I like the fact that it is from GF as they have a solid reputation with prior efforts on Breitling. I don't mind the price and I am 100% sure there is no sunken date wheel. All of these I like. Maybe someone can ask one of the TD's about the thickness. PT says 12.5mm, InTime says 15mm & Breitling says 13.8mm. Do these guys even bother to measure?
I agree with you on this although I would always take Gen specs vs some other and I happen to prefer 13.8 or 14 over 15, but hey that is just me...
If someone asks a TD and gets one to actually measure it, please let us know. You know..... Inquiring minds and all that stuff.

I think we need to wait for a proper measure.. I am thinking it’s closer to 15 than to 12.5.

Wonder why Andrew at trustytime didn’t know anything about it and when I asked if it was GF he said no it’s some small factory...
hopefully efuly it is GF and hopefully trusty will post it soon!
May trade out my stratos gray navi rep for the blue dial..

PureTime just put it up as OXF & $388. You think it is OXF and not GF? One of the two TD's has it listed wrong...

Personally, I have no reason to not trust Andrew, bc if it was GF I feel like he’d been like awesome, do you want to buy one, I can’t wait to get it up on my site..
so I’m leaning toward oxf Bc trusty I don’t think has any oxf under the navitimer and ought know about it if GF..
although he did tell me that it wasn’t oxf but some other factory he did not name.. but he could have been wrong there or even wrong in both cases...

Kinda sad it’s not GF!
I have not had an OXF rep before..
There is a lot you can get wrong on a navitimer, so I’ll give OXF a pass on their version of the navi rep! I’ll be interested to find out how it’s quality is vs the GF premier B01!

Could just be a simple mix up with different TD’s listing as different makers...but yes I think it is not GF.
The A7750's can be pretty hit or miss quality wise and they are expensive to service and maybe even more expensive to replace.

Not to mention, if the A7750 is modded then good luck finding a watch smith who will work on it. It is highly recommended to service a Rep Chronograph when you get one because of the shortcomings in quality from the rep factory. Now, a gen Valjoux 7750 costs about $470 dollars not including the installation which in total is arguably cheaper then actually servicing a A7750 and definitely a better a long term solution. However, if the A7750 for this Breitling is modded than expect those costs to balloon upwards. This watch while initially cool, seems to be a headache in the making. Always go for a standard A7750 with the seconds at 9. These are the most proven movements and although possibly troublesome, are still your best option if you want a serviceable rep chronograph.

Interesting 1st and 2nd post......
You might consider having a look at the pictures in the op or reading what has already been discussed. This watch IS in the native configuration for the 7750. No mods necessary for this one.
Most, if not all, issues with the A7750 come about from adding additional tranfer gears and such. When in its native configuration, like this one, the A7750 is generally considered quite reliable.
All fair points. I must have missed that somehow, so thats good that its not modded, should be a robust piece. Now the only problem is that its Breitling thats not from GF.
