I know the BP world isn't a super rep but want to get an idea of how good it is. Is it like a first class rep or "just a good rep" but has many tells? What about the JF Navitimer 01?? I can't make up my mind on breitling!!

How good of a rep is the navitimer world?
- Thread starter AP_Superman
- Start date
Don’t get the Navitimer GMT SS JF. The date is sunken and has a few flaws.

BP Navi world is very very close to being a super rep. Biggest flaws (very minor) are:
1. Center of sundial are slightly raised instead of flat like gen
2. Gold colored numbers aren't as bright/vibrant as gen
3. Crystal tends to make a yellowed hue (mostly non-issue for black dial
And don't get the JF version. Terrible date wheel, mispellings on back, bezel doesn't line up, etc.

Yeah my question was referring to the BP one... I edited the original post to be more specific. But definitely want to know how good it is since it isn't listed as super rep.
This might be my choice of Breitling... I need a change up from how allllll of my watches look the same lol.
So the white one is great as well but just a slight tint problem? Can someone link me to the correct version? Thanks! I think I've finally decided on a breitling.
I'm thinking this is the correct one but it says 47mm instead of 46mm.

Watch Archive have a JF Navitimer 01 with the sunken datewheel fixed, so that mainly leaves the subdial spacing as the main flaw. Or there are decent reps of the older A23322 with frozen subdials, (often incorrectly listed as Navitimer 01).
One year on and still performing perfect. No service ect ...but the bezel did become very loose and had to post it back to factory reluctantly. But they fixed it and now it's fine

OK last question for this one... Since this is a chrono... does it have the correct hand in the correct position? If I am correct it is more reliable if the second hand is at the 9PM position right?
