New Navitimer from Trevor (Lots of Pics)

Honestly, yes. The strap itself is....nice; but the real kicker is the deployant clasp. An OEM one from Breitling is $200, and this one will accept an OEM Breitling strap without issue; so, buy the strap + clasp for $42, go to AD and buy a gen Breitling leather strap, and put it on the clasp and it looks completely OEM. Then use the strap as a backup to your OEM one.
The straps are nice, not 100%; but nice. They don't look or smell like real leather to me though. The stitching is superb, however the size (girth) is actually bigger than the OEM one. I have the brown croc and that's actually what's on it right now as I wore brown to dinner last night. You can really tell the difference on the inside material vs the OEM. The reps have a plastically look to them. All correct markings, however they aren't the same. The markings look pressed on, whereas the OEM look inscribed to me. On the wrist though, you'd be hard pressed to find someone that would be able to call you out on it.

haha so u didnt recieve the one with the ETA font either? i swear i sent him pics of the watch i wanted from his photobucket 5 times and ended up with a diff one.anyway doesnt matter im not annoyed...have u found a datewheel yet? please keep us informed on the progress of that,i have a navi quartz with a nice font that i want to try n get transplanted.
Yeah I had a black one like yours, showed him the same pic I'm sure you did with the good datefont, and got the wrong one.
Sold that one, then sent pics of both datefonts to him showing him the difference and which one I wanted. Got the same thing
I've got a datewheel, just waiting for the dial and the watch is going to Joe probably for mods. I'll have a Frankentimer II by the time this thing's done.

maaaan that is one sad story.i guess i did the smart thing by deciding to keep mine.anyway hope it all works out,keep us posted on the progress of the dial/datewheel transplant.
machine,
maybe the info is in the thread somewhere and I missed it. But where did you get the black heavily padded strap you have on your serie speciale, and how much was it. Incredible strap, great look. Mine (from Trevor) should arrive any day now and I'd like to put a strap like yours on it. Thanks.

Both watches from Trevor
Does anybody knows why the blue Navitimer Serie Speciale is $210.00
http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20687
And the black Navitimer Serie Speciale is $170.00. Even the black SS version is only $180.00.

I asked him the other day why his were so much cheaper than the other vendors and he said the dial was different but I couldn't see the difference.
Thanks

Nice looking Watch.
Would like to know whether all the Navi's are made in the same factory, or the pieces offered
by Trevor and Josh and others are diiferent?
Certainly a big difference in the price??
