Hi everyone,

Just picked up my first Breitling and was wondering if I could reach out to the community for some feedback.

I picked up a Navitimer 01 LE (white face) with an exhibition back from an AD this weekend. They are shipping the watch to me, but one thing I noticed was that they put it in an ordinary cardboard box.

I told them I want the wooden box as this is what I see in many pictures online. Do any of you know what kind of box this watch should come with, and what papers?

I want to make sure I am getting everything I paid for, experience included!

I have attached a picture for reference of someone elses Navitimer 01 LE -- their box looks much different than mine and appears lacquered. I also attached a pic of my new navitimer :)

What should I do - any advice?

Thanks in advance,
Austin

Is your watch new or used? Which AD? Post pics of what you received.

I'm assuming you got a new navi LE 01 from AD. I have the exact same watch as you do and it comes in a cardboard box with papers. And the picture you posted about the other navi watch is an older model when they used to come with the Bakelite box so no worries.

Gold Bentley's used to (not sure if they still do) come in wooden boxes, otherwise it was bakelite which has now been replaced by the cardboard, so while it's not great, it is correct.

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

My Navi 01 LE purchased in January came with the cardboard box.
