Hi ,
You don't see too many of these around for some reason, had this one for the last 2 years and love it.
Don't have a leather strap, only the bracelet.

Yeah it's a much under-appreciated piece with a great movement. I had the Navi Olympus for a while and the B19 movement is very smooth indeed.

I think it's popularity is mainly confined to those who appreciate watch complications as it's certainly not an "in your face" behemoth like an SA or something. From a distance it's very understated and a lot of people tend to buy Breitlings these days for wrist impact rather than complication.

I wonder if there would be more of them sold if it came with the standard Navitimer bezel like the previous version instead of the rice bead bezel ?
I personally prefer the rice bead bezel on this model and think it suits the case size & dial colour combinations , but on the other models in the Navitimer range I prefer the standard bezel.
