I've finally decided to spend the money and get my first "real deal" watch and ever since I tried one on about 5yrs ago I knew I'd have one some day! I have some cheaper Tag's and high end Seikos
Anyways, I want a white face and not an eggshell or off white one and I can't find any info on breitling's site about this....
Are there two white faces? Or do they just photograph different? In person is it like the normal white white or eggshell?

Jomashop has amazing ebay feedback but I have seen some scary reviews about them. Who should I buy from? I can't spend more than $6k and I haven't decided on the croc strap or ss band?


Thanks for the imput!

They are the same watch and both are real.

Personally I wouldn't buy grey market ever - no Breitling warranty that way. If you are in the US contact member jnelson3097 for contact details of Govbergs in PA or member FEAR for Provident in FL and you'll find pricing that is close to grey market with a 2 year factory warranty.

There are a lot of photos here of what the white / silver dial Navi World looks like in real life - just search the gallery section.

And quite often better than gray market pricing. The gray market just doesn't have the same pricing lure it did 3 years ago with subsequent cost increases to ADs, who are the source of the gray market inventory. When I bought my SOII recently, my AD showed me the computer screen for the watch with their cost, etc... and they made less than $200 on the sale. On the Navi 01 LE, is was only $500. (well, I got a pretty good deals though :D ). Not much to keep the lights on when you have a couple thousand to several thousand wrapped up in cost. Support ADs!!!!

Thank you for the quick replies and the contact at Provident. He has both my choices in stock (at very fair prices I might add) and i'll be down in FL on business next week so this will make the trip much more exciting!
