The wait is killing me!! I can't wait! I've been on the hunt for this watch for over a year now but was distracted by my PAM purchase. And now I'm about to complete my humble collection, well, as far as I can foresee. I apologize in advance for my ranting.

Make sure you post a picture, or better yet PICTURES!
Congrats on obtaining the final piece! (however, I doubt it will be the completion to the collection!)

It's a Navitimer from your sig, I would be very impatient as well.

tkc324 · 12 April 2011, 06:09 AM

I love the Navitimer... what a great watch.... would be my first choice if i ever get a Breitling..

jms_w · 12 April 2011, 08:50 AM

Thanks for all the positive compliments. Unfortunately USPS didn't deliver today.

Maybe tomorrow I'll be luckier.

Congrats, Excellent Choice.

I just did what you described. Last week I intended to get a Navitimer and ended up getting a Pam. Maybe someday I will close the loop and get my Navitimer.

I get my Pam tommorrow.

Cool! Which model? Look forward to seeing pics in the PAM section tomorrow.

Like you said, you seem to be following the same path I did. I'm thinking that you'll come back to the Navitimer soon enough. There's no denying it!

A classic watch with a fantastic history........nice choice!!!!!!

jms_w · 13 April 2011, 02:29 AM

I got my Navitimer this morning but I can't post pics due to Internet restrictions at my workplace so I'll post them tonight. I'm sorry about that. If only I could access my iPhone pics from Safari...

On a different note, I was trying to set the date but there's doesn't seem to be a crown position for it. Do I really have to set the hands to do this? I plan on rotating this in my collection and setting the date is a big deal. Thanks in advance.

Found my answer to adjusting date. Since 233x, no quickset. Have to turn hands from 8:30p to 12:30a back and forth until you're done. Pretty painful if you ask me, literally, on my fingers.

Anyhow, I'm only gonna post a couple of pics for now until I have time to get my better camera out. I was gonna post the triple boxing but if you've seen them once, you've seen them all so I'm gonna skip it.

Special Thanks to AlexCollector for a smooth transaction. Super guy to work with. Definitely one of the best on TRF.
