First order with Trusty Time, Breitling Navitimer 01 (A23322), White Num, Brown Strap

[Captain Insano]

Hey folks, I hope this time around I will be able to lay my fingers on my desired watch, It's been hard to find one rep I like but this one looks promising.
Apparently it's made by a factory without a name but it looks good, with aprox. correctly sized case with and without the sunken date issue.
So far the communication with Trusty has been excellent, answered within an hour or two, which is amazing.

06/04/24 Requested availability and some q&a about shippment
07/04/24 Order placed, payment via crypto sent, reception confirmed. Waiting for QC Pics

And here it finally is, the A23322 with numerals. Long was I looking for it and finally I can see it in real life. I find it a very beautiful watch. The quality is OK I would say, rotor is kind of noisy but I can live with that. What I really find well done is the dial and the case itself.
Unfortunately the crown is quite bad, somehow it has a very wrong Breitling logo and I fool didn't catch it on the QC pictures so, my own fault but luckily can be amended eventually with a replacement. The strap is crap, but I expected it to be so, therefore I already ordered a replacement. The hands are wrong also, but I new that as well in advance and plan to have changed together with the crown.
The chrono pusher buttons are really tough to press, might need some lube but I read that the chrono function is to be used carefully anyways with this movement.
All in all, I am quite satisfied, I definitely will some day buy the Gen, but until then, with some mods I think it is a very beautiful watch.

I just realized, that my last comment shifted significantly more towards a watch review than a dealer review. My apologies for that, I just got caught in the excitement of owning this watch.

As for Trusty Time, I am more than happy with the overall experience. Communication has been consistently excellent with really short response times. I never waited more than one day for any reply to my inquiries, regardless of time or day. And even now, after I received the watch, he is making the effort to help me finding me modding parts for my plans.
I definitely can recommend this dealer and definitely will order here in the future.
