Stuntman 0 Posted February 17, 2013 Hi everyone I stumbled across this forum while looking for the best replica Breiting Navitimer I could find after deciding I probably can't stretch to the real thing just yet... Seems like a great little community in here, I like it already. Anyhoo, my name is Jason and I'm from the UK and just after the best Navitimer I can find really! I've already checked out a few threads but I'll keep looking. I can see this becoming the start of quite a large collection! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuntman 0 Posted February 17, 2013 I've been searching for a great Navitimer for over a year it's not an easy quality rep to score. I've just been reading some interesting threads on the common flaws and they don't seem too terrible. Have you taken the plunge and bought one yet or still toying with the idea?

Bluejuzuk 0 Posted February 17, 2013 Hey Jason. A fellow newbie from the UK here. I'm also looking to get myself a nice rep Breitling. But I'm plumping for the superocean abyss. Read and search, then ask noob questions in flame free zone. That's my plan anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skin_oi_skin 0 Posted February 17, 2013 I'm still toying with it, i have seen a few good ones; a few months ago I was at a brietling boutique in st Thomas and tried on the gen as of yet I can not find a rep that has the correct bezel. As it stands I can deal with the sunken date; but for me the bezel on the gen is what really gave it that "pop" ya know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuntman 0 Posted February 18, 2013 That's the trouble I think I'm going to have, I know it's the same for everyone but it's going to difficult to decide without seeing it "in the flesh". If I had a lineup of reps to choose from I'd be able to pick one and know I'd be happy if that makes sense? Although I must admit to buying a bad U-Boat rep while on holiday once, but I'm going to blame that one on a mixture of beer, sunstroke and being naive... it stops at 2 o'clock every time haha. I guess lots of detailed pictures and using one of the trusted sellers on here will have to suffice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuntman 0 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Wow. My 'want' list has grown considerably since joining here I can't find a good enough Breitling Navitimer but I've found plenty of other watch porn to look at... Top of my list currently is the Balloon de Cartier Tourbillon. Oh. My, Days. http://www.1-pc8838....our-p-9690.html But also a massive fan of the Franck Muller Casablanca too. It's a bit 'marmite' I think, not to everyones taste but I really like it! http://www.1-pc8838....53-p-12347.html ... and I also seem to be developing an unhealthy Pam and IWC addiction like everyone else.
