Natas78 its time to thank you for this beauty. I always wanted an old Navitimer as for me it’s an iconic watch.
I bought on the bay, a gen B13 movement (7750 chronographe Cosc certifié ), a gen Tritium dial never relumed and a set of gen hands (blue as for the a13022/.1 dial).

I used the BP Navitimer 01 as a donor. The JF Navitimer case was too thick due to the transfer plate of the 7750 movement, so the BP was the right choice.
N. did an awesome work and serviced the gen movement.
(Picts are coming via Tapa).

Really impressive. May I ask what the difference is in price compared to gen.

With the full service i spent close to 1100€ on it, but its a gen Breitling movement, gen dial, nos handset... and fully serviced, so its the same price as a « full stock » Noob Daytona serviced.

That was a lot less than I expected. Well executed sir. And congratulations to an awesome watch.

Give me a heads up if you ever want to part with it.
