Hey all, noob here, first post and I'm diggin' all the love the Breitlings get here in this forum. I've done my research, cruised around dealer galleries and the most excellent Trusty Time and Perfect-Clones sites and I see tons of different Navitimers, Navitimer Special Series, and even Breitling Bentley GTs, but I can't ever seem to find a rep of my favorite Breit, the Navitimer Heritage (below)




Does a good rep of this watch even exist? If so, are there any dealers I can turn to source it? It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to manufacture...maybe the demand isn't there? Anyone else a fan of the look? Btw, I'm super stoked to hear about the 46mm Bell & Ross... can't wait to get my hands on one :D


Respect,

The problem with repping the heritage is that the only chrono movements currently being used are the 7750 and the Seagull (Venus / Lemania). Both these movements have a wide subdial spacing, and the Seagull has no date feature, so the only choice is the 7750. The heritage has very tight subdial spacing and the seconds run at the 3:00 subdial. The 7750 has wide spacing and seconds run at the 9:00 subdial. So, there is no suitable movement, and you will likely never see a decent rep of the heritage.

Seems like there are enough chronos out there with tight subdial spacing worth replicating - maybe they'll make a new asian movement that fixes the problem (I'd love one of these and a seamaster black chrono)

There are plenty of great watches out there that use the 7750 that haven't been repped yet! I'd love a Fortis chrono!

Hi,

I am also trying to get buy a Navitimer Heritage (blue). I do not know which company to use, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

I tried GlobalReplica.com as my son did the research as the watch was a present for him. After waiting a month waiting fot he watch and several telephone calls I now realize the company should be avoided. They have not taken the money fortunately, but I can't seem to cancel the deal. They do not respond to emails, nor do they have a postal address where a recored letter can be sent. The credit card company can't cancel the transaction, all they can do is take a action once the sale goes through, if ever it does. Email cancellations are not proof as one has to prove they received it, read receipts are ignored by them.

It just goes to show how careful one has to be.

Great site and thanks to you all.

Cheers
