Hi guys (and girls), I am a noob to Breitling - actually going to buy my first Navitimer tomorrow. It will be a 1966 gold-plated one with the serial number 1090305. See attachment. Any thoughts on this watch as well as a rough estimation on it's value in your opinions will be greatly appreciated. Attachment: Navitimer.jpg My main question concerns another watch that I just saw at a local internet platform. It would be great if anyone out there could quickly identify the watch and point me in the right direction as to where I can get additional information on it. Again, pricing information is highly appreciated. Attachment: unidentified.jpg Cheers Manfred |

+1 for 2nd . Your '66 Navi seems to be in good condition except for the crown , plating of which looks worn, but maybe due to the pic. |

I'd make sure the hour counter resets correctly on the Nav; crystal is wrong, but that's very minor; dial lume is mediocre. I am not absolutely convinced the sliderule isn't a refinish, Eric & Rene are our sliderule gurus and will comment, I hope, but larger/better pics would help. |

Correct, it did not start life as a Breitling. Looks like classic South American fakers at work. Avoid!!!! |

Just seen this Navi on eBay . The seller is in Tirana , Albany . Registered since june 2015 with 27evaluations , 100% positive . Maybe I am paranoiac , but I would not stop on this one ... http://www.ebay.fr/itm/VINTAGE-BREITLIN ... SwLzdWRgy4 |

There has been a scam going in Albania for awhile were one watch, all vintage brands, is offered for sale, sold, then pops up again a few weeks later being offered for sale again but in another part of the country. Buyer never gets the watch and is sold multiple times.... BEWARE!! |
