Breitling Navitimer GMT

[bowbag]

Yesterday I received my Ice Blue Navitimer GMT from Steve at the theonewatches. I'm pretty happy with it. I'm curious was flaws you guys see. I see a slight variation in how the strap attaches. The tension seems a bit stiff when I try to wind it manually too, I can barely feel the gears turning in there but maybe that's just the A2836 movement. Also the strap fits a bit looser then I would like, but that would proly happen with the gen too. If anyone knows how to make fine adjustments with the Breitling pilot navitimer strap with a butterfly clasp please share.

Oh yea, forgot to say, this is a BLS watch.

Your watch looks pretty good. Thanks for posting pictures. That's the downside of butterfly clasps unfortunately but they do look good. Sometimes adding more links to one side so the clasp is slightly off center can help but then it could look or feel weird. Nice looking Breitling.

I discovered a couple well placed pieces of blue masking tape on that inside of the strap do wonders for making it fit better. No more pulling out arm hair and a lot less sliding around.

Aw, that sucks it was pulling hair. I'm fortunate to have only had that on two watches in 15 yrs or so but it did give me a bald patch on my arm so the bracelet came off. It was a cheap folded type like a casio. That's a great tip about the masking tape actually regarding fit. I'll have to use that when I have a bracelet that I can't get the perfect fit on next time.

Was after the black or white version of this. Looks decent and decent price. Anyone know where I can find the black or white version?

 

[Thatwatchguy]

Ask any TD and see if they can source

I placed an order recently with JTime for the ice blue. Still waiting for delivery but sure they have it. I’m sure I’ve also seen it listed on OneWatches too. Any TD basically should be able to help.

Should the bezel not be the same blue as the dial - ie not white?

Bezel is a light blue. Same as gen. The bezel shade of blue isn’t the same shade as dial even on gen. Here’s a better pic:
