I like mine, so it was worth it to me. Mine is a Navitimer World.

I am not too sure how big your dial is but the one I was looking at was a 41mm and that seem to suit me good:)

I love the Navitimer and think they are very much worth every penny! Such a classic design and the first watch I think of when the Breitling name is mentioned. A true pilot's that will never go out of style :)

The price tag was $6450 on the one I like, I am not sure how much off the AD will give me I have a call in with them, But I really liked that watch.

It's 46 mm, when comparing this to the regular Navitimer I prefered this just a little bit more.

They usually give quite a big discount on retail so be sure to ask and then tell them you're going to give them a good thought and post here your findings. People have stated anywhere from 22-30+ % discount. Navitimers truely works of art and most of the new line has the chronos at the 3 - 6 - 9 positions I believe with only 2-3 models in the higher end line up that still use 6 - 9 - 12

You should be able to get 20-25% off. The days of anything more are coming to an end since Breitling is raising dealer cost but keeping the retail prices the same within the next week.

25% including the 01 limited models should be the minimum.

All they will do is 15% off! I think I am going to pass on it, the real sale value is not worth it to me. If they gave me 25%-30% off I might get it.
