The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi All,

It's been quite some time since I last posted. Looking to get advice from my fellow Breitling enthusiasts.

I have the opportunity to get another Breitling. I currently have a Chronomat Black Eye Blue on a pilot bracelet and black calf strap. I also have a Panerai PAM0111 with a dark brown croc and brown suede straps.

What Breitling would make a good addition to my collection? I am limited in budget to under $7000 retail. I am drawn to the Navitimer World in black or white dial. I am also considering one of the Avengers, maybe the sea wolf in black. What do you think is a "must have" Breitling under $7000? The avengers are close to the style of the BEB. The Navitimer is iconic and different from what I have, but on the higher end of what I want to spend. What is your recommendation???

Thanks in advance for your input.

I would do a Transocean chrono!

Transocean chrono is a great suggestion, however maybe a touch out of my range. Any in house movements under $7000?

The least expensive in-house movement is found in the transocean chrono and the Monbtrillant 01. Both of which are in the $7k range for the head alone. This might be a good option for you if you have straps you can use.

Navitimer 01. Classic Breitling IMHO. You can get preowned for under $7000 limited editions.

Buy a NAVITIMER

Thank you for the feedback. The Navi world is the definite front runner.

Now.... Black dial or White? Both look awesome and I am leaning more towards one....

Buy THAT!

usmc93 has a beautiful Navitimer 01 LE with a white dial and bracelet in the classified (the thumbnail pics are wrong from thread merge problem). Very classy. I have a black dialed one and love it!

White was my choice, love it! White will go with any leather strap and the bracelet too. Very classy.

I am going with the Navi World black dial. Now for straps.... what is a KILLER combo? I already have a black calf on tang for my chronomat beb.

Pictures are welcome

Brown croc looks balls with the black dial world!

Just so you know, your chronomat strap won't fit, the world has a 24mm lug width. I agree with matt, black croc always looks awesome! Although on Navi models, the classic calf always seems to go just right. You can always do a dark brown strap too. I like black faced watches with a dark brown strap.

I am going with Navi World with dark brown calf and deployant. Now I wait......

Nice choice, you will love it! I need to get a brown strap for mine.
