Hi all. Though this day would never come, but I was mistaken! So, let's start.
Quoting from breitling's website:
This watch has an amazing wrist presence. It's classy and at the same time modern, with fantastic lines and gorgeous dial. I've chosen the cream white dial because it's simply stunning. Never owned previous generation of navitimer world (only had a classic navi), but all of them suffered from quite awful flaws like sunken DW, misaligned ruler, incorrect date font, misspellings on the back and other small nuances.
Not so long ago a new version of Navitimer01 hit the rep market, I bought it and was very pleased with every detail, well, except for the sunken DW.
There were rumors about new Navitimer World since the beginning of 2013 (somewhere deep on RG). Year and a half later Andrew and Josh launch their exclusive project (for now) aka updated Navitimer World. Once I saw the "press release", I had to order one. It arrived today and it's simply stunning. Not only they have corrected the sunken DW (well 99%), the ruler is aligned, the DW font is correct, the dial is unbelievably well made, case-back has correct engravings, the bracelet is also "fixed" (end links on the clasp are not "once piece" as was before.. now it has 3 cylindrical spacers). AR on this piece is top notch, I mean the color and intensity are pretty much gen like. The only possible complaints are the bezel stiffness / unevenness during rotation and finish of the clasp (only inside).
Enough talk, let see some eye-candy. Tried to do my best, so please don't judge hard: (Rep always on the left, gen on the right.)
