You better buy it before Roff reads this. (Kidding Mod!!) Beautiful. And I really do not care a ton for
Navis, but that is really gorgeous! :lingsrock:

Not the ultimate Navitimer in my opinion.

Now if it were a limited edition of say 10 that had this movement with a rattrapante complication added then it might be the ultimate Navitimer.

Oh yeah, and that one's still for sale if anyone is interested :lol:

That piece is a knockout! Sell your house if you have to. Or your car.
But get it!! :twisted:

Very VERY nice indeed, but personally I'd still rather have a rose gold Bentley Mulliner Perpetual if I was in the market to drop a wedge on a B29.

I wish I could afford it! :roll:

I wonder what the service cost & time of this piece would be....twice that of say, a calibre 13?

Post subject:  Re: Does anyone want to help me out here?
id say £500-1000 a service, got to be more than the £600 for an 806 there are over 500 parts for heavens sake

hope they never have the audacity to charge extras on that model

I must be the only person on this board who thinks it is absolutely ugly!!! I mean I think there is about .5MM of surface area that is unused :roll:

If I was in the market for a Navitimer, I would rather get myself the Navi World. That is a much nicer looking piece IMHO, and would still have enough left over to get myself a Bentley 6.75 and a PAM275 Monopulsante 47MM 1950 Luminor!

Limited or not, I just would never be able to justify the expense considering the alternatives. But hey if it floats your boat.....

Sure there are watches out there which are prettier and more legible, but for a Breitling to contain such a complex engine, housed in such an iconic case - it makes a great horological flagship.

As another example, the Richard Mille RM003, 4 & 5 (and the Massa Edition :bow: ) extremely busy dials, but what a technological acheivement!!
