He hasnt exactly said that,he said oficial Breitling prime centre {not sure what that is} and documents will be provided to buyer but {what documents} Just ask him for the serial number and ring BUK yourself,hope you get a bargain but be careful if you live near go and see the watch

It looks good to me. Wait for some more opinions though.

:real: No question.

For future ref, it passes the 2 basic Navitimer tells: sunken date wheel and misaligned slide rule.

Good, as the photo was taken on my couch today.

Purchased from watchfinder.co.uk, delivered today.

2005 model, serviced in house by watchfinder, literally not a mark on the bracelet or the crystal. 1 year guarantee too which is nice.
Just want to ensure that the timekeeping is within COSC spec which it seems to be after 12 hours.

Overall delighted with the look and finish of the watch, the bezel is super tight (which i believe is normal). Also had a bit of a 'moment' when i tried to change the date and the crown position 2 wheel wouldn't engage (i didnt realise that only the cal 13 had quickset, not the cal 23), nothing that a quick call to watchfinder didn't sort.

Also missing the COSC (which i can get from the AD for £30) and the only other thing is the serial number bit on the warranty card has been filled in with the model number, not the serial number, i have called the original jeweller who sold the watch to try to tie that one up - so fingers crossed.

looks good on the wrist too, glad i didn't go for the world now. I like the subdial contrast and I have secretly wanted one of these for years. Maybe the world will be a second purchase...........

Anyway - mods, if you feel the need please move this to the gallery section.

Quick wrist shot..
