It is unbelievable but the watches have already arrived today.
Very well packed and incredibly fast! Andrew sent them on 12.08.
On 15.08. they were already in UK and today they arrived in Germany.
I have bought the first time at Andrew and I have to say that everything worked without any problems. He answers incredibly fast and is very eager.
Perfect customer service!
I had to refuse 2 watches after the QC, but what I got today looks perfect for me.

Let me bump you up a notch. I approved QC on the 6th & still don’t even have a tracking #, so I’m more unlucky than you.

Then I've actually been very lucky.

I don't know, i saw many here that receive their watches in a few days, even during this pandemic.
Last time i waited for QC for 15 days and to receive the watch it took a whole month; this time QC and tracking was faster, but since than....

OKAY.
You must see that I placed the order on 25.07. and rejected the first QC.
But the shipping was really very fast and the contact to Andrew was always very good.

Those are the top three right there! Ha!
im all about the navitimers! You must really have good luck bc, As far as the JF goes, you really lucked out on how good your slide rule aligned to the dial. The JF is squally pretty off, but yours looks okay!
its always nice to get that super fast shipping!

My package did not come with DHL. It was picked up by Yanwen and then by Royal Mail to Germany.
In Germany then delivered by GLS.
I have already received a lot from China, but never before in such a short time.

What would you say which Navitimer is better than the JF?

Hmm?
man, the JF black dial is really good!
The BP black dial Navitimer world is the consensus best and really only “super rep” navitimer.... if you can handle 46mm.
i personally think the GF Navitimer B01 blue dial with black sub dials was better than the JF in that the spacing is a bit better, the date wheel is not as sunken, the slide rule markers run all the way to the dial and meet the dial markers line the gen, and bracelet was great too... I just thought my GF was better quality than the JF I personally received.

Also, the BP a23322 white dial is pretty darn accurate as the datewheel is spot on... if you can handle the non functional minute counter as the sacrifice for it..
its a personal choice though that I prefer the correct date wheel to the JF operational minute counter..

Dont get me wrong, the JF black dial is a really good choice and frankly the only choice for one with the wings... your picture looks amazing and in my opinion better than the two to your left. The JF has had the best crystal of any rep I’ve received.

The selection was really not very big, because I wanted a dial with wings and 46mm is also too big for me.
I looked at the GF, but I don't like the B logo. I don't think it is a nice piece of work.

I also find the two on the left very beautiful, although I knew that there is no 1:1 of the Omega.

Yeah, I prefer the BP a23322 to the JF bc I like the nice datewheel and the 41.8 size, but the jf crystal is soo good and given that your slide rule is aligned the way it is, is take that EXACT watch over the BP...
I found another good black navi rep on trustytime that was updated and now has a good bezel plus it would have the right case back and just as bad a datewheel ad jf...
you made the best choice you could have and btw the “B” I was skeptical of too but it’s really not bad at all and if you really look into it, you’ll see that breitling uses a different B for the navitimer than for say the superocean or even the premier... so the B is fairly accurate to gen on the navitimer!

You're right. The watch is actually also very beautiful.
But as I said, if you prefer the wings instead of the B, the JF is probably the best choice.
