a bit of background, here's the original 9/3 subdials, date at 6: Navitimer 7806-S, early 1970s.
would prefer the LE w/ the classic black dial.

It looks like there's a boutique exclusive Navitimer 01 model limited to only 100 pieces. I was told the 01 movement was modified to only have two subdials and the date at 6 o'clock. It's only available in a bronze dial. I think it looks great and was tempted to buy it. MSRP is 9720.00.

I saw that on the Breitling website last week. Not a huge fan of the bronze dial though. |

I typically don't like bronze dials either, but this watch looked pretty good in person. |

For 30% off I could be a fan... Looks good with the 3 and 9 subdial too. |

I must have read a different thread thinking it was this one.. It's still a nice piece that looks different than the rest. |

Heard about it a couple of weeks ago. Not too sure about the bronze dial looking at the pictures. Will have to check it out in person at the boutique here when/if they get one in. |

This is the 'muddy' bronze that really doesn't work for me. I have a bronze TT Legende and like that colour a lot, but this one seems a bit blah. On the positive side, it's good to see a different subdial layout with the in house movement, and at 100 pieces a truly limited LE. |

The SOHC is a beauty. |

Haha.. She was actually very knowledgeable. She knew every detail about every model I asked to see and even about the out of production models I mentioned. |
