I will say I've bought a half dozen Breitling's from these guys and they've always been accurately described.

Look the other offers of this seller: always been accurately described.

and 18 Kt Gold is also accurately ?

Common error on many Breitling descriptions.

nice comment

Ask yourself, what would you say about this watch if this watch was shown to us by a certain german person ?

From Kurt's site;

"The movement they used in 1954, and the first half of 1955, was the famous Valjoux 72. In the beginning, it didn’t have a reference number printed on the back. It wasn't until 1955 that the reference number officially became 806. Nobody knows for certain how many Navitimers were produced with the Valjoux 72 movement , but it’s beyond any doubt that it was a very limited number, thus the Valjoux 72 Navitimer has become a kind of cult watch for Navitimer collectors all over the world.

<returning to the original post>

-: The case obviously belongs to a V72 watch , as the pushers are offset and a venus movement wouldnt fit this case
-: the dial with the slightly down turned wings points to a V72 Mvmnt
-: the small rice beads bezel is correct
-: hands are silver , not white , which seems correct

the 'fit ring' to make the Movement fit in the case is typical of an early Navitimer , but in this case its looks awfully new , remade or replaced maybe ?
and the case back of a 806 Navi with a 178 movement sacrificed to make it complete ?

if it had a caseback without 806 it would have been sold for the asking price already as its in a very acceptable condition. hell , I would have bought it already if it didnt have the 806 on the back

Hi Kurt ., whats the correct term for that 'fit ring' ??

Have you had any luck on finding the serial number ?

and thanks for sharing the updated article , I learn of new opinions and findings everytime
