Gen and rep are almost the same, only big tels are the sunken date wheel, wrong sub dials, thickness of the watch and of course the movement. My Rep navi is really loud, I can't hear my gen ;)

I also took some comparison pics for you:

Yes, low beat unfortunately...

All the "new" Navitimer 01 reps are low beat, for some weird reasons.

Awesome pics above, thanks mate! [emoji106] [emoji4] Always enjoy looking at the Navi...

Yea the Navitimer 01 reps look like a mix between the Navitimer A2322 and Navitimer 01

Here is a pic of A2322, the sub-dials on the rep are more like this one, in terms of spacing.

That's because the old navi like the picture above, and the rep are basically using the same movement (The rep uses a valjoux 7750 and the gen a modified Valjoux 7753).
The valjoux 7750 and 7753 have the same sub dial spacing, so gen and rep sub dial spacing on these old models is the same :)

However, with the Breitling Navitimer 01, Breitling switched to their own manufactured B01 movement (so no modified valjoux movements anymore). And with the B01 movement the position of the sub dial changed. The rep factories haven't been able to replicate the new movement so their stuck on using a valjoux 7750 for the new Navimer models, thus explaining the difference in sub dial spacing now :)

Thanks for that info Breitluc!! The Navitimer was my first Brietling rep so I wondered why the 01 were like that, now its cleared up :) Appreciate it!

i've just bought one from Intime.co, very fast with communications and qc pictures, i think also the price is a little bit lower than other TD.
Now i have to wait a long time(3 weeks) since i'm from Italy and i have chosen triangle shipping from UK...
