Hello folks. I am very happy to report that I got my first Breitling A23322 delivered last Wednesday and it never left my wrist ever since. I’ve been a loyal Daytona fan ever since I got into this hobby. I also have to admit that I’ve been a flipper. I can shamefully tell you that I’ve flipped some watches.
I never knew that I could love non-Rolex watch this much. I have tried Panerais, Omegas, Tudors, Breguet and 5167 here and there while I mostly flipping Rolexes. But nothing excited me like this does to me now. Dial size, thickness, weight, style, color combinations, history, flashness, etc.. checked every single categories. wondering if anyone has experienced same thing before. I just love this Navitimer!

Looks great on you!

It is an iconic watch and look. I've owned the 01LE and Sinn 903. The Breitling had the softest strap and I loved the infinitely adjustable deployant. The only downside to me was the WR rating and I eventually flipped it. I'd definitely consider buying it again (especially an older one with the wing logo) since I have other watches that can get wet.

One of the best looking chronos ever, if I got one it would be the same exact one

Congrats, I would love to have one too! Wait till you get into using the slide rule...

Urosfan · 26 April 2018, 03:18 AM

Looks good

No matter how hard I may try, I can’t even remotely begin to try to disagree with you.
Enjoy!
Mine says hi.

Lapin23 · 30 April 2018, 03:51 PM

I love it too. I owned Navitimer 2011, but sold it. During these years I have regretted it. Last December I bought it again.

Very nice.

Thanks guys. The Navitimer is still enjoyed as the first day. Now even more with this Natos for the summer.

No to NATO.

Really drags down the watch. Like a dent in a Bentley.

opawlows · 30 May 2018, 04:08 AM

Great looking Navitimer! Was checking out a 43mm Navitimer last week and it is definitely one I would like to add this year.

floopsy · 23 June 2018, 04:49 AM

love it!

Nucengineer · 13 July 2018, 10:32 PM

Nice choice! The Navitimer is by far the complimented watch I have ever owned.

superdog · 13 July 2018, 11:05 PM

wow. that looks really great.

congrats.

Thanks guys. My Navitimer is still busy in my daily rotation. Now she’s got new chrono brother, AP 26300. can’t have enough Chronographs. Cheers.

Breitling had the same effect on me !

Being so much a Rolex guy, I would never think that I'd love Navitimers so much !

Got mine 1 month ago and couldn't be more happy !

A.Petersson · 20 July 2018, 07:25 AM

I wouldn't take it of my wrist either. Intend to buy one in the future, looks stunning.

JP(Canada) · 21 July 2018, 10:16 AM

Classic. I have flipped a few of these now, and don't know why. Must be some sort mental issue. Enjoy and wear that classic in good health!

dlack · 23 July 2018, 06:17 AM

Here's a close cousin...the recent Montbrillant Limited Edition Ref AB0130 (40mm case, only 500 made) with "in-house" B01 column wheel chrono movement.

Gospodin · 23 July 2018, 09:25 AM

Congrats OP, great timepiece, love it!

Here's my GMT:

OK, you're a 'flipper', I'll give you a couple of months and it will be in the classified section ...........

Flipping is sometimes the quest to find what you really like... Maybe OP will keep the Navi forever... but if not, there's no shame in flipping as long as it goes to a good home :)

Thanks. 100% agreed on your flipping idea although I try hard to keep everything I have now. Lol. My Navitimer isn’t planing to go anywhere.

Congratulations. I’m glad i got company. Navitimer is special enough for any collection IMO.
