I recently took the plunge and ordered a new Navitimer World, black face, on brown calf from a Breitling AD. This will be my first Breitling. All in 4505.00 plus 25.00 for shipping. I was told the retail price was 5560.00. I really didn't shop around much, but it seemed like a reasonable price. Thoughts?

Sounds good to me but all I can only compare to is Euro/GBP prices! Well ware on it either way and do not dwell to much on what you paid... You have it now so enjoy it and your time here!! :thumbsup:

If you are happy with the price then it was reasonable. $5,560 is the correct retail price for the Navi World with a leather band.

I appreciate all the feedback. Now all I have to do is survive the 2 weeks till I get it. Excited is an understatement. Thanks.

You wont be disappointed. I will say though that when it does arrive take your time and read the manual particularly the part about the date setting. This wont take 5 minutes and will keep you from potentially ruining that great day.

This is a great post and a great example of why I think this is one of the best forums around. I just cringed thinking about how many people not knowing the potential damage to the movement that can be caused from improperly setting the date. Just the feeling of getting your new watch out, pulling the crown out and figuring out how it works and then snap.

I certainly remember the excitement of getting my first B not too long ago, and it can get overwhelming. I was lucky enough to have stopped by this site prior to it arriving, but I can imagine the horror of this happening. :mouthdrop:
