The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I saw this Navitimer on ebay and -- except for the price, and the Seinfeld nonsense -- really love it. But I haven't been able to find other examples online of this model. Does anyone know what this watch is?

As stated it's a Navitimer QP LE from about 10 - 12 years ago.

Thanks, Roff. When I was googling that, the couple of examples that came up just looked a totally different shade of blue -- I guess it was the photos but the same watch....

Is it my imagination or is the LE No. missing from the dial, I thought they all had it on there?

Not the best colour, but a stunning model none the less.

I think the seller has just Photoshopped it out for the auction like a lot of folk blank out the serial number. It's got the "No." showing on the dial, so it must be there in real life.

It may well be nonsense. The watch he wore the longest on the show was a Chronomat on rouleaux bracelet. So if he wore this watch on the show at all, it wasn't for "many years." Later in the run he started mixing things up a bit, wearing a Navi on strap and the occasional three-hand model on Pilot. I'd have to go back and look again, but I don't recall ever seeing him wear a four-register Navi on the show.

But you know, even if that wasn't Jerry Seinfeld's watch, I've got a Chrysler Le Baron driven by Jon Voight.

Does it have his pencil in it too? I might be interested.

OK, I stand corrected. As it happens, I've been working my way through the Seinfeld shows for the umpteenth time (I have the entire series on DVD). I just started season 7, and Jerry is clearly wearing a four-register Navi, on what appears to be black calf. (Episode 702 - "The Postponement," in case anyone is curious.) I thought I would have remembered something that distinctive, but obviously I didn't. As far as I'm aware, it's the first time he wears a Breitling other than a Chronomat on the show. Whether or not the watch for sale is actually the one he wore on the show is anyone's guess.

It's platinum - teeth marks are possible.

that is 100% the wrong box for that watch too

Are you thinking the watch is fake?

no. but its got no papers, i wouldn't buy that watch with no box or papers

I wouldn't either, at that price. Then again, I wouldn't buy that watch anyway, given how many other watches I'd get first.

If it is indeed one of Seinfeld's watches I would ask for provenance.
