Looks like most of the TDs are carrying the Navitimer 1 38mm rep in several colors. The case looks good and the bracelet engravings are nice and deep. A leather croco strap and deployant are also bundled for a reasonable price. Anyone getting one?

It's from KOR Factory, they do some great watch (Cartier Santos for exemple)

I'm not a Breitling expert but this watch is very welcomed , i hope they nailed it :)

38mm is too small, but does look very well done...let’s hope this maker has more releases lined up in bigger sizes.

I will most likely get the two tone one for the wife. Any thoughts on whether it’s worth springing for the Swiss SW-200 movement for $468 rather than the Asia 2824 movement for $348 on puretime?

I am not an expert, but I would choose the A2824 movement. I think it is very reliable.
In fact I am going to buy this watch with the A2824 :)

I'm not a fan of the watch itself, but the ability to rep the rice bezel is a promising sign.
In other words, perhaps it won't be long before we see a nicely repped Navitimer 806 re edition from Basel 2019...

Tried this watch on whilst travelling through a European airport this month and loved it. 38mm is a bit small though but the watch still had a nice presence on the wrist. I’m going to buy one! I’ll upload pictures when it arrives!

Looking at the photos again, I must also add that I think KOR did an excellent job of the details. The quality of it looks very good. Impressive indeed.

Where your daughter is
Well shit, just when I thought I was done (just bought a pelagos m2m and a ROCOS Omega Constellation ripoff today--the Nautilus version is pretty darn cool and good quality) I see this on Trusy's site when I was closing browser tabs. Off now to order one...….I likes my Breitlings.

I just tried this 38mm model in person. 38mm is quite small but I would buy 41mm version. It looks like Kor factory did a fantastic job with attention to detail, except the one fantasy model steel bezel white dial (this does not exist in genuine 38mm models)

The question is, will Breitling ever release these in 41mm? I'm game, but yeah, 38mm seems way too small...

41mm genuine models exist. I tried them too. The difference is that the markers on the dial of 41mm models have lume at the tip of the markers.

I really hope and wish that one of the factories make a super rep of the Breitling Navitimer 1 chronograph 41mm. This model uses a valjoux 7750 with the sub counters layout at 12/6/9 so would be ideal to be repped, as personally while I would prefer the Navitimer B01 43mm, the 3/6/9 sub counters layout would result in a sunken date wheel and it bothers me no end..

Here’s hoping GF/BP/KOR steps up to the plate.
