If this was hockey that would be a hat trick. Looking sharp Serge.

It's funny how your collection has come full circle. It's hard to deny that the nav line is just awesome!

Just one thing that I've really been wondering, display back or classic solid back?

That trio is really gorgeous Sergio, I envy you. Enjoy them all. :lingsrock:

As for classification, it is a tough call but I would go blue (especially with the blue croc), black, white. MHO of course.

Really not bad for someone who was Breitlingless some time back. :wink:

Great collection there. I must have missed something; when did the white Navi 01 come out?

Hmm Sergio, very nice.
It is nearly making me think that this should be my next trifecta challenge.
But than again, I should wait until your lease is up ;-)

Thanks. I was thinking the same exact thing actually, I may try that next week.

Here is a trio of 01's, I wish the black LE had a black date wheel :(

Wow, nice threesome! I was out traveling for a few days and look what happens :) .

Just curious... guessing the white dial piece is actually giving the correct time? Can't believe you took a pic like that :lol: . Also curious to the lug length on the new 43mm case? I tried on the new IWC chrono pilot 3777 this week and wasn't sure I liked the new case/lug length dimensions.

Congrats!

Thanks, that photos is actually 3 separate photos taken at 3 different times which is why all the dials have a different time :) I'll measure the case for you, the IWC's are super long, the navi is perfect!

Yeah, figured that on the separate pics :) .

Appreciate the lug length measurement. I may run down to the AD this week and see if they have a Navi 01 to see. I like the blue and white dials with matching sub-dial color.

Looks like its 51mm long. Some of the Iwc's that I've had had been around 56mm, way too long.
