if they can make the Bezel insert smaller or the writting bigger and fix the dial font and font size it would be GREAT! Edited July 24, 2008 by windyzz
italiano17771 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 i hear they might be repping the legende....i would also love to see a good world with double Ar and correct DW.
bwhitesox Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 That is fact and it is due out very soon I hear.
drhydro Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 And, dammit, ANY of the Navis with an accurate SLIDE RULE SCALE!!! :please:
HauteHippie Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 That is fact and it is due out very soon I hear. Hmmm, I definitely like the one on the far right... It's different.
b16a2 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 The existing Navitimer is actually very good. If you opt for the 12 9 6 layout, buy a Lello datewheel, and het some double AR and it will look very good! If this doesn't appeal, as suggested it may be worth waiting for the Legende to be released
andreww Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 The thing I don't like about the legend is that it can only be worn on a SS bracelet

b16a2 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 The thing I don't like about the legend is that it can only be worn on a SS bracelet I never noticed that before! I wonder if there are any specially made straps for it. It would certainly look better on leather.
bwhitesox Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 I'm afraid the date window gives this rep away in a second...The 6-9-12 I believe is more accurate. My one has still got a little way to go but with a gen dial and lello it is geting there.
naik Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Accurate slide rule PLEASE!!! That would seal the deal for me.
Yannou Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Accurate slide rule PLEASE!!! That would seal the deal for me. +1 and a double AR..

magagne Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 The Navitimer Montbrillant Legende is a real beast, 47mm case, you need to have a VERY BIG wrist to wear this thing.
ta8088 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 i hear they might be repping the legende....i would also love to see a good world with double Ar and correct DW. Now that's one that I've been waiting/wanting to see made. I'm afraid the date window gives this rep away in a second...The 6-9-12 I believe is more accurate. My one has still got a little way to go but with a gen dial and lello it is geting there. That looks great! What all have you done to it?
bwhitesox Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Gen dial, Lello datewheel, and gen strap. I haven't installed my chief crystal yet because the crystal gasket is stretched and I can't find another gasket
Javelin Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Posted July 31, 2008 You want to sell that thing bwhitesox?
JAYKAY Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Anymore news on the legende coming out?
