The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all,
I have seen a Navitimer Grand Premier for the first time today and would like to ask all your thoughts on it?
Is it worth having?
Any issues known with it?
Anyone got one?

Cheers
Neil.

I like it, could be a very nice dress watch.
It has 13 cal inside, so I don't think there should be any problems with it.

I don't have one nor have I actually ever seen one in person but I definately like the looks of them. At just over 39mm it seems a bit small though.

Also I have heard, and this is just hearsay, that they weren't that popular at the time they were sold hence the reason for the single year production. But to me the very fact of the probable relatively low production numbers coupled with what I think is a quite beautiful watch (although small) will make it a fairly desirable piece to collectors in the future. Just my opinion of course.

Yeah, they were unpopular as they were seen as too far removed from Breitling's 'normal' look. I like them to, but you should get the mineral crystal replaced with sapphire at servicing.

Thanks for the thoughts guys.
I may try one out.
Cheers
Neil.

Ps Roff the tip about sapphire is well appreciated!
