So I finally went to look at Breitling's in person, instead of going by computer pictures and trying to find the right one online.

I found out the following:

* Montbrilliant is too small
* Navitimer World is too big (for my wrists, gorgeous piece though!)
* Navitimer is just perfect

After discussing Breitling's with the saleswoman, who by the way was very knowledgable and pressure-free, absolutely the single best salesperson I have ever encountered, I talked pricing.

I realized that at our current exchange rate, plus shipping and duty fee's, I would not be saving any money buying a used Ling on the net - not to mention I'd have to worry about authenticty.

Therefore, I've decided to buy one brand new! Woohoo I am so excited!

Can everyone chime in as to how much they spent for their Navitimer? Curious to see how good of a deal she actually provided me..

The one I am looking at is this exact one >Breitling Navitimer with black face, black leather (not croco), & no tang/deployment clasp.

Congratulations!

Beautiful choice, and from many considered THE Breitling. I haven't bought a Navitimer myself, but a Montbrillant Legende, and got that for approximately $6600 (remember I'm living in expensive Sweden).

I got my Navi (pics above) from a UK AD in March of this year for my 40th Birthday and parted with £3050 GBP. This was for the same watch on Black Croco with deployant clasp.

My purchase price was before the price increase earlier this year and included £533.75 of HBOS Bank shares (VAT) :evil:

Great choice...! Enjoy your watch nevermind how much you saved you now have the pleasure of waring it.......! That Breitling Feel good factor...! :D

According to the wording, it sounds like I already purchased my 'Ling, however that is not the case! I merely talked numbers and browsed the watches in person, however I will be returning to purchase one in the near future (she hinted to a time where the sale price would be even cheaper - therefore I am waiting)

Also looked at one just now, only blue. Think mine (Colt) is a little small, but think this is very expencive for me.
