Navitimer 38mm Question

[ugalord]

Hi guys. Recently I found the KOR Navitimer 38mm. I always liked the navitimers but usually they feel too big. This one would be perfect I guess and I really want to have one soon.
I have a m2m wtb and also contacted sead to source me the watch.

So, now my questions:
Does anyone have that watch and can tell the quality? Is this a decent rep or are there major differences to a gen?
What should be looked at during the QC?
I guess navitimers are a bit more tricky than my tudor/Rolex watches

Thank you in advance for any help

ugalord I have bought a lot of Breitling reps and a few Gens. The only time I have been disappointed is when I didn't buy them from first-tier factories such as GF and BP. I looked in my files and noticed I considered buying a 41mm Navi from KOR. I decided not to buy it. I have bought a couple of SuperOceans from 2nd and 3rd tier factories because they were the only factory that made the larger watch. I had to lower my expectations. Keep in mind nobody is going to know you are wearing a Rep unless they are an RWI member. Most people don't even know what a Breitling is.

Ty for your input
So you think KOR isn't a top tier factory?
But still the problem is its the only factory producing the 38mm so i guess i have to take it.
Do you have any tips for navitimers QC in general? Havent had one and i dont really know on what to look

I find a picture of a Gen to compare against the Rep to be sure the Rep is close. Ex: sub-dials in the wrong location. Another example: I like the Cronomats. JF makes a very good one but uses a caseback with the wrong model number wrong. I compare model numbers using BreitlingSource.com. Make sure the numerals or sticks are not crooked. Check that 12 noon is straight, basic items like these.
For myself, I make a PowerPoint with photos from the TD's website and Gen photos to find the big errors. No Rep is perfect. I just strive to find the best one. That's what I do for fun.

I am waiting on the KOR. Others are impressed with it. https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/breitling-replicas/10422586-v7f-vs-kor

Thx for the link. I guess I searched too deep for the 38mm in general

Did you end up buying the KOR 38mm? How's the quality?

Yeah I found a used one but I sold it a while ago. Still regret it sometimes tho
Was a very cool watch and I'd probably buy one again if I manage to find one

Ah dam haha
How close was it to the gen? Contemplating between the two tone blue or the white
