The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi again all,

Just spend a few days on Rhodes, where I picked up a looong awaited for Navitimer. I wanted one of those eversince this decease of watchmania started

I put it on my wrist, and I kinda have to say that it bothers me a little that I can feel it winding up as soon as I move. And quite clearly too. It doesnt make any sounds, but I just feel the rotor turning on my wrist. I cannot feel it the same way and so clearly on any of my other watches. Not even on my cheap Russian Vostok..... Is that normal for a Navitimer?

Thanks

Blingal

It's a wonderful feeling and it's absolutely normal - it's a well known characteristic of that (and certain other) base movements that Breitling use. To me it makes the watch feel 'alive'

Thanks Roff, I guess it takes a little getting used too.... It just feels so much different from everything else that I have worn. But a beutiful watch
