Hi guys,

I am new here. Located in Europe and looking for a nice Breitling Navitimer 806.
I have already a Breitling B13050 Chronomat which I love deerly.

My main focuspoints:
- vintage '"look" and not those oversized 01 Navitimers
- a nice caliber
- the subdials located like on the 806

After looking for a while I came across this one (pictures attached) but not too sure on the state and possible rework of the dail?

Thanks for the information and feedback.

watch u are showing as an example is incorrect.
if u want something to look like an 806 you'll have to buy an 806 - good vintage to excellent pieces can be found at or below the prices for the current 01.

make sure to post it here so we can verify it, your example has a "boxed 10" dial out of a GP Navitimer, steel case and incorrect bezel insert

it is an incorrect 806, a mixture of parts that should not be combined.

Ask for more pictures ! This Navi 81600 has a Lemania 1873 inside, it is the 1st Navi of the Beitling SA era so not a 806 nor a "vintage" as we discuss in this section of BS. It cannot be issued in 1981 . Production btw 1985 and 1986 . Left subdial hand too short but not a big issue .
