GF to Release Breitling Premier 40 Automatic

[thumbsarehandy]

$568 Are you kidding me?

These are made by a factory called "原单" or "Yuandan", which translates as "OEM maker". Some of their watches are available at some TDs under the maker "OXF". They are pricey because of the Swiss movement.

Regardless what they call themselves, these have nothing to do with genuine OEM and the parts are usually from smaller, unknown makers, and may or may not be better than existing major players like GF and ZF.

38mm? Cute for a ladies Navitimer

It sounds really small, but because of the bezel-to-the-edge design of Navitimers, it looks bigger on the wrist than the measurement suggests.
That being said, I've been following the major TDs new releases, and nobody else is carrying this. There might be a good reason for that as the factory quality may be questionable. The OXF Navitimer 01 is pretty hideous, so I wouldn't hold high expectations.

That and the fact that the model ref on the caseback is U17325, which is for a gold model. This ref should be A17326.

So basically I shouldn’t buy the 38mm navitimer 1?

No one has seen one...and none of the usual TDs are even listing them as available. If you want to be a guinea pig, I'm sure we would all love to share in your first experience. I'll buy the popcorn.

PS. I would highly recommend communicating with Kuvarsit before placing your order and giving over your credit card. It may be vaporware at this point, and you can save yourself the hassle of a refund.

Yeah I’ve talked with him, he sent me pictures of the black dial version. Haven’t paid for anything yet, still making up my mind if I should buy it. Here are the photos he sent me:

I don't know if i buy this "swiss" movement, we have to see it to be sure...
Would love to see the white version, i think it is the best looking version of this watch...

The besel print goes to the edge. That’s a nice touch

Very interesting, waiting comparisons I wish Gen sample blue and correct..

Does Kuvarsit’s wrist shot show the watch with colorless AR? I’m hoping it’s just the angle and lighting.

Every time I have bought a watch manufactured by a small maker I have been disappointed. You would think after doing this 3 times I would learn.

I’m new here, so forgive me if i ask a stupid question. Is the navitimer made by gf? When is it releasing and to what td’s? Thanks

GF has not made any Navi's. The best are currently made by BP and JF. Small companies make some Navi's but the quality is lower

I really can't understand why they can't get the model number correct. JF did it on the Chronomat B01.

PT said sometimes ago GF is doing a Navitimer. I hope it's true ! We need a good Navi.
