Someone on WUS is claiming that Breitling are phasing out the 43mm Navi 01 and will carry the 46 mm only. Could that be true? Wim, have you heard anything to that tune?

That sounds IDIOTIC!! So I'm sure it's something Breitling may do.

If true Yr Navi 01 will then become the limited of the limited. High chance of better resale value.

I find it very hard to believe , 43mm is already too big for a lot of people , but just about doable
46mm is out for most !!

Everything I hear the trend is for larger watches. I saw an INVICTA that was humongous.NOT FOR ME. And 46 is also too large.

That makes no sense why they would make a decision like that. Hopefully its not true or else I could never buy another Navi 01.

Absolutely. I find it very hard to believe... Then again it is Breitling we're talking about.

Wow!!! That's is the craziest thin ever if they do it. Hasn't the 43mm only been around since 2010? I'm glad I already own the colour combos I like! 46 is huge and I have a world which I love, but once I got the 01 43mm it was like goldilocks perfect fit!!! I can pull the 46 off even though I'm shorter, but the 43mm goes better in a dressier situation. The 46 I find looks odd if say your wearing a suit.

checked w/ an AD, seems to be nonsense, no plans to phase out the classic" Navitimer B01.
even Breitling wouldn't do that.

They might have looked too hard on the "Full Ling" discussion that was on this forum ages ago...

Haven't heard anything like that and my rep was here yesterday. The TOC 38 is out of production. That all I know. Would have heard it for sure if this was the case!
