Went for a classic Navitimer, I know there is newer models etc but this was my first time buying a replica watch and I am learning what to look out for. Compared alot of real ones to this model though I couldnt find the exact same colour etc but I really like it.

Dealing with Andrew was a pleasure, gent from the start, I recieved photos of the watch after 3 days, I also live in Northern Ireland, watched arrived in 6 days.

Very happy.

Thanks again
:D

Frankaai this was my first rep purchase! Honestly, while it isn’t the most accurate of reps (slide rule markings not stretching all the way to the dial and wrong case back & date font) it was a solidly built rep and the movement outlasted other 7750 movements and overall rep was better piece than most other navi reps... I think this is a very solid build and as you get more attuned at what time get and look for, I think you’ll turn that thumbs down to thumbs up!
(best navitimer rep, if such a thing exists — which it really doesn’t for a navitimer 1, — is the 46mm navitimer world BP factory, navitimer A23322 black or white dial BP factory, GF factory blue dial navitimer b01 or JF factory navitimer 1 Black dial)

I thought my comments were all positive, I really like my watch and think its very similar to real thing, didn't mean to put the thumbs down, I'm trying to edit the post but I can't seem to

Frankaai but if you want or end up getting another navitimer... I’d stick only those those I mentioned and if you can wear 46mm, it’s no question at all.. get the BP factory navitimer world in black... if not that, most people will say the JF black dial... Personally, I think the GF blue dial is better but the BP factory A23322 has a flush, correct datewheel and can be frankened easily!

Thanks for the info I appreciate it, yes next time I will take your advice, I did try to get the white dial but it was out of stock
