After thinking and considering a lot, yesterday I went to the Rolex Boutique leaving there with empty hands and ended up getting the Navitimer 01 Panamerican Bronze Limited Edition 43mm (Along with 3 Travel Cases, Gloves and Cloth as a gift from Breitling Boutique)

Although I will not rest until I get the SS GMT II Pepsi which is my main goal, I've got this Navi and I'm perfectly happy with it and not looking back !

Congrats sir, if ever a watch was made to be worn by a pilot, it is that.

SLS · 21 June 2018, 01:59 AM

Congrats! Hope you get the new GMT soon!

My first luxury watch was a Breitling (sadly not a Navitimer) and I have had a special affection for the brand since. Wonderful addition and it rounds out the collection nicely!

That thing is waaaay too busy to even tell what time it is.

How do you find both the BLNR and Hulk in your collection?

Shiny1 · 21 June 2018, 03:17 AM

Great watch

Largoshark · 21 June 2018, 03:17 AM

Congrats Fabio! Glad you decided to go for the Navitimer. It's a watch that has not gone off my radar since getting into this hobby. How does the bracelet feel? For some reason I've only considered the Navi on leather, but that looks great!

TRUST me on this: It is NOT as big as 99% of Earth's population thinks it is ! I have a 6.7" wrist and even tried the 46mm however, lol, it would be going too far haha ! Not so particularly because of the case diameter but more beacause somehow the case thickness increases quite a lot ! Idon't know why since it's the same Movement.

BLNR>Hulk>Navitimer and then, comes the Tag and Omega. But naturally, all the attention right now and the next few days is going to the Navitimer since I got it yesterday !!

Good that you've asked, Mike ! With me it's quite the opposite ! I am not a leather/rubber strap fan ! I am honestly considering this (very expensive bracelete by the way) EXTREMELY nice. Completely on pair with the nowadays Oyster in quality although the clasp fine adjustment is not as good and precise as the Oyster bracelet. Another annoying thing but it's a natural trade off, is that the bracelet is fully high polished and hence, triple caution with it !

I'm really in love with this piece and I know it sounds stupid or a minor issue for almost everyone but somehow in a funny way, this watch feels very masculine ! Not that Subs and GMTs don't but this one has some whatever special feeling when it comes to this hehe

Just using all of my charm

Well, I was actually supposed to get a gift since I bought it from Breitling Boutique.

The sales girl gave me 3 options:

A watch box in a shape of a book with a locker. I didn't think it was very functional due to the internal metal finishing (Useless for it's very purpose although a very nice box)

A nice Breitling Pen (I don't need another pen... I'm not a collector but already own a nice Montblanc and Caran D'ache)

A wallet (Totally not my type)

Then, I saw this fine travel case and asked her about it. She said when costumers take their Breitlings there for service, they return the watches to them with that little case. So I said: "That's my gift !! Give me 3 of those, a glove like yours and the nice cloth as well

!

Nice deal
