Follow up order, Navitimer 01 BP White Dial On Brown Leather Strap

[Captain Insano]

Hey there folks, since I am still waiting for my first watch to arrive, I figured I could help (or further stress ) my patience and order a second one.
For this I decided on the classic Breitling Navitimer with white dial and numeral markers.
I will be keeping this thread updated for whoever is interested and to share the anxious awaiting.

20/02/24 First questions asked about stock

I Have been informed, that it could take a while for BP maker to issue watches. We'll see what that results in.

24/02/24 Watch ordered, order status "on hold"

It turned out, that the BP watch is not available anymore, so I decided to switch my order to the newer model Navitimer "1" from KOR with a White Dial.

25/02/24 payment made via crypto
26/02/24 order being processed
07/03/24 QC pictures received.

I was satisfied with everything, except with the printing of the "Breitling" letters on the dial, it looks like the B is not properly printed. I requested to check, whether this is not just some lint on the glass, as it appears to be similar around the 11' marker.
I hope it is, these appear on every picture I received from Alice, and I would like to approve but if it's a printing issue, I am afraid I would ask for another watch.

Hey there, thanks.
Uhm, I ordered it from Chazingtime, hence the location of this thread

We shall see, I am looking forward to owning it first, but will let you know, should that intention ever arise

25/03/24 New QC Pictures arrived and I approved of the watch
28/03/24 Package shipped
04/04/24 Watch arrived safe and sound

However, I have an issue with the watch this time.
Firstly, there was no leather strap included in the package as was stated on the website and the sales pictures there, which is a bummer, since I intended to mainly use the brown leather strap in the first place iso the SS bracelet.
Secondly, and more importantly, the watch I ordered was from KOR factory, the one which was delivered is not. It had a sticker on the fake Breitling tag which said BLS and the same appeared on the protective film on the backside of the case. I am quite disappointed by this, as i chose the KOR for their quality and accurate thickness of the case. Both do not apply quite as well to this BLS.
I'm not really happy by this and contacted the dealer to adress my issue. I am curious how we will solve this. I will keep this posr updated to share my experience.

During a brief explanation by the dealer I was informed, that BLS apparently took over KOR factory due to the police raids and they were not aware of that at the time the watch was sourced and sent.
I was offered to have the watch returned to China but I decided against that due to the risk it involves and also since it is mentioned many times here in the forum, to refrain from doing so.
Bottom line is, I will keep the watch, and I asked for some discount for the next order instead, which was granted.
Probably will try to sell the watch here in the forum once I've found a satisfying solution instead.
