Popped it off the factory strap and paired it with a previously broken in rough Hodinkee strap. Wears like a dream.

That looks very close to the original strap combo! Great choice!

Just put a Navitimer bracelet on the 806 and I could not be happier. It took a watchmaker to custom fit the end links to the case, but was well worth it.

Hi, could you tell me the exact model number of this bracelet?

It should be on the back of it.

While awaiting the reply, my thoughts are the polished pilot bracelet. Model 375A, I believe.

I am glad that Breitling chose to stay true with the solid dial (though blue) on the platinum version, as opposed to the panda dial on the RG version.

Merry Christmas to all!

Huge congrats!

I agree with you on the solid dial. I had a chance to buy the RG version, but I preferred the dial of the Steel one which is also true to the original version.

Merry Christmas!

[MoosicPa]

Thank you Skyrider! Yes I had originally ordered a RG version of the watch, but when I saw it had the panda dial I lost interest. When I found out about the platinum version with the solid dial, I asked my AD to order one for me.

Here are some side-by-side pics of the SS and Plat. editions:

Very very nice!

I’m thinking about putting my steel version on a spare black deployment Breitling strap

New Breitling Navitimer that will be shown at Basel 2019. It’s the 1959 homage to the famous Navitimer from the 60s. It has the original dimensions at the Reference 806 (41mm with bezel) and is powered by the Breitling Caliber B09 which is derived from their B01 movement. Hand applied lume and a nice vintage OEM strap.

I think it looks great!

This is awesome. As a kid window shopping and not knowing anything about watches I always loved the navitimer

Picked up my rose gold version a few weeks ago and really enjoying it.
The boutique was also able to get me a very meaningful limited edition number that I requested.

Absolutely gorgeous. Like this one more than the more monotone SS.

Breitling are value destroyers 35% down out the door if you’re lucky

This has a nice dial but depending on your needs - no date

No date is a good thing.

Show me a single 806 reedition piece anywhere in the world you can buy for 35% off. In any case, if your interest in life is acquiring assets that will only increase in price, stick to property and consolidated equities my friend. Buy watches to enjoy them.

I was offered 20% discount from an AD.

Both of mine the SS and Plat. models came with a discount. Breitling hyped this piece as being sold out and difficult to come by, however the reality is they are available through AD's and were even available for a time online through Breitling.com.

[psv]

I was offered it three times so far, I really like it, but without a substantial discount, it is not worth it, in my book. I think the right price for this piece would have been around $6,000 - for me with tax at a local shop it would have been north of $9,000.

Also, the action of the chronograph was surprisingly stiff and hard to operate when I handled the watch - anyone else experiencing that?

[MoosicPa]

Stopped by my AD's today and he has the RG version in the case.

[Bourbon]

that looks amazing!

[brucethemanlee]

i've seen it sitting in displays cases in two different ADs within a month

I think they can be easily gotten

i told one AD that i'd think about it and he said no problem and that he can easily get another one if the current one got sold.

[Helmi]

Just found it in breitling boutique in dubai (mall of the Emirates). I think you can get 10-15% discount and tax free. I was told they got 6 pieces but they did not mention how many were sold. I asked the reason they suddenly became very easy to get, the answer was that breitling intended to sell it online + boutiques that is why they were scarce in the start because they held the amount of pieces that were meant to be sold online. However, due to reasons he didn't know, they couldn't sell online and the pieces were back to boutiques and ADs. Not sure how true this story is.

Great shot!

Been wearing this non stop...Loce the factory leather, but I’m especially loving it on this comfortable mesh Crown and Buckle strap (Tudor BB style strap)!
