A13022/B13022 Navitimer aka Old Navitimer II Build - Plz Help

[nikoel]

Hello Gents

I've been reminiscing about a watch that I missed out on by only a few hours back in late 2018. I said to myself that if I am still wanting this watch a year later then I will go through the build process myself

Now here is the exact piece that I so closely missed out on and still dream about - https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...ftang-ar-gen-dial-and-more-in-pieces-w-issues

I have a genuine dial already lined up for the A13022 / B13022 in black - here is the gen for reference https://www.chrono24.com.au/breitling/old-navitimer--id10423551.htm

The original features a V 7750 Movement *COUGH* *COOOOOUGH* I mean Breitlng 13 Movement

So my main question would be; what donor case and guts would you guys use? There are just so many options on our dealer's websites that I need to find a way to narrow down the field. Is there something I should be worried about when trying to fit the gen dial on to the Rep 7750 movements; especially when it comes to sunken date-wheels

Searches have unfortunately not revealed a lot

Any advice and information on the pitfalls would be much appreciated

Damn, that was a great deal for 425$! For the case I would recommend the BP Navitimer as I've heard that the gen dial and movement are a perfect fit.

What about the rep movement. Is it possible [wise and economical] to convert the rep 7750 from the BP’s 3,6,9 into the gen’s 12,9,6 subdial layout

Wouldn't make sense economically, you can find a few gen Breitling 7750 movements that will likely need a good service prior to installing for around 400 euros.
