Breitling Navitimer Battle of Britain Limited Edition
Anyone know much about these watches, apparently only 75 produced, would they be a decent investment?

I don't know much about that specific reference, but wouldn't buy any watch as an investment, ESPECIALLY a Breitling...

Wait 3 years, buy one pre-owned for 1/2 price, then it's a good investment........er...ah...at least it will then hold it's value somewhat.

I would not bother buying a watch as an investment, you will only see how good it becomes in a few decades from now if ever it becomes a collectible and that status can change over the years many times.
That being said, if you like it go for it. It does not look bad, the writing is a tad big for my tastes but it's still nice. I get your point and agree with you, however, certain Breitling watches do quite well on the market. Find yourself a good vintage Navitimer, a 765, a 1004 or a 2005 and it makes a great addition to a collection.

I would recommend the original navitimer Breitling, though this LE looks great.
