Well, at least I hope this is a watch we are able to get without the crappy sales experience associated with Rolex these days.

The flip side of this new Navitimer is that it is a too-faithful/literal copy of a previous watch. Why should that be a big deal? Would we want Rolex, AP or Patek to issue exact copies from their catalogues? Maybe it would have been more exciting to have seen a new “homerun” Navitimer simply inspired by the past?
To be clear, I’m just playing devil’s advocate here. I think the watch is attractive and I hope it helps to get Breitling back on track.
Anyway, I’m not so sure this Breitling sub-forum is that active in any event....
