I just purchased this Breitling and have been doing lots of research on them, guess I should have before the fact, but would like to know your thoughts - the pictures aren't that great, but any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Better pictures would be nice. I think that it's OK, but need better pictures to be sure.

There is a Navi World fake that does a good copy of the dial but date is sunken and font is wrong and I don't think it has the correct pie tin shape on the subs.
Yours looks ok but, as Roff says, a good clear picture would confirm.

I will be getting the watch on Tuesday and posting more pics - I have learned a lot through this forum and will definitely read the manuals.

I heard that the World does not do well in water, I thought they are water resistant? Do you have worries when walking in the rain, or more so when swimming? If I should start a thread on a different page let me know.

Also, I have a smaller sized wrist, but always wanted the world, so figured why not - I'll post more pics, hope its real!

30M resistance means showerproof only so I would not recommend swimming in a Navi.

If you use the search function you'll find lots of topics on water resistance and plenty of links to this article on the site - http://www.breitlingsource.com/articles ... ance.shtml
