Hi, I am new here, my first post and although my second Breitling, I am still learning about the manufacture.
Just to let you know that I have just bought a new Navitimer 01 LE yesterday from an AD in a country not far from Singapore. Just to prove that there could still be one lying around new.
I wasn't even aware that the model has been out for a few years now (the LE version with a transparent case back). I was only told that its a limited edition, with the number engraved on the side.
BTW, the week/year of manufacture is 4210B4, engraved.
So, keep searching, I am sure there would be one new lying around unsold.



That's good news, thanks for letting me know! Do you mind if I ask where you found it?

And yes, pics are a must!!

Its from an AD at the state of Sabah, Malaysia
I think, due to the coating on the sapphire crystal, the dial have a slight bluish shade, nice!

Sabah-where?? They have a Breitling AD there?
OK, seriously now. Breating have a very low presence in Asia in general.
Majority of the people here woud not even know how to spell it and even pronounce it ;-)
Spotting a Breitling in the wild in this part of the world is like finding a needle in the hay stack.
If you do see one then most likely the owner is a tourist or an expat lost in Asia. A bit like me.
As such I am a bit surprised that a Navi 01 LE has ended up the way in Sabah Malaysia and not one bit surprised that it was still sitting on the ADs shelve collecting dust ;-)
Anyway, mighty congrats! Great find.

Mine is saying hello.

Never questioned that.
Just surprised that an AD is actually there ;-)

Thanks for sharing.

If there is any critisicm to be made it is that you bought it before telling me where it was! :wink:

Seriously, great find though and if you do spy another one somewhere please share!

I am in Las Vegas for a trade show and the Breitling Boutique in the Forum Shops at Cesars Palace has a Navitimer 01 LE in stock as does one of the watch shops in the shops at the Palazzo (all white dial and sub dials) but I forgot the name of the shop.

There's some stock in Hong Kong's ADs, notably the Hong Kong boutique, the normal black dial (with golden breitling wings), and the LE are still there last week when I went.
