Hello all. I'm new :)

Thought I'd share my recent experience of buying my very first Breitling. Started off as a nightmare but has ended perfectly.

So my favourite model is the Navitimer. Decided after looking for what felt like years to buy a 2003 montbrillant. Found a second hand one in good condition for £2,500 so I bought it. When it arrived I found that it had a nasty little scratch on the face that wasn't visible in the pictures so I contacted the seller who agreed to change the Crystal for me. I was obviously over the moon with that but when it arrived for the second time the watch didn't work :( At this point I'd lost the love for it so just asked for a full refund to which he obliged.

This time I decided to go over my original budget and just buy the one Breitling I love above all. The Navitimer 01. It arrived today and it's beautiful. By far my favourite watch.

If anyone is looking for a classy Breitling then I'd definitely recommend giving this one a look at.

Congrats, hard to beat the Navitimer. I have had a couple older models in the past, looking again at a newer model, 01 or new Heritage.

I found a lovely Herritage at a fair price and was seriously considering it until I clapped eyes on the one I got. The herritage, Montbrillant and 01 are the nicest Navi's imo.
