Breitling Group

[elisiX]

Hi All,

My new Skyland arrived today so I took a few group pictures and solo's as well. I had not originally planned to buy the grey dial Skyland as you will see in the following pictures, all my Breitling dials are quite similar in color/tone. The SA is black, BCE graphite and as I said, Skyland in grey. Ideally i'd like a white dial SA, blue dial Skyland and the graphite BCE but hey - it aint all that bad all the same.

Not the best lighting but you get the idea.

all three watches looks like gen! great pieces! were it careful!

Looking very good Jay but you need to find a Navitimer to complete the set I think.

Thanks for the comments guys. One day my Breitling collection might catch up to my PAM's

Future plans are;

1. Flying B w/ black dial and fit the genuine black calf from my SA and add a genuine deployant buckle.

2. Purchase and fit a genuine Pro II bracelet to the SA.

3. Purchase and fit a genuine Ocean Racer strap and/or Brown Calf strap + deployant for the Skyland.

4. Bentley 6.75 w/ white dial and have the crystal sent our for AR love.

I might just stick with the ocean racer strap on the Skyland though as im thinking of switching it for a

blue dial rather than the grey. I love the grey but its so similar to my Chronomat Evo. And the Evo has

to be graphite!. No TT watches for me thanks. lol

If I bought a Navi i'd have to have a flush date so finding the right movement in a Navitimer would be

the problem then. I think the Navitimer world would be my choice in blue dial.

I've also considered swapping out the genuine black dial on the SA for a white dial. I would have too

many black dial Breitlings otherwise. If I go with the 6.75 Bentley tho, I wont need to.

Took some more in different light after the previously posted.

For the Navitimer I would buy the white dial/blue sub dial serie special with the date at 3:00.

Brush the whole case and bracelet like the gen, Put in a Lello datewheel and send the crystal for AR.

Bingo!!

This for example mate?

ETA7750.. Brushed.. ETA DW (how hard would it be to source Lello's).. No Sunken DW.

Cant see one with Blue subdials, only this with Black.

Would anyone have further opinion on my last post? Really liking the look of this Navi.

Any idea's on sourcing a Lello DW for this? Obviously it would require the AR to be redone by one of our modders.

It is a nice Navi that one and I found a few posts below with the same watch which you might find interesting.

Not sure why I thought the subdials were blue but they do look black.

Lello datewheels are out there and I let one go not too long ago so put the feelers out for one.

How to brush the case:

I'm also not sure if Josh still has this one available with the Swiss ETA7750 but to be honest I would buy the Asian 7750 version.

Great looking Breitling family you got there man

[elisiX]

Thanks BROM. I've decided I must have a white dial so this Navi is most probably going to be it.

Josh's listing for that ETA7750 Serie Special Navi is "Made to order". The A7750 model which may be in stock, is not brushed.

The reason im keen on it is the fact its brushed from the factory, has an ETA movement and an ETA DW (can still hunt for a lello).

When I find a lello I can then have it pulled apart and the AR done.

The alternative is a 6.75 Bentley and get the AR done and it'll be set.

hmmmm

Here is the A7750 version which as I said, is polished.

And the ETA again..

I would hope that it being custom ordered that I might be able to swing Josh to ensure the AR is done well?
