Oh wow, I really like this watch as well. The connection to that aircraft, the movement decoration, and dial are striking. I prefer it on the bracelet, a fantastic piece.

It’s nice.

And I believe you and I are the only two members to have either owned or piloted a 747.

Paul is still in the simulator but we have hope for him.

Haven’t seen a single post or video of this watch, besides the official stuff from Breitling. A flop or just not shipped?

I think its fine for those who are fans. If they allocated most to airport ADs and Seattle, Hong Kong, Frankfurt etc they'd sell out in quick fashion.

I saw one in person at the boutique, and can happily call myself a Navitimer owner now! During my time there, the sales associates received a few phone calls inquiring about the piece, so I'd say that there's quite a bit of interest!

That’s good. I think Breitling is way underappreciated. If you order via their site you get a gift too.

The boutique gifted me an alligator strap and some baseball caps. They did ask for some extra cash for a deployment clasp instead of tang buckle.

I haven't seen one in person yet, but it's a great looking watch in pictures.

[QUOTE=Chewbacca;12598486] I think Breitling is way underappreciated.

I agree. I bought a Superocean Heritage 44mm, blue dial, blue bezel, on bracelet a couple of months ago. I usually rotate watches regularly, I can't take this one off. Runs great, pretty watch, what's not to like?

The plan was to find an Omega to buy, bought this instead.

Omega was also next on my list too, but somehow "accidentally" ended up with a Navitimer instead! 😂

I took off from HNL, circled and landed a 747-400. OK it was in the UA simulator, but no one was killed or injured.

I like it if you’ve got the wrist for it - that’s a big watch (and I say that as someone who wears an Exp II daily)!

Normally I prefer bracelets but I’m liking this one on black leather.

I agree with Mr Ben. Typically like bracelets as well - But the Navitimer looks great on leather. Makes the dial pop.
