While my Navitimer 01 43mm posted on page two by me is still my favorite Breitling, I am really liking this new release.

Personally don't like Breitlings. Not saying rolex is the best brand as i have many brands that i feel are better and equal to rolex. But i dont see why someone would spend the money on a Breitling when you probably save just a little bit more and get a rolex at least.

I love my Breitling, it was my first nice watch. It is about style, quality, etc. Not everyone wants a Rolex...

Save a little more? That new release I just posted retails for $10K.
A heck of a lot of Rolex watches can be had for much less than that.

Another angle.
A thing of beauty.
Just told my wife I am in love.
Knows me so well that without skipping a beat, she asks what new watch did I just find to buy.

It is quite simple... it is a matter of personal preference.

Let's face it, the Rolex is SO copied now, it is no longer unique or attractive to many watch shoppers. Me being one of them.

I'm sorry I can't really speak on price, although it's not much wiggle room being a brand new piece. Also I have a trade on this one as well, a few pieces are involved and it's a bit complicated. I will post pics as soon as I have it, love the display back on this piece!

Totally understand.
I have until Novemeber to see what happens.
Worse case, will be back at St. Maarten in March of 2017 as well.
The manager in their boutique there is a stellar guy. Told him he single handedly won my fantasy football league that year. His name is Jamal Charles. LoL
This watch is now officially on my hit list, at the top.
Can't wait to see actual wrist shots when you get it.

Again, congrats. It's a beauty.

Contact takuya (Thanh Do) - he hooked me and my wife up with some BNIB Breitlings with our name on the warranty cards at a great price last year.

I can't really split them but my top three would be from two Blackbirds, strangely both blue and you guessed it a blue Crosswind SE.

The Navitimer is the reason why I love watches, and the chronomat airborne 41 is growing on me...
